Which name is the cutest for a female pup?
Tips on Naming Your Pup!
When naming a female dog, there are a number of considerations:
Avoid Brand Names
While there may be temptation to name a young doggy Chanel or Gucci, these types of names may be best avoided. Not only do trends change, but naming your dog after these brands may appear tacky.
Avoid Human Names
Although I have included many human names here, calling your dog a human name may create some odd situations. For example, if you meet a new person and they have the same name as your dog. While you didn’t mean to insult them, they may take offense automatically.
Consider Nicknames
Don't be afraid to give her a long name, as longer names can easily be shortened to cute nicknames. This allows for the pup's name to change as they grow.
If there are names you want to recommend, feel free to share in the comments below!
