The Best Girl Dog Names

If you have never owned a girl dog before, finding the right name can be a fun but daunting journey. There are a thousand girl dog names to choose from, each with its own meaning and message. What most owners don't realize is how much the name they choose for their dog reflects on them, their style, and their personality. This makes choosing a name for a female dog even more important than just picking a cute or sweet option. As you think about what to call your new, four-legged lady companion, consider the following naming trends to see what sends the right message about both you and your pet.
If you are looking for girl dog names that convey grace, femininity, and strength, then you should think about choosing a name with historical or mythological connotations. A great place to start your thought process is with the Greek and Roman goddesses: Hera, Athena, and Venus have a lot of potential as names for lady dogs and send the message that you know of and appreciate mythology. Great historical options include Cleopatra, Coco, or Marie. Other good options include women from parables, like Delilah, or classic literature like Emma or Jane.
For those owners who are royal enthusiasts, there are a bevy of noble names to choose from that showcase your love of all things royal and your animal's class or good breeding. Good choices include Victoria, Camilla, and now Pippa. If you prefer American royalty, think Hollywood and opt for a name like Marilyn, Angelina, or Meryl.
One of the biggest trends right now when it comes to female dog names is to name them after Disney princesses. Jasmine, Ariel, and Belle all make great female dog names as they are feminine, fun, and create an instant association with something that is strong, beautiful, and well loved. Some of the newer princesses also have great names, like Mulan and Pocahontas. While she wasn't a Disney princess, choosing the name Lady from Lady and the Tramp is also a very sweet option.
When selecting names for female dogs, it is key to keep the names short and sweet whenever possible. While male dogs can carry longer, more formal names better like Captain Jonathan Rochdale, female dogs do better with shorter names that have fewer syllables. If you like the idea of using Cleopatra as a dog's name, try shortening it in every day speak to Cleo. Similarly, if you like Pocahontas as a name for a girl dog then try shortening it to Poe. Not only will it be easier for you to say and remember, but it will also be easier for the dog to pay attention to when they are training or responding to commands.
Female dogs can be great companions for people of all ages or either gender. They are kind, loving, playful, and when necessary fiercely protective of the families they love. Just like with humans, their names should be chosen carefully and purposefully as the name that is chosen can influence how we perceive their personalities and relate to them over the course of their life. There are many girl dog names out there, and finding the right one for your new pet means asking yourself what kind of an association you want to have every time you see your animal. Do you want to be reminded of someone strong and graceful? Someone fun and flirty? Or someone sensible and calm? The name you choose can dictate that association for the rest of the dog's life, so think carefully and have fun choosing!
