The name you give your dog reveals your age

 7:35am, 10 October 2025

No matter what age people are, there is no lack of love for pets. Many times when we go out to walk dogs, we can see various pet owners in the park carrying leashes, taking their dogs out to play, or for convenience. Pet owners will give their cute pets unique names, but to be honest, the dog’s name can really reveal the owner’s age.

Every era has its own unique memories and symbols, and names are the best memories of an era, from "Jianguo" and "Hongxia" in the 1960s and 1970s, to "Wei", "Chao", "Juan" and "Fang" in the 1980s, to "Ting", "Ying", "Hao", "Bing" and "Yang" in the 1990s, and now "Zixuan" and "Zixuan" of the post-00s generation. "Zixuan", "Zixuan", "Zixuan"...

 

People of every generation have obvious preferences in naming their children, and this preference is also very obviously reflected in the names they give to their dogs. Different age groups give different names to their dogs, but the names given to dogs in the same age group are so similar!

Characteristics of names given to people born in the 1960s: simple + cute + festive

The names given to people born in the 1960s are easy to pronounce, and most of them are based on overlapping words, such as "Pipi", "Diandian", "Qiuqiu", "Huanhuan", "Guaiguai", "Stupid", "Duoduo", "Baby", "Maomao" and "Doudou". (It is said that among ten dogs there is always one named Doudou)

This type of name is not only simple and cute, but also revolves around the basic characteristics of the dog, which may be pattern, personality, or body shape. Although the names are chosen randomly, they are all centered on the dog.

Characteristics of naming for those born in the 1970s: color + body shape + appearance

If the names chosen by those born in the 1960s are very hard-core, then the names chosen by those born in the 1970s are simply laziness! lazy! lazy! Nothing else, just lazy!

They basically name their dogs "from local materials" and ensure that the dogs live up to their names, such as "Little Yellow", "Little Black", "Little Flower", "Little Orange", "Dahuang", "Ahua", etc...

These names are simple, crude and childlike. Any one of them is full of memories, especially rhubarb!

has been with me for more than 20 years. When I see a yellow dog, I subconsciously think of rhubarb!

Characteristics of names given to those born in the 1980s: blessings + literature and art

The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere, and the Chinese people are so confident! By the 1980s, everyone had a lot more content in their names.

In the 1980s, people no longer chose names as they pleased. They hoped that their dogs would bring them good luck, so they began to place their expectations on their dogs, so a number of names appeared: "Wangcai", "Laifu", "Wealth", "Yuanbao", and "Happiness".

Some literary and artistic young people will also combine traditional festivals with dog names: such as "Fifteenth Day", "First Day of the Lunar New Year", "Mid-Autumn Festival", "Dragon Boat Festival", "Duanzi", "Tangyuan", and "March".

Characteristics of naming for the post-90s generation: Eat

The post-90s generation includes two groups of people. One group is the post-90s generation. Their names are quite diverse. Some are extremely lazy, some have westernized English, and some are extremely lazy. The "Border Collie" is called "Border Collie", the "Welsh Corgi" is called "Corgi", and the more fashionable ones include: "Anna", "Luna", "Diana", "Cookie", "Lucy", "Luca" and so on.

The people who work hard are the souls of people who work hard, and people who work hard are all superior to others! Work hard, work hard! I’m talking about the post-95s generation. Their names can be summed up in a jingle: steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, Coke, Sprite and mung bean paste...

The names of the post-95s generation are basically: "Coke", "Sprite", "Chicken wings", "pudding", "bean buns", "egg yolks", "hot pot", "glutinous rice"...

To put it bluntly, it's all kinds of food. By the way, aren't you really a little hungry when you call your dog at night? So hungry that you want to eat a dog?

Features of naming dogs born after 2000: Games + special meanings

Naming dogs born after 2000 is more personal. I have been thinking hard and can’t find anything they have in common, but most of them have special meanings.

Basically, they are like this, "Li Fugui", "Zhang Facai", "Prince", "Prince", "Mao Mao", "Annie", "Wang Dachui", "Da Ben", and various game character names, etc. It is difficult to find common ground among the names given by those born in the 2000s, but they are unique and random. They probably all want their dogs to be the most beautiful ones in the community.

 

The name may change with the times, but the owner's love for the dog will not decrease with the changes of the times. The meaning of dogs to us is no longer as simple as being a gatekeeper. They have become an inseparable spiritual sustenance in our lives. Their existence not only brings us a sense of security, but also adds a lot of fun to our boring lives.
