Try multi-syllable names - Dogs usually respond better to multi-syllable names, like Jackson or Rita instead of Bo or Pearl.
Command sounding names - It's probably a good idea to stay away from names that are similar in sound to one of the basic commands your Miniature Schnauzer will soon be learning. (which include: sit, stay, come heel, and down)
for example: If your Miniature Schnauzer is named Ray or Kay, your dog might be confused when hearing the command STAY.
Physical Characteristics - Use any special markings or physical features that your Schnauzer may possess to help choose a name.
