Dogs will respond to the first syllable they hear in a name. For the dog's sake whatever name you use should not sound like any other word the dog will hear. Pics is an example, no confusion or similarity. You could take pics everywhere.
Pix is OK but Pixel, to me, is a great name What was said in the statement above is absolutly true.
A neighbor has a dog they named Bear. When they go to the Pocono Mts. to a cabin they use, the name Bear is not a good choice at all. They shout for Bear to come and everyone around the area panics and start looking for their kids and pets.
Think about a secondary meaning of the name, not just a possible vulgar meaning but what it could mean in different locations.
