Tips for Picking a Cool Name for a Girl Dog

There are some general guidelines to follow when choosing a name for your special pup. Here I've outlined some helpful tips to guide you in the right direction.

• Choose a name that is easy to learn. Dogs learn their given names, so you'll want to give your pup a name that is easy to use when calling them or training them to perform certain behaviors and tricks. Pick a name that doesn't get easily confused with other names or words. If a name is too long, find a fun nickname version of it.
• Choose a name you actually love. Outside pressures might push you in one direction. Friends and family might have strong opinions and name favorites. Trust your gut and go with the name you truly love for your pup. After all, you and your pup will live with that name for a lifetime, so you better love it.
• Consider alternate spellings and languages. Many of the names on this list have variations in languages other than English, are names in a language other than English, or have multiple translations and spellings. Explore the origin of the names on this list for even more ideas.
• Let your pup choose. Say the chosen names out loud or write them on a piece of paper and let your pup select their name with their paw or nose. It's a fun way to make a final decision, and it gives them some say.

Now you have some tips for how to find that perfect name for your girl dog. But are you still not sure? Keep it simple and consider your pup's appearance and personality—or the exact opposite. For example, name your shy dog "Xena" or your stinky dog "Yasmin." Get creative and happy searching! This is just one of the many fun experiences you'll get to have with your new dog!
