Girl Names for Dogs

Naming your dog is very important. A dog's name will carry her throughout her life. You will call her by it, refer to her with it, and use it when she's happy, naughty, sad, or scared. You will use her name to get her to respond to commands, and to tell her how much you love her. A dog's name should be chosen carefully. There are several types of girl dog's names that you can use.

  1. Girl People Names

    • Many owners use girl people names for their female dog. Names used are short, easy to call, and typically not the name of someone you know. Most of the time, girl people names used for dogs end in a "y" or an "ie" sound. Girl dog people names include Lucy, Daisy, Maddy, Sadie, Willie, or Suzy. Other short names that are used include Jane, Sam, or Kate.

    Girl Object Names

    • Some objects just sound like names for girl dogs. Peaches, Smoothie, Pony, Poly Pocket, Kisses, Lilly, Petunia, Sunflower and Rose are all objects that sound like dog names. When naming girl dogs after objects, the trick is to find an object that sounds like a girl puppy. It should be a short word that you can call quickly. Usually words that have a couple of syllables with a sing-song sound, and a "y" or "ie" at the end work well. Otherwise, short and one syllable sounds work best.

    Girl Description Names

    • The most common names for girl dogs revolve around a descriptive word. Some of these include Fluffy, Soft, Happy, Spotty, Smarty, Spot, Sweetie, Sport or Flash. When thinking up this type of name for a girl dog, think about an action that she does, or a word to describe how she looks or feels. There might just be a good name in those thoughts.
