Choosing a name for your dog can be incredibly hard, you need a lot of inspiration and patience to find the right one. You need a name that will be okay shouting across a field and a name that you relate to. The best girl dog names are ones with one or two syllables as they’re easy to shout and get your dog’s attention, a dog-like Princess Penelope The Third isn’t the easiest to shout.
Like baby names, unique girl dog names trend in popularity and you’ll see many names come and go after big events such as film releases, sports events and TV shows. These are all great places of inspiration.
Names like Jo or Bo are very similar to the command ‘no’, make sure when you’re choosing a name it doesn’t sound like commands such as no, sit, stay, wait, come etc. This is the same for similar family names, if you’ve got a daughter called Holly it’s best to not call your puppy Molly, they’re too similar and will cause your dog to be confused and second guess her name. As well as this it’s always good to positively reinforce your female dog's name, use her name in a positive context so it’s not associated with negativity.
When choosing your perfect name consider female dog names that are two syllables and end with an ‘ee’ sound such as ‘y’, ‘ie’, ‘ee’ or even ‘eigh’. These are by far the most popular names for female dogs and puppies with seven out of ten of the most popular names ending in this sound. A few examples of these types of names are Peggy, Rosie, Callie, Izzy, Kinsley and Lilly.
Before you settle on a name make sure you repeat it a few times and use it as you would when talking to your dog. Use it in a few commands such as ‘Bailey, sit’ or ‘May, come back’. This will help you bring the name to life and understand if it’s something you could use day in, day out. For tips on how to teach your dog their name, click here.
