Naming your female dog can be one of the most important decisions in your life, especially if you are a bona-fide dog lover. Your new dog is your new bundle of joy. For some, a dog is their baby so it’s just as important to give them a beautiful, meaningful name as it is for someone who just gave birth to their first child.
When naming your female dog, you want to give her a name that means something to you and represents how you feel about her. Her name needs to represent who she is going to be when she gets older and the first thoughts that ran through your mind when you saw her are important as well.
When you choose a name for your dog, keep in mind that when you tell someone her name, they will judge just by what you call her. Conveying proper image is important in the decision of female dog names. You aren’t only creating an image for your dog, but also for yourself with female dog names. What you name your dog says a lot about you as a person as well as a dog owner.
Many will name their female dog after a distant or late family member, favorite celebrity (sports, movie, music), etc. while some prefer to come up with unusual and extraordinary names representing uniqueness. Shorter names are even better for dogs as it’s easy for you to call out when needed and it’s easier for your dog to understand.
Common Female Dog Names
In terms of popularity, Sam and variations of such as Samantha or Sammie are probably the most popular among dog owners. This name means listener.
Some more common female dog names include Lucy, Lady, Sadie, Daisy, Abby, Roxy, Princess, Missy, Sugar, and Bella, which is most likely due to the recent popularity of the Twilight Saga.
The most important thing to remember is to never change your dog’s name after you have started calling her by a particular one. This will confuse your little girl and this is something that you don’t want to do!
