I've always understood that a dog should have a two syllable name: anything less can be misinterpreted. More than that may just sound like bla bla bla.

My dad's last dog was named KomHere

So....... traditionally all working dogs from a litter have a name that starts with the same letter. If this is the first litter from the breeder, pick a name that starts with “A”.

First name is the dog’s name, then the last name is usually some translation of “of breeder/town/house”. An example being “Alexa van kasteel Schwartz” is Alexa from the castle of Schwartz in Dutch.

Dutch is also the most common language spoken in Belgium, so I’d start there.

If you want to follow alphabetical order in Dutch, here would be my picks:

Asiel (pronounced Ah-zeel) - Noun, Safety or protection
Bazig (pronounced Bah-zig)- Adj, Bossy
Bedelaar (pronounced Bay-del-at)- Noun, Beggar
Charme (pronounced Shar-may) - Verb, Charm
Degene (pronounced De-jey-ne) - Noun, The one
Dekken (pronounced Dey-kuh) - Verb, to protect
Edel (pronounced Ay-del) - Adj, Noble
...

If this concept is something you’re interested, I’ll continue the list tomorrow.
