Most Popular Female Dog Names

A name is probably the most important thing one will be given in life. It is a large part of what identifies someone and sets them apart from others. It should be no less important for your dog. If you're looking to name your new dog, here are some feminine names that range from simple to majestic.

Abby comes from the name "Abigail". Widely used as a term for a lady's maid, consider this name for any puppy already showing signs of dedication and loyalty.

Akyra (a-ki-ra) is Japanese in its origin and means "bright". This name may be perfect for a bright and courageous breed, such as a Japanese Akita.

Aria (ahr-ee-uh) meaning "a melody". This would be an ideal name for a Sheltie or other dog that exhibits delicate features.

Bella is Italian for "beautiful". If your dog is of Italian origin, this would be a perfect name for her.

Brandy may be an ideal name for a St. Bernard, since they have gained their fame for supposedly carrying small barrels of brandy around their neck to warm people who have been lost in the cold.

Brigit is the Irish Triple Goddess and means "exalted one". If your pooch is of Irish heritage, such as an Irish Setter, consider this name of majestic bearing.

Coco is of Spanish origin and brings to mind the word "cocoa" or chocolate. This would be a good name if you have a Chocolate Lab. If "Coco" reminds you of the world famous designer, you can use this name if you plan to surround your puppy in the lap of luxury.

Daisy is a simple name and brings to mind the popular wildflower of the same name. This might be a good name for a beagle.

Ginger comes from the English language and means "pep" or "liveliness". If you have a puppy with a more rambunctious nature, such as a Jack Russell Terrier, you might find this name appropriate.

Lady is an elegant sounding name for any dog of the female persuasion. If she is already showing signs of regal bearing, consider this name.

Lucy is a simple name and comes from the Latin word for "light". If your pooch brightens up your day, this name may be ideal.

Maggie is another English word meaning "pearl". The pearl is a simple yet beautiful natural gem, and so would make a beautiful name to any dog bearing the same qualities.

Missy can be a short form of the french name "Millicent", meaning "brave" or "strength". This may be the perfect name if you have a poodle showing signs of being fearless.

Misty is a diminutive form of "mystique", meaning "surrounded in mystery". If your puppy is a mixed breed and her true heritage is a mystery, you may find this name fitting.

Princess would be a perfect name if your chosen breed has a regal bearing, such as a Great Pyrenees. This is also ideal if you already have plans of spoiling your dog rotten, regardless of breed.

Sadie is from the Hebrew word meaning "princess". If your dog has the regal bearing associated with a princess, but you prefer a less commonly used name, consider this form.

Sasha is Russian in its origin and would be ideal for honoring the heritage of any Russian breed, such as a Samoyed or Siberian Husky.

Sierra brings to mind the western mountain range of the same name. This name would be ideal for any breed you choose, but especially brings to mind signs of strength and determination.

If you tend to think of your dog as your "baby", you might consider a more popular "human" sounding names for your puppy such as Annie, Casey, Emma, Katie, Rosie, or Sandy.

When deciding on a name for your puppy, consider the fact that you will use the chosen name thousands of times in her life. While she may not care so much what her name is, you should decide on one that you will enjoy for years to come. Putting a little thought behind your decision just makes sense.
