Naming Your Puppy: The Olive & Co. Way!

Because every perfect pup deserves a name as special as they are.

Bringing home a Boston Terrier puppy is pure joy—and finding the perfect name? That’s where the fun begins! Whether you’re drawn to sweet and classic names or want something a little more quirky, we’re here to help you name your new best friend with confidence (and a few giggles along the way).

At Olive & Co., our litters are full of personality, and we believe the name you choose should be just as unique and lovable as your puppy. So let’s dive into the world of puppy names—with a few Olive & Co. twists!

🧠 What’s in a Name?

Naming your puppy isn’t just fun—it’s also a meaningful first step in bonding.

A good name helps:

• Create emotional connection

• Support early training (shorter names = quicker response)

• Reflect your pup’s personality—and yours too!

👉 Pro Tip: Choose a name that’s one to two syllables and doesn’t sound too close to a common command like “sit” or “no.”
