1-1-2025 Dog Names - Page 3
Updated: January 02, 2025
Welcome to a page that celebrates not just the love for our furry friends, but also the significance of historical events and remarkable personalities. This unique intersection is where the inspiration for naming our dogs comes from, connecting the past with the present and making every call of their name a homage to significant milestones and individuals.
Our inspiration comes from the positive side of history. In 1966, the U.S. government brought Medicare into effect, providing health insurance for the elderly, marking a significant step in social welfare. This spirit of caring and protection might be what you want your dog's name to reflect. Similarly, the first Rose Bowl game played in 1902 in Pasadena, California, started a tradition of New Year's Day football games. This event symbolizes the beginning of traditions, camaraderie, and the joy of a fresh start—traits you might want your dog to embody.
We also draw inspiration from the birthdays of notable personalities. E.M. Forster, born in 1879, is known for his novels that scrutinized class difference and hypocrisy. His works such as A Passage to India, Howard's End, and A Room with a View continue to be celebrated. From Vernon A. Walters, born in 1917, a distinguished United States Army officer, a deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, we learn about service, dedication, and patriotism. Lastly, we remember Edwin Franko Goldman, born in 1878, an American composer, conductor, and founder of the Goldman Band of New York City and the American Bandmasters Association. His legacy reminds us of the beauty of creativity and community. These personalities, their values, and their contributions to society could be the inspiration you need for your dog's name.
