What makes a good pet name?

Short names of one or two syllables work best — pets respond better to them. Avoid names that sound like common commands (e.g. 'Kit' sounds like 'Sit').

Should I name my pet based on their personality?

Yes! Many pet owners wait a day or two after bringing their pet home to observe their personality before choosing a name that fits.
