Many female puppies are named after a favorite movie star, sports star, cartoon character, singer or media personality. You'll find plenty of Angelinas, Charlizes, Beyonces and Katies out there in the dog world!
Another good place to search out a good female dog name is to research the history and origin of your dog's breed.
I find that it's very helpful to have your little girl puppy in front of you when coming up with ideas for her name. You may choose to match a name to her personality, temperament, any quirky habits she has or her appearance.
Search through the lists of female dog names located further down this page - you're sure to find some that take your fancy.
If you have a purebred puppy complete with papers you can look back through the family tree of your dog. This may help you come up with a very suitable name and carry on the family tradition/name. This is the most common method used when people name race horses.
Often when you first set your eyes on a puppy a highly suitable name will simply jump into your mind - there's no need to rush into a decision before you have even seen your little girl.
Involve your family in the naming process - sit down and have a brainstorming session together. Throw up any female dog names you can think of, be creative, unique and even unusual. You'll come up with some awesome names throughout this process.
Ensure that the female dog name you decide on will continue to suit your puppy later in life as well. Cute puppy names can get a bit tired as your dog grows into a big strong adult.
When you have decided on a name (or have a shortlist of suitable female dog names) do a google search to determine the meaning of the name. Be careful.
Shorter names are better - one or two syllables is usually best. It's easier for your dog to understand and quicker for you to call out in an emergency.
Remember you will be using your dog's name in public - so keep it nice and clean!
Do not select a female dog name that sounds similar to an obedience training command that you may use in the future. Avoid names that sound similar to sit, stay, leave it, down, come etc...
Do not select a name that is similar to a family member or friend - this just confuses the issue for your dog. Make your female dog name distinctive and different.
Once you've decided on your perfect name, stick with it. Try not to confuse things by using different nicknames or through different family members using a variety of names.
