Your new pet will easily become the apple of your eye in no time. Apple is a cute name because you’ll probably be eating slices of apple pie on Thanksgiving — and really, all month long.

If you thought that pumpkins were just for October, think again. Pumpkins play an important part of November meals and drinks (PSL, anyone?). Plus, it’s a cute term of endearment, especially if you call your woofie your little Punkin.

It’s such a strong, solid name for a dog that comes into your lives in November. It makes you think of fall days, woodsy scents, hiking on trails, and is easily associated with autumn.

Sage is a superstar when it comes to holiday cooking. You can use this herb to season your turkey, or even add an earthy element to your dressing. Or, you can just name your wise dog Sage in honor of the holiday.

A brilliant beautiful yellow, topaz is the perfect stone for a November doggie adoption. Even if your pooch wasn’t born in this month, his Gotcha Day stone honors the gemstone. And the name works well for either boy or girl doggies.

Like topaz, citrine is also a richly-colored yellow stone. It can range from yellow to green to brown and orange — truly, all the colors of autumn are represented by this quartz stone, according to Jewels for Me. As if that weren’t enough, citrine itself is such a pretty name.

If you thought that most flowers shrivel up and die during the transition from late fall to early winter, think again. The dahlia is one of those flowers that keeps blooming through fall with the proper care, according to Gardener's Supply Company.

November’s birth flower is the chrysanthemum, according to ProFlowers. But that sure is a mouthful to say each and every time someone asks what your dog’s name is. So shorten it to the cute Chrissy instead.

Archer can work as a November name for your dog. It’s inspired by the Sagittarius sign, reported the website Birthstones, which is represented as a centaur pulling back a bow and arrow. But instead of explaining all that, you can simply say that your dog’s name is Archer, or as an adorable nickname, Archie.

There’s no greater nod to the season in which you adopted your dog. Just the name makes you think of fall foliage, pumpkins, and homey smells like pies baking in the oven.

The Scorpio sign (from October 23-November 22) is just one of the two astrological signs for November. If you’re into astrology, you’ll fall in love with the name. And it sure is easier to call your dog Scorpio to come here than that other astrological sign that November has… Sagittarius.

The Scorpio sign is symbolized by three animals, reported Refinery 29: the snake, the scorpion, and the phoenix. But Phoenix seems to be a more fitting name, especially if you’ve adopted your dog from a shelter, where he was truly a survivor, just like the phoenix rising from the ashes.

If you’re looking to weave some history into your pet’s new name, Daniel (short for Daniel Boone, that is) is a good option. Born on November 2, 1734, Daniel Boone was an American pioneer who became a hero in American folklore, according to Biography.

Named after the 11^th month of the year, Eleven is a great name for your dog. Even cuter: nicknaming her Ellie, which is just the sweetest nickname ever.

In honor of Veterans Day, you can name your pet after a president. A good choice: James A. Garfield, the 20^th president of the United States. Born on November 19, according to History, James can be a great name for a boy or girl, since Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds named their daughter James, as well.

No matter what name you pick for your new pet pooch, you'll be grateful that you did it during November, the month that's all about being thankful for what you have — including a new dog.
