What Are Your Favorite Female Dog Names?
What are you favorite female dog names? Do you prefer traditional, old fashioned, or unique names? Have you ever struggled with finding a name that the whole family agrees on, or is that just me? I can’t even tell you how many times my name ideas have been vetoed…
Perhaps given my own dog’s name it’s no surprise that Laika is one of my favorites. It’s a tribute to the little stray dog who became the first animal or orbit earth back in 1957. It’s short, it has a nice sound to it, and I love that it has a special meaning. And since my boyfriend is interested in all things space it got an automatic pass 🙂

We currently have 3 female Shih Tzu named: Gracie, Hannah & Gigi. We’ll be getting a 4th puppy at 4 months old. I’m busy making a list of possible names for hubby & me to consider. 🤗
i only have a cat 🙁
You can still use the names
Any suggestions for a tri colour female puppy kings charles pls
I had 4cavalier King Charles spaniel a tricolour we named her Sally. We also had a Ruby we named her Cindy we also had a Blenheim we named her Penny & a Black & Tan male we called him Jake Sally , Cindy & Jake where Penny’s puppies they all had a long life and I loved them all ❤️
four? i had just one to feed and take good care of the health is not an easy job.
I don’t see the name “Sachi” on this list. I’m shocked. I had an awesome golden retriever with this name. It means “happy” in Japanese, and is a common girl’s name there. It fit my dog perfectly; she was full of joy for life. I suggest you add it, pronto!!
Looking a black puppy pug name..
I have Rhonda, Bonnie, Cracker, Jojo, Daisy. From large to small. My kids usually pick the names.
Gracie
my dogs names are Ozzie and Frankie
Great post. Anya was the name of our first-ever neutered Pomeranian dog. We later had more puppies with most of the names above. When we started breeding dogs, Anya deserved to be an important part of it and so we named our kennel after her.
