Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give a small dog a name meaning strong?
Absolutely -- small dogs often have the biggest attitudes. A Chihuahua named "Thor" or a Pomeranian named "Titan" is both ironic and accurate (those little dogs genuinely believe they are invincible). The contrast between size and name meaning creates endearing charm.
