Final Thoughts: Girl Dog Names

Getting a new dog is such an exciting time. After all, dogs are so full of love and bring us so much joy!

The first step is to find a name fitting for your new friend. That can seem like a daunting task, however. How do you find the right one with so many options to choose from?

We recommend that if you see a name you like, write it down. Don’t overthink it – just make a note. (You can also click on the heart icons to save a name in this article.)

After gathering a group of ideas, go through each name and say it aloud. Does it sound like a name that is right for your pup? And can you imagine calling it every day?

Slowly but surely, you’ll narrow down the list until you end on the perfect name for your pup.

More Female Dog Names

The ideas for female dog names aren’t over yet. If you want just a bit more inspiration, here are a few tips on how to find it.

Dog Name Generator

Try out our dog name generator. It allows you to sort by your favorite styles and themes and generates options tailored to you.

For example, you can look for options that are elegant, tough, cute, funny, classic, and more. Or you can combine several styles. For example, do you want a name that’s both classic and tough? Or cute and funny?

The generator also includes different themes, like sports, TV shows, books, movies, mythology, and more. So pick your interests, and it’ll generate ideas just for you.

Find Your Own Names

Another option is to brainstorm ideas on your own. Inspiration is everywhere! Here are just a few examples of where to look.

Favorite Locations

Geography offers lots of great options for names. For example, you could select the name of the city where you live, one that you like to visit, or a place you’ve always wanted to go to. Country and state names also work well.

We know a dog owner who studied abroad in Australia and selected the name Sydney for her dog to commemorate that time of her life.

Hobbies and Interests

Your hobbies and interests also could be the key to the perfect dog name. What do you like to do in your spare time?

Say you love to watch baseball. You could pick the name of your favorite player, the team mascot, the ballpark, or even just a general term related to the sport.

Or, if you’re a music lover, a name like Melody or Lyric could be a great option.

Entertainment

The movies and TV shows you watch and the books you read also serve as inspiration. The character names can be repurposed for your dog, tying into your favorite entertainment.

Your Last Name

We know several dog owners who have used their last names to craft a moniker for their pup. For example, one family had the last name Williams and used their nickname of Willy as their dog’s name.

Famous People

You can also turn to famous figures for your dog’s name. Singers, actors, athletes, and leaders all offer inspiration for your pet.

Is there a person you admire? Then, use their name or nickname for your pup!

Brands

And finally, brands are another place to look for ideas. Do you have a favorite clothing brand, for example? Turn it into a dog name!

A person who loves Nike athletic wear could name give their pup the moniker of Nike. Or someone enthusiastic about Apple products could call their canine Mac.

Teaching Your Dog Its Name

You’ve got the perfect name for your dog. There’s just one catch: They don’t know it yet!

Don’t worry – teaching your dog its name is easier than you’d think. Just following these steps:

  • Go to a quiet space without any distractions.
  • Say your dog’s name firmly and clearly, in a positive tone.
  • When they look at you, give them a treat. This lets them know they should respond to the name.
  • Repeat the process over and over again. Soon they’ll respond to their name without needing a treat.
  • Also, remember to be patient. This is a learning process for your dog.
