Contemporary R&B Dog Names

Introduction

Music is, without a doubt, a huge part of any person’s life. It is generally a great source of entertainment and can even be a way of expression for some. When it comes to genres of music, each person has his or her own preference; some favor those with a good beat or songs with meaningful lyrics while some like rocking out to loud music. One of the most popular genres today is contemporary R&B, or simply R&B. In this genre, elements of rhythm and blues, hip-hop, soul, electronic, pop and funk are mixed together. Since the 70s up until today, R&B continues to be a hit among music lovers.

Contemporary R&B Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Contemporary R&B Name

Beyoncé

Because of the fame of R&B artists and musicians, it comes to no surprise that they are a common source of inspiration for dog names. A good example of a famous dog with a contemporary R&B-related name is the Chihuahua-Dachshund hybrid dog called Beyoncé. Born in Sacramento, California, Beyoncé (named after the world-famous singer and actress) rose to prominence because of her tiny build. In fact, she only weighed one ounce when she was born, being the runt of the litter of five puppies.

The story of Beyoncé became viral back in 2012 when photos of her lying on top of an iPhone were released. She is said to be just about the same size as a credit card and was expected to take on the Guinness World Record of being the smallest dog in the world at the time. Her mother, named Casey, was abandoned by her owner and was scheduled to be euthanized. However, animal rescuers from The Grace Foundation in Northern California were able to intervene. They then help facilitate the birth of the puppies, including Beyoncé.

When Beyoncé came out, the vets thought she was dead because of the lack of a heartbeat. After much effort and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from the doctors, she started moving around and was able to survive. Even though it seemed like she would not make it, Beyoncé’s vital signs eventually became normal and she went on to get better each day. As a fully grown adult dog, Beyoncé weighs only 3 pounds and is still doing well.

Throughout her time, Beyoncé has become the poster child and “ambassadog” for spaying and neutering, which can effectively cut down the need for euthanizing of animals in the long run. Her rescuers hope that her miraculous journey will also help raise awareness regarding the predicament that rescue dogs face regularly.

Speaking of Beyoncé, the actual singer and artist is also known for being a lover of dogs. As a matter of fact, she has graced the cover of Animal Fair magazine with her dog, named Munchie. Beyoncé’s beloved pooch is almost as famous as her and has gained a following from the singer’s fans. Other R&B artists who are famous for being dog lovers include Usher (a Goldendoodle named Scarlett), Rihanna (a Maltipoo named Oliver), Ciara (Lil Texas, Georgia and Tyson), and Mariah Carey’s hilariously-named Jack Russell Terriers (Cha Cha, JJ, Squeak E Beans, Jill E Beans, Pippity L Jackson, The Good Reverend Pow Jackson, Mutley P Gore Jackson The Third and Jackie Lambchops).

Contemporary R&B Dog Name Considerations

When you make the decision to acquire a dog, you instantly have to assume a lot of responsibilities. The first of the many duties that you have to take on is to choose a name that fits your new furbaby. There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a name for your dog, one of which is the length. Any dog owner should know that canines typically recall only the first two syllables of any word. Therefore, the ideal length of a dog name is no more than two syllables. You should also take into account the sound of the name and make sure that it does not sound too similar to the commands that you normally use. For instance, your dog might confuse the name “Ray” with the “stay” command.

Music-related names are popular among dog owners because of the different sources of name inspirations. If you happen to be a fan of contemporary R&B, there are lots of options available to you. For one, you may choose to name your dog after your favorite R&B artists. Some of the most renowned R&B artists include the likes of Beyoncé, Usher, Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys. You can also name your dog after your favorite R&B songs and albums.
