Chihuahua Names: Male, Female, Cute, and Mexican
My name is Tatiana, but my friends and family call me Tutta. I like writing articles that help bring people closer together.
Chihuahua's may be small, but they've got big personalities! This article will help you find a name for your feisty new pup.
“Yo quiero Taco Bell,” is a phrase you might remember that cute little Taco Bell dog saying on commercials. And that cute little dog is a chihuahua!
Weighing an average of 3 to 6 pounds (but as much as 15 pounds), chihuahuas are amongst the smallest breeds in the world; but this means nothing to their big personalities!
If you've ever had a chihuahua as a family pet, then you know very well that they make excellent family dogs and watchdogs. Their level of confidence and bold personality mixed with their suspicion of outsiders make them seem more like a guard dog, but inside the home, they can thrive in a loving environment with plentiful attention.
Picking the right name for your new puppy can be hard, but this list will help!
Chihuahua Names
If you are going to get a chihuahua, then it is certainly going to need a name! With all of the great chihuahua names out there, how can you pick one? I have made it a bit easier on you and selected some great chihuahua names for you to consider for your little pup!
Male Names
Here’s some good male chihuahua names for your tiny, new watchdog!
Gunther | Sprout | Humphrey |
Rocco | Spot | Bob |
Rocky | Bean | Scooter |
Chocco | Mr. Mister | Skeeter |
Jake | Hunter | Geezer |
Female Names
If you have a female chihuahua, then you know she can be one diva of a doggie! Give her a good diva dog name!
Dotti | Sunny | Tinker Bell |
Greta | Nova | Cocoa |
Rose | Vega | Daffodil |
Twila | Flower | Daisy |
Le Dazzle | Pearl | Lily |
Cute Names
Anything that is so little should have a cute name, right? Because we all know small things are cute!
Wiggles | Pookie | Cupcake |
Milkshake | Smooches | Muffin |
Prancer | Cuddles | Button |
Large Fry | Pooch | Sweetheart |
Small Fry | Peanut | Pokey |
Fierce Names
Little dogs are often totally unaware of their size, so don’t they deserve a name as big as their personality?
Spike | Magnum | Devil |
Spicey | Jaws | Dizzy |
Pepper | Splinter | Fang |
Habanero | Thunder | Spaz |
Nero | Dagger | Stud |
Mexican Names
I would like to take a moment to thank Taco Bell for making the chihuahua a Mexican-food icon.
Taco | Salsa | Queso |
Chipotle | Pollo | Fritada |
Burrito | Chalupa | Tamale |
Nacho | Taquito | Haba |
Enchilada | Quesadilla | Lechuga |
In spite of their small stature, Chihuahuas are known for their big personalities.
Spunky Personalities
Chihuahuas need names that totally suit their individual personality, whether they are outgoing or more reserved. They are fiery and feisty, yet friendly and loving to those in their pack. Quite honestly, even though they are tiny, I would be scared to rob a house that has a chihuahua; with how protective they are, you’d never leave with your ankles intact!
The right name will eventually come out and you will know it as soon as it hits you. If you can’t figure out what to name your chihuahua, listen to its personality—it’s probably barking a name at you and you don’t even know it!
Is a Chihuahua Right for You?
It is important that chihuahuas get properly socialized at a young age or they may grow up to be shy and timid. They tend to form a close bond with one person, much like a pet bird, but if it is raised around a loving family, the chances of having a friendly people-dog are good!
Due to their small size, you really need to take into consideration how well they would do in your home. They can squeeze into small spaces, and since they like to follow their owners, they run a risk of getting injured accidentally.
The same goes for having young children or other animals in the home, such as a large dog. Also, if you have any type of large snakes as pets, or snakes that may grow large, having a small dog is never recommended.
Recommended for You
Chihuahuas are generally a low-maintenance dog, aside from routine vet visits. They require very minimal grooming and do not need a lot of space to be happy. Take him along for a ride in your car with you and he will be chipper!
