If your dog has a calm demeanor and tends to be always at peace, you can either choose a name that directly means “calm” or one that means “serene” or “peaceful.” Great examples of such names are “Milo” and “Tully” for male dogs or “Irene” and “Olive” for female dogs.
Dogs do not hear words, but tend to recognise sounds. They hear names with two syllables and initial letters such as “CH, S, SCH, SH or K” better than long dog names. Dog names ending with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) are also recommended.

Classic Dog Name Considerations
These names include Fido, Rex, and Champ for boys and Lassie, Missy, and Roxy for girls.
Short, sweet and easily recognizable names work best in getting your dog to be responsive. Use a name that is one or two syllables, ending with a vowel, such as “Sadie” or “Rocky.” Don't choose a name that is too long or difficult to say. A name such as “Sir Barks A Lot” will only confuse your dog.
Practice a minimum of 10 times per day, say the dog's name (from 2 to 6 feet away) and as soon as the dog looks at you, mark this behaviour with a marker word such as “yes” or a clicker and reward with food or play while giving lots of praise.
The short answer is yes, dogs do know their names. On average, dogs can understand 165 words. More intelligent dogs can learn 250 words. If your dog is trained to recognize their name as such, they understand that you are speaking to them specifically when you use it.
Use One or Two Syllables
These types of names, such as "Rex" or "Bear," have short and choppy sounds, which make dogs respond quickly, according to Rover. Names with two syllables are ideal as well. Dogs' hearing is about four times more sensitive than ours, according to Psychology Today.
