From physical traits to personality and mannerisms, a Bedlington Terrier's name can be inspired by any number of things. Known for their distinctive head shape that is commonly compared to that of a lamb, they can give off a gentle and placid vibe. That is, until the spunky terrier is aroused in them. They are a versatile breed that is right at home swimming, running, and keeping the peace next to their owner's side.

Keeping names traditional can lend a classic and timeless ring while inventive names can inspire creativity and charm. When naming a Bedlington for the purpose of registering with a kennel organization, one will typically end up with three to four names altogether. This can wholly depend on the organization and its naming guidelines. While some choose to incorporate the breeder's last name or kennel name, others use the first names of the dog's parents. For the sake of accurate record keeping, all common names will be affixed with a number. Designations that denote championship or any other award winning status are not permitted unless and until owners are able to document the honor as fact. Symbols, trademarks and derogatory names are strictly prohibited. Though registered animals keep their formal names for future breeding purposes all throughout life, the majority of Bedlingtons go by a simpler, every day name.
