101 Most Popular Girl Dog Names!

So, your family has a new furry friend? As a fellow dog lover, I find the part of naming your new bestie one of the most fun parts of adding a new four-legged member to the family.

Probably comes as no surprise, since I love baby names, too. What can I say. I like to name things. I even name my cars. #TRUTH

But, for us, we usually needed to spend some time with our pup before the name was solid. For example, our black lab, Zoey, was originally going to be Moka or Luna! Here she is all cuddled up on the couch:

Tips On Naming Your New Dog:

If this is your first time naming a pet, here are a few tips that might help out. When we welcomed our new dog, Zoey, into the family – she was the first dog I had chosen and picked up as a tiny puppy.

But, my husband had successfully trained several dogs before her, so we really leaned on that knowledge to get Zoey all set up.

These are some of the tips he shared with me when we named her and maybe they will help her, too:

1. Shorter is better – Some say that 3 syllables or less is idea for a dog. Of course, you’re welcome to give them a nice long, distinguished name, like Lady Cerulean Larkspur Winslet, with the intent that you’ll usually just call her Lady, but if you really did want to rattle off that whole name every time – expect training to be extra difficult for both of you.

2. Avoid family names – It’s a cute idea to name your furbaby after your new niece, Bella, but it can cause some confusion. Dogs won’t be able to distinguish when you’re referring to them or not – and neither can small children.

3. Avoid commands – You don’t want a dog name that is similar to a command you’ll be using regularly or even a name that rhymes with a command such as Mo – which sounds like “no”.

4. Have fun – This is your chance to get really creative!  You can even pick a name that is funny and makes you smile (see this list) or is inspired by their coloring (see black dog names here).

5. Take some time – Oftentimes, your puppies unique personality, quirks and looks will inspire the perfect name.
