P is the perfect first letter for a puppy’s name. That’s because P dog names begin with a hard, distinctive sound that will help to catch your pup’s attention. It’s not the first letter of any common canine commands, and yet it isn’t over used or too popular either as a dog name starter either.
The best dog names that start with P have one to three syllables. They are easy to pronounce, snappy and hopefully, pretty awesome too.
