Asking about a pet's name.
خلفية ثقافية
Slovenians are very active and love taking their dogs hiking in the Alps. Asking a dog's name is a common way to start a conversation on a mountain trail. In the capital, many cafes provide water bowls for dogs. It is perfectly normal to ask the name of a dog sitting at the next table. In villages, dogs are often still kept as guard dogs. Be more cautious and ask from a distance or only if the owner is present and friendly. There is a huge community of 'dogstagrammers' in Slovenia. Using correct grammar in comments is highly respected.
Use 'Kako'
Never use 'Kaj' for names. It's the most common beginner mistake.
Compliment first
Slovenians love it when you call their dog 'lep' (beautiful) or 'prijazen' (friendly) before asking the name.

Because of the dative case. The name is 'given to' the dog.
No, it's informal because of 'tvojemu'. Use 'vašemu' for formal situations.
Use the masculine 'psu' as a default; it's socially acceptable.
Say 'Ime mu je...' (His name is...) or 'Ime ji je...' (Her name is...).
