Nicknames for female dogs of different breeds. Names for small dogs - a selection of the best nicknames for miniature pets How can you name a puppy a girl with a beautiful name

Little cute creatures today have become almost an integral attribute of photographs on various social networks for the fair sex. Just as a little beauty will become your true friend, she can also become a stylish “accessory” for you.

The nickname for a modern baby will be more a part of the owner’s image than the animal itself. Let's try to find out which nicknames for girls' dogs are most suitable for your princess.

In every dog, whether small or large, the owner sees something different. It could be a little bundle of joy, or a Scandinavian goddess. But you shouldn’t choose a dog’s name that is too complicated and too complicated.

According to experts in animal psychology, a dog will react to the first two or three syllables of its name; it simply does not recognize the rest. This is the reason why experienced breeders insist that the nickname should not be too long.

And if it already happens that the name for the dog is quite long, as happens with purebred dogs with pedigrees, then it is subsequently shortened to an acceptable length.

But to believe that if you have a miniature dog, then its nicknames are limited to the usual Bim or Sharik, this is not very true. The scope for choosing a baby's nickname is no less than for large breeds of dogs.

Fashion for dog names

As with human names, dog names also have their own “fashionable trends.” In the 18th and 19th centuries, when the general fashion for four-legged friends began, the first nicknames were given mainly based on the external characteristics of the animal or its character. So Robbery, Scarecrow and similar names were not at all uncommon at that time.

The beginning of the 20th century was marked by a fashion for names from mythology, which, in the post-war years, gave way to nicknames emphasizing the heroic nature of the pet. Brave, Glory, Victory.

The next and simply total influx of nicknames was the journey of Belka and Strelka into space, and their namesakes began to appear throughout the country.

And “perestroika” opened up an almost endless supply of nicknames that were adopted from the English language: Smile, Jack, Orange and the like.

But at the moment, all the fashion trends of all times are mixed up, and you can meet a dog with a completely unpredictable name, and you can choose very different nicknames for girls of small breeds.

The nickname must suit the breed

When it comes to Chihuahuas, they are usually very fashionable and sophisticated:

For such a dog, the name Gloria may be suitable - a playful baby, and a representative of style among the smallest dogs.
An excellent choice for girls of these breeds would be the name Lima, Linda or Silva. These nicknames are suitable for a devoted and loving dog.
Palma and Elsa are dogs whose temperament takes some getting used to. These can be girls with character.
Mimosa. The name of the queen of grotesque and charm. But away from social evenings, in the circle of family and friends, she can become just Mi-mi.

Yorkshire terriers themselves are small, but they will be able to fearlessly grab the offender’s sock by the throat and give him a fair beating.

So, such defenders should choose an appropriate nickname:

Desi. A wonderful watchman and a great girlfriend. But this name is suitable for a girl who, if she wants, can run away and take a walk on her own. Desi needs an eye and an eye.
Tina “here’s a real girlfriend-girlfriend.” A subtle, sensitive and understanding dog that experiences all the most significant emotional moments with a person.
Ada is an obedient girl who will respond well to training, but does not particularly like to be squeezed and pulled. Ada is an independent girl.

A little lap dog, pure as the first snow, devoted to its owner and overflowing with love:

Such a furry piece of happiness can certainly become Adela or Auria.
Amanda will tell you that this is a faithful friend, but very touchy, so you shouldn’t be too strict with her.
Butty or Buffy is suitable for a dachshund, pug, poodle or spitz. Such dogs will eagerly await the owner's return and will always be immensely happy about a new meeting.
Bonita is a lady who knows her worth. I go where I want, I do what I want. But of course, for the beloved owner, through thick and thin.
Vesta. Like the goddess of the family hearth in Slavic mythology, she is full of warm and tender feelings. But as a delicate and vulnerable nature, Vesta is very often offended.

But if you have a simple yard dog, the name will also be useful for her, and she should also feel comfortable among her fellow villagers and neighbors in the area:

Zhulka will never sit still. It is impossible to keep up with her, and it will simply be pointless to even try to calm down her agility.
Smart, brave and easily trained beauty can become Lada.
Rita is a small, meek and very kind girl.
Unita, as a postulate of calm and balance, will calm and restore calm and balance in the home.

A dog with such a name will undoubtedly feel at ease among its own kind.

But you shouldn’t do that

The choice of nicknames for yard dogs is infinitely large, and for purebred dogs it is completely limitless. But there are a number of nicknames that will not be very suitable for our little beauties. Alma is a nickname that is very often used for large breeds of dogs, and causes dissonance already at the associative level.

Bagheera is a predator and huntress. It is unlikely that your cute toy terrier will fit the collective image of this nickname. What other nicknames for small dogs for girls would not be very suitable?

Calling a dog by a human name is also a rather dubious decision. Not every friend of yours will understand if she hears her name assigned to her four-legged friend. And after the phrase “who did you want to call a bitch?” long years of friendship can show significant cracks.

Nicknames around us

Stylish trendy youth! We are “girls”, and therefore we love everything fashionable, stylish and sparkling.

Even here there is a whole universe of potential names for our little ones: Gucci, Prada, Chanel... anything from your fashionable world of clothes and accessories can give a dog a nickname. But there are other cool nicknames, and they are far from few.

And it’s not surprising, but Honda, Acura, Mazda can also be a name for a baby. After all, sometimes the owners of little babies are representatives of the stronger sex, and, as you know, for a man a car is more than a means of transportation.

Don't forget such an endless storehouse of names for small dogs, like movies and cartoons. Baby Ariel or baby Dory, Nala or Chiara. There is no end to your favorite characters who will give your dog an excellent nickname.

Vesta, Aphoridita, Persephone - goddesses descended to earth in completely different guises, and who knows, maybe your baby is worthy of being called such a beautiful name, being the next rebirth of the majestic goddesses on earth.

What do you name the boat?

What you name your dog will be your decision, but remember that by giving a name, you determine more than half of your pet’s character.

The name can be very diverse.

A name is a banner under which any living creature goes through life. Not only individual words, but even sounds can influence the development of character and the whole personality. A pet's nickname is the connection between an animal and a person, so choosing a suitable nickname is a serious undertaking.

Breeders and ordinary owners have different methods for selecting nicknames. In the first case, all the canons and rules by which a particular nursery names its puppies must be observed:

The dog's nickname will begin with the letter that appears under the litter number in the alphabet (each kennel has its own order, the year of birth or month may be involved, one way or another, all puppies from a particular mother are named with the same letter);
There must be a name prefix that refers to the place of origin of the parents, the puppy’s homeland, the name of the kennel (it can be located either before or after the main nickname, for example, Vanessa iz Zolotologo Luch or Sheriff aga Alpha);
Animals registered in the club are not given prefixes, only nicknames in alphabetical order, they are registered in the stud books;
The full nickname should not exceed 40 characters, only 15 of them can be allocated to the prefix;
According to the rules, a name can only be used again after 30 years.

The owner who bought a puppy is faced with long, inconvenient names and, most often, shortens them. So the dog will turn from Patricia into Patty.

Under normal circumstances, of course, pets are not called pretentious phrases consisting of prefixes, endings, names of a club or kennel. But there are several recommendations that will help you choose a loud, successful nickname.

Scientists have long found out that a dog understands only the first 4 letters, therefore the nickname should be as short as possible with the emphasis on the first syllables. The best option would be two-syllable names.

Another rule is the minimal use of “growling” and “barking” sounds. This can provoke aggression or misunderstanding of the pet. In addition, you cannot use words that are consonant with basic commands (“ Fu”, “Come to me”, “Nearby”, etc..), similar to the names of household members.

It will be better if the nickname reflects the character, appearance and pedigree of the puppy. Although if this recommendation is not followed, really funny nicknames can result. For example, if the mongrel is named Duchess.

Beautiful nicknames

Only the owner can judge the beauty of a nickname. Tastes could not be discussed. Consonance may seem strange and awkward to some, but another person will consider it the best option for their pet. To choose a really good-sounding nickname, you need to rely on associations with the puppy's temperament or appearance.

One option for a beautiful nickname could be the name of a familiar character from a book, film or animated series: Alice, Assol, Arya, Belle, Bunny, Buffy, Snow White (Bela), Belka, Hera, Hermi, Dakki, Daphne, Tinker Bell, Jacqueline, Zhanna, Zorka, Evie, Kiara, Kira, Lara, Lana, Lady, Lilith , Leia, Mini, Mitsy, May, Milka, Naomi, Nova, Wasp, Oda, Odette, Pappy, Peppy, Rose, Rubby, Rachel, Sansa, Scarlet, Sabrina, Santa, Cyrus, Wesley, Ulli, Uri, Hannah, Shaya , Sharon, Yuna, Utah.

The names of flowers or rare plants are ideal for a girl: Agave, Quince, Azalea, Acacia, Begonia, Vanilla, Geranium, Carnation, Deutzia, Diza, Spruce, Fir-tree, Jasmine, Willow, Caria, Cinnamon, Lavender, Magnolia, Mistletoe, Radish, Plum, Beans, Violet, Persimmon, Pine needles.

Of course, what nickname would sound better than name of the goddess of the ancient world: Athena, Asia, Aphrodite, Artemis, Hera, Gorgon, Hecate, Dryad, Demeter, Iris, Lethe, Moira, Nymph, Pandora, Persephone, Siren, Fiona, Ephra, Juno.

Cool nicknames

A nickname can fully reflect the owner’s character and sense of humor. If you want to name your pet funny, then there is nothing wrong with that. The main thing is not to make fun of the dog, not to mock it, not to call it harsh, evil words.

Often interesting funny connections are made when large animals are called names for small ones and vice versa:

For large breeds: Fluffy, Baby, Minnie, Smally, Bullet, Zhuzha, Sprat, Klunya, Barbie;
For small breeds: Storm, Queen, Bertha, Elba, Thunderstorm, Bogira, Thatcher, Barda.

The names of food and food products are considered funny names: Cherry plum, Banana, Ham, Vermicelli, Cherry, Granola, Pear, Melon, Marshmallow, Toffee, Caviar, Kiwi, Sausage, Candy, Corn, Semolina, Melissa, Carrot, Mint, Olive, Pastille, Parsley, Sardine, Arctic cod, Sour cream, Soufflé, Pumpkin, Halva.

Russian nicknames for girls dogs

The Russian language is rich not only in common nouns; you can choose or invent an affectionate word that characterizes your pet and is familiar to the ear. Most often, Russian-language names are chosen for domestic, northern, and Caucasian breeds. It is important to take into account the color of the pet, the length of its fur, physical abilities, size, and character.

Now it is fashionable to turn to Old Slavonic vocabulary, choose outdated names, names of mythological creatures or archaisms: Mlada (young), Golub (modest), Bozhana (gifted), Mara (strict), Yasna (clear), Dara (gifted), Diva (mythological evil spirit), Mavka (mermaid), Yuda (mythological creature), Dogoda (god of the wind).
For large dogs accustomed to work and harsh conditions, strong northern names are chosen: Blizzard, Yurta, Taiga, Ada, Vesta, Aurora, Lada, Blizzard, Speed, Strela, Askania, Young, Alaska, Naida.
For small and medium-sized breeds, you can choose a nickname that characterizes their color or disposition: Weasel, Smeshinka, Blob, Clever, Snowball, Squirrel, Drop, Bulka, Buka, Busya, Zlyuka, Bug, Zhulya, Chunya, Kapa, Paw, Doll, Beauty.
Some nicknames come from Russian names: Aska, Pashka, Dusya, Rusya, Fima, Julia, Eva, Laura, Nora, Lyusya, Ksenya, Senya.

Foreign with meaning

The best name for a dog is the one whose origin comes from the homeland of the breed. So, for example, a British nickname would be an ideal option for a Yorkshire Terrier, and a French one for a French Bulldog.

Now, along with the flow of Eastern culture, Japanese and Korean traditions are pouring into the Internet, in particular into social networks. This is also reflected in the animals' nicknames. Anime fans name their pets after their favorite characters or even just Japanese names.

German nicknames

The best German nicknames are those that characterize a specific dog:

French

The French language is very melodic and beautiful, it is no wonder that it is from its vocabulary that you can choose elegant and beautiful names for sleek doggies: Avril(open), Adele(noble), Aimi(darling), Anet(benefit), Blanche(white), Giselle(pledge), Ines(chastity), Clare(clear), Bows(light), Polly(small), Silvy(forest), Flo(flower), Esty(star), Elin(nobility).

English and American

English and American nicknames can be heard in any Hollywood film; such names are already becoming cliches, and have been among the top nicknames for several decades. Now, of course, they are used less often, but for now they are considered the most popular: Smalley(small), Lucky(lucky girl) Sandy(sandy), Shiny(shining) Bright(bright), Kukki(cookie), Goldie(golden-haired), Jane(simple), Ricky(restless).

Often in the West you can find double names: Popple Hart(purple heart) Fest Lady(first lady), May Dreams(my dreams), Pretty Baby(beautiful child), Little pappy(little puppy), Windy Day(Windy day).

Asian

Among the common Japanese and Korean names, Indian and Vietnamese nicknames, which are rarely used in Russia, stand out:Amita(infinite), Ananda(happiness), Bala(young), Vida(knowledge), Gita(song), Jyoti(light), Kanti(beauty), Leela(a game), Mira(best), Padma(lotus), Rati(rest), Tara(star), Shakti(domineering), Shoba(shine).

Japanese with translation

Popular Japanese nicknames: Akina(spring Flower), Kami(deity), Momo(peach), Tenshi(angel), Satu(sweetness), June(obedient) Yoshiko(noble child) Kiku(chrysanthemum), Michi(trail), Chica(wisdom), Yuko(useful), Yuri(lily).

Of course, such names are best suited to representatives of Asian breeds. It would be inappropriate to name the Moscow Watch after “Aiko”.

Korean

Korean nicknames are characterized by brevity. Most often they consist of one syllable with one stressed vowel.

This could be an original name for a pet:

Chinese

Chinese may soon become one of the world languages; some people study it for self-development, while others study it to work with foreign partners.

One way or another, the Chinese nickname will suit any Asian breed:

The most beautiful and lightest

Beauty is in simplicity. In pursuit of exoticism and pretentiousness, owners forget that a name that is too long will be inconvenient to pronounce or will not take root in the family. It happens that the pet itself does not accept the nickname.

There is a list of win-win beautiful names that can often be heard on the street: Glory, Naida, Bullet, Ksyusha, Vassa, Dulya, Alya, Bully, Zeta, Bella, Willow, Ponka, Blot, Anger, Beth, Wax, Peddy, Veta, Blackberry, Jody, Nut, Gamma, Marta, Grunya, Nochka, Mila, Europe, Polly, Zoya, Maggie, Pina, Basta, Country, Palma, Catherine, Mirta, Lucy, Heat, Agda, Rat, Betty, Zhanna, Katie.

With meaning

To choose a meaningful nickname, you need to take a close look at the puppy. This may take several days. We need to focus on his first habits, behavior, appearance, emotions that he evokes.

You can create a nickname yourself. To do this, they play with words. An original option would be to collect the first letters of all names in the family. Or a combination of the first part of the month in which the puppy was born and the end of the camp where the breed originated.

Of course, relying on words with a ready-made embedded meaning, it is easy to choose an interesting nickname that characterizes the pet.

Modern

Of course, some of the most popular modern nicknames are the names of actors and the names of their animals: Buddy(Bill Clinton's pet) Pear(trier by Vladimir Mashkov), Dusya(pet of Alena Apina), Tequila(owner – Patricia Kaas), Puppy(Sandra Bullock), Chloe(Lindsey Lohan), Lola(Hilary Duff).

Glamorous nicknames are often chosen for small decorative pets:Lucy, Kylie, Chris, Chili, Danka, Trixie, Alice, Phoebe, CC, Fi-fi, Ki-ki, Bazi, Darcy, Mitsi, Rochelle, Miley, Dolly, Molly, Jacqueline, Ginger, Linda, Tessa, Yanga.

Rare and unusual

Originality in choosing a name is always a plus. Because the frequency of using the same nickname can interfere with training, walking and simple interaction with the puppy. Other pets will run when called, or vice versa - the dog will run in its own name after another person.

An interesting rare name would be a professional word from the owner’s field of interest, for example, from astronomy: Omega, Andromeda, Comet, Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Delta, Iota, Sigma, Theta, Eta, Venus, Dia, Eris, Callisto.
Some breeders prefer to name their puppies by brand names: Cola, Zara, Toyota, Mazda, Blanco, Bershka, Lacoste, Gucci, Chanel, Audi, Gili, Tesla.

You cannot judge the beauty of a name for a pet, because people have different tastes and different hobbies. Perhaps the dog will be named in honor of some great event or person who left a mark on the owner’s soul.

Russian nicknames for dogs are not just a set of sounds, they contain a deep meaning reflected by our ancestors. We have all heard the proverb - “whatever you name a ship, so it will sail” - exactly the same approach can be applied to choosing a nickname for a dog, which plays no less important role than the name and surname for its owner. That is why it is extremely advisable to approach the issue of choice very responsibly, and even better, think about it before purchasing a dog.

In order to choose a good nickname that would really suit your pet, you need to know some rules:

Remember that the dog's name should be easy to pronounce.

When choosing a name for your dog, pay attention to its breed. For example, the name Bublik or Tuzik is completely unsuitable for a shepherd dog.
Always remember the meaning of the nickname. Our ancestors called dogs with names that reflected their character and carried a certain meaning. That is why nicknames that are suitable for some breeds are completely inappropriate for others.
There is no need to chase originality. When choosing a special name that would make your pet stand out from others, remember that the dog's name should be easy to pronounce.
The dog's name should not overlap with the command, for example, Funtik and the command “Fu”, as sometimes this causes great confusion in the animal.
Pay attention to any special features your puppy has. These could be funny spots on the face or back or big ears. Such qualities can be reflected in the nickname by choosing the most suitable one, for example, Pyatnysh, for the owner of many spots.

Remember! There are a huge number of dog names for every taste. That is why you should not name your pet after a close relative, neighbor or just a passerby. Names like Victor or Angela are simply not appropriate for a dog.

So, if you are still wondering what to name your dog, Russian nicknames may be the perfect option.

Choosing a nickname can take a couple of days.

Choosing a nickname for a small dog is a real science. Many owners, in an attempt to be original, completely neglect the breed characteristics of the pet, as a result of which you can often find it nicknamed Hippopotamus or with an even more ridiculous name.

The name of a small dog should suit the pet; a good choice would be the names: Fly, Pyatnysh, Sonya.

Sonya - this nickname also speaks for itself;
Leopard is a universal option, suitable for both large breeds and children;
Artaud - this nickname became popular after the publication of Kuprin’s story “The White Poodle”.

A nickname for a large dog should first of all be respectable and, in addition, emphasize the individual characteristics of the breed. So, how to choose a good nickname for the “giant”?

The name of a large dog should reflect its character and temperament.

Nicknames for hunting dogs:

Nicknames for large decorative dogs, for example, Great Danes or Bulldogs:

Nicknames for guard dogs:

A guard dog can be called Thunder, Pirate or Khan.

First of all, it is worth remembering that the nickname should be in harmony with the appearance of the dog. In addition, it is important to remember that it should be sonorous and simple enough so that the dog can perceive it without any problems.

Representatives of domestic breeds (Russian Black Terrier, Russian Toy, etc.) are usually called by Russian nicknames.

In general, Russian nicknames are distinguished by their special sound. They are easy to pronounce and remember, and most importantly, they carry a hidden meaning. Especially domestic nicknames are suitable for hunting dogs.

For example, during the times of Tsarist Russia, small dogs were most often called in the French manner, but larger ones were called exclusively Russian nicknames, since not a single foreign word could highlight the character of a dog with the same accuracy as a Russian nickname did.

It is important that the nickname is pronounced clearly and simply.
If the owner got a little “wise” and subsequently encountered difficulties, you can not change the nickname, but think about its diminutive version.
The nickname should not be similar to any command, for example, Pound sounds like the command “Fu!”, and Commie sounds like “Come to me!”.
If you have a question about choosing a nickname, you can ask for options from the country where the breed comes from.

Funny nicknames for dog boys

A good sense of humor helps in life and is even an integral part of it. Often, owners want the name of their four-legged friend to bring a smile and a wave of positivity. Why not? The main thing is that you like the nickname, but in no case should it be offensive or insulting to your devoted comrade.

What can you focus on when choosing a “cool” name? For example, the size of a dog. Here you can use opposite meanings, so a tiny toy or Yorkshire terrier can, with the light hand of the owner, turn into Gulliver, the Giant, Cerberus or the Terrible. Such names for babies sound unexpectedly funny, and if the dog has character, then they sound quite eloquent.

There is also a reverse trend, when representatives of giant breeds are called by diminutive names. You can meet a Caucasian shepherd dog named Fluff, a Great Dane Krosh, or the mastiff Tsvetik, who frightens others with his appearance. But here you should be more careful, given that the name leaves its mark on the character of the pet, and, wanting to get a vigilant guard, there is a risk of becoming the owner of a good-natured giant. With medium-sized pets, you can give free rein to your imagination and come up with a nickname based on their characteristic qualities.

Owners of four-legged mixed-breed friends often experience unintentional confusion with nicknames. Initially a gentle, tiny creature named Donut, Ray or Mouse can grow to a decent size. And there are also the opposite situations, when a puppy is taken into the house, which the former owners position as a large, watchdog, but in fact the dog grows up to be the size of a dachshund. And these Polkans, Mukhtars and Caesars run around, and the owners are somewhat confused by their original, not entirely appropriate, name. If you don’t want to choose a playful nickname, and the future size of the pet is not clear, you should name the puppy so that the name is not associated with dimensions.

You can focus on the color of the pet. In this case, the nickname will reflect the inherent quality of the pet - its color:

A boy with black fur can be called Coal, Imp, Blackie, Demon, Zorro, Gypsy, Agate, Imp, Blackie, Blade, Raven, Rook, etc.
For males with white hair, names such as Snowball, Bely, Belyash, Frost, Bars, Buran, Nord, Chalk, Svetly, Casper, Edelweiss, White, Zephyr, Polar, Sugar, Refined are suitable.
Dogs with a spotted coat are called Spot, Pockmarked, Fifteen, Motley, Bright, Domino, Harlequin. Among the English nicknames in this case, you can consider such options as Bud, Spotty, Patch, Tubby.
Chocolate favorites can be named after your favorite delicacies - Snickers, Mars, Twix, Milky Way, Toblerone, Picnic, Chocolate. Nicknames such as Brownie, Chestnut, Mocha, Bruno, Bob, Darkley, Maroon, Brownish, Choco, Porter, etc. are also suitable.
Males with gray, ash coat can be called Ash, Grey, Gray, Silver, Smoke, Smokey, Smoke, Steel, Steel.
Red-red dogs are often given nicknames, one way or another, associated with the red, fiery color - Fire, Scarlet, Pepper, Red, Bright, Ruby, Garnet, Fire. Pets whose fur is similar to a fox's coat are called Fox, Fox, Foxy, Golden, Orange, Honey,

When choosing a nickname, you can also focus on the character of your pet. Puppies, like any children, begin to show some of their outstanding qualities almost from birth. What can we say about grown-up kids who find themselves in a new home? For puppies with obvious leadership qualities, it is worth choosing an appropriate nickname: Commander. King, Leader, Favorite, General, Pharaoh. Captain.

A loudly barking, restless pet can become a Bell, Beep, Whistle, Klaxon, Bell. For a dog with an excellent appetite, affectionate nicknames such as Zhorik, Obzhorik, Loaf, Termite, Crookshanks, and Pie are suitable. A dog with pronounced highly intellectual abilities can be Smart Guy, Spinoza, Einstein, Jobs, Sage, Kulibin, Freud.

The meaning of dog names for boys

Many dog breeders say that the nickname leaves a certain imprint on the character of the dog. First of all, a name for a dog means a command. If your pet hears its name, then you need to act. Therefore, the nickname should be sonorous, short, and easy to pronounce. It should also suit her character. You should not call large purebred dogs funny names. It looks pretty ridiculous.

If the dog’s passport has a large and complex name, then you need to come up with a short nickname that is easy to pronounce. As a rule, no one calls dogs by their full name from their passport. Choosing a simple nickname will make life easier for the owner and the pet. It should consist of one, maximum two names. It also matters what sounds the nickname consists of. Growling sounds can provoke aggression in a dog, since growling is anxiety for a dog.

This can happen to a dog at an old age, so it is better to choose a name with hissing or whistling sounds. Before choosing a name for a dog, you need to find out its meaning. For large, strong dogs, names that mean power are suitable. For example, Buran, Baikal or Bakhran, Harold, Julbars, Emperor, Dick, Grif, Lord, Baron, which sound proud. Names that mean freedom and speed are suitable for likes. The nicknames Caucasus, Altai, Baikal, Molniya, North, East sound beautiful.

Cute names such as Baby, Fluff, Timka, Tail, Lucky, Bonya, Dolka are suitable for this. You should not give your dog a “dangerous nickname”, as it can have a negative impact on the pet’s character and make it aggressive. For hunting dogs: Wind, Bullet, Tornado, Whistle.

Those. nicknames that will reflect her hunting abilities. Hunting dogs are distinguished by their speed. You can choose any nickname for mongrels. But it should not humiliate the dog and sound funny. After all, it doesn’t matter at all whether a purebred dog with a good pedigree or an ordinary yard dog. They are all loyal and smart. A dog is a man's friend, who will always come to his aid. A person must treat his pet with respect and choose competent care.

If a person decides to purchase a purebred dog, it is better to discuss the name of the dog in advance with the breeder or kennel. After purchasing a purebred dog, its name in the passport does not change. Typically, dog names have specific meanings. Most often these are heroes of Greek and Roman mythology. There are names from Scandinavian mythology. Gods from the ancient history of Ancient Egypt or India. Nicknames are often taken from different legends or stories of peoples of different countries.

The names of dogs also sound beautiful, meaning the names of natural objects and elements. Mongrels are usually named by some distinctive feature. It could be a spot, an unusual color or the dog's coat. There are often nicknames from famous films in which a dog is associated with the hero. Funny names are given by people with original thinking. There is no harm in this if the name does not cause ridicule, but makes others smile.

Such a dog gives a positive charge. The names of planets or galaxies in dog names sound beautiful and proud. It often happens that a dog's name does not reflect its character. The owner can give a nickname that characterizes the dog’s voice: Signal, Bass, Quiet. For example, a puppy was given a nickname when he was very active, but he grew up and turned into a calm dog. And his name completely ceased to reflect his essence. Be responsible when choosing a name.

Once you've found a nickname you like, find out what it means. It often happens that the owner cannot fully pronounce the name in the pet’s passport and does not know its meaning. The nickname can be funny, cute or serious. The owner can also choose a widespread name or a rare one. The main thing is that the breeder likes it and does not reduce the merits of his pet. The nickname should characterize the dog, then the dog will respond to it with pride.

A dog's name is not just a set of sounds, and not even just a means of communicating with a pet. Through the animal's name we express our attitude towards it. A dog's name can tell a lot about ourselves: about our habits, character and even hobbies, as well as our sense of humor and erudition.

In general, before you start thinking about a name for a dog, you need to decide for yourself: do you want to give your pet a traditional or original nickname, which perhaps no other dog in the world will have? If you are satisfied with the first option, then simply open any of the lists of popular dog names and choose the one you like.

But what if you want to give your baby a truly original nickname? Where can I find such a name?

There can be a huge number of options here.

Name of the heroine of the book or film . It's simple. Let's say you like a book or a movie (TV series, cartoon, anime, etc.). Why not name a girl puppy after your favorite heroine? Moreover, most of these names are beautiful and sonorous.

The main thing is that not only you, but also the dog likes it, it is easy to pronounce, and is also sonorous and beautiful.

Here are some of the huge variety of nicknames on a wide variety of topics. As they say, for every taste! Let’s start our list of nicknames with foreign names, which have long been particularly popular as dog names.

Foreign with meaning

Foreign nicknames are especially popular in the canine world and not without reason. These are melodious, beautiful and sometimes very original names. They are easy to select, based on the country in which “your” breed was bred. In this article we will look at names with meanings of both European and Asian origin.

French

France is the birthplace of such breeds as Basset, Briard, Poodle, Dogue de Bordeaux, Pyrenees Shepherd, and, of course, the French Bulldog. Is your girl one of these glorious breeds? Or maybe you just love everything beautiful and sophisticated, so you want to choose an elegant, but not too pretentious name for your new girlfriend?

In this case, French names are what you need! They are suitable not only for representatives of breeds of French origin, but also for slender and graceful dogs with an aristocratic appearance, such as, for example, Great Dane or Doberman. Or small dogs with an elegant or even sophisticated appearance, such as maltese or greyhound.

Italian

Italy is a sunny, bright country, where life seems like a magical carnival. If your dog has a cheerful, cheerful disposition, then an Italian nickname will suit her perfectly. But among the Italian nicknames you can also find graceful and even majestic names. Such nicknames are primarily suitable for dogs of large, serious breeds.

German

There are a lot of German dog breeds. These include Spitz dogs, Great Danes, Doberman Pins, Dachshunds, Boxers, and, of course, German Shepherds. If your dog is a representative of the original German breed, you can choose a German name for it. They are a little less graceful than the French ones, but they sound hidden strength, power and confidence.

English and American

Perhaps the most popular of all dog names. English or American names sound good; they are simple and at the same time beautiful. Among them you can choose both an elegant name and a simpler name. And, what is also important, English nicknames are suitable for dogs of almost all breeds.

Asian

Asia has long attracted and fascinated with its unique beauty and incomprehensible mystery. There is something mystical in everything that has to do with her. This also applies to Asian dog names, which, despite their unusual sound to our ears, are beautiful and melodic in their own way. True, they are not suitable for every dog, but primarily for representatives of oriental dog breeds.

Japanese with translation

Japanese names are very beautiful and sophisticated. They seem to be imbued with the very magic of the East. Such nicknames are suitable primarily for dogs of Japanese breeds, such as Akita Inu, Shiba Inu, Chin or Japanese Spitz. But if you wish, you can call any dog, even a shepherd, by any of these names.

Korean

Korean names are unique and unusual to the ears of Europeans. But they, like all Asian names, have their own charm. Such names are suitable for representatives of oriental breeds, but some of them are suitable for any other dog. If you are interested in Korean pop music or the history of this country, then why not give your baby a Korean nickname?

Chinese

Chinese names are primarily suitable for dogs of Chinese breeds, such as the Pekingese, Chinese Crested Dog, Shar Pei and even the Pug., which, despite its European name for the breed, was still bred in China.

These names, which came from antiquity, remind us of the relationship between man, nature and the Universe. Most of these names are associated with natural phenomena or flora and fauna. Any of them will further emphasize the unusual, exotic appearance of your pet and set it apart from other dogs.

By letter

Russians

Russian names, especially old ones that are no longer found among people, can also be an excellent option for those who want to name their dog in an original and at the same time beautiful way. These nicknames are close and understandable to everyone, but at the same time the connection between generations is felt in them.

Coming from time immemorial, these names are strong amulets for our pets. In addition, despite the fact that they came from time immemorial, they sound beautiful and unusual and are not at all outdated.

Lightest and most beautiful

You don't want to name your dog a complicated or exotic name. Well, in this case, you can choose a simple, but at the same time beautiful nickname for your girl. So that it is sonorous, short and easy to remember.

It is to this category that most of the dog names that have become traditional belong. If you are not afraid of the prospect of “being like everyone else” and you do not want to stand out due to the unusual or even strange nickname of your pet, then this is just your option. So, the most beautiful names for your baby:

With meaning

We consider names with meaning to be those that are not just beautiful foreign names, the meaning of which we sometimes do not know. First of all, these are nicknames that denote any names, as well as phenomena or even objects. Should you call a dog that? Yes, definitely. Moreover, among the huge variety of familiar and even seemingly ordinary words, you can choose one that will become a wonderful nickname for your pet.

Funny and cool

Most often, funny and cool names are given to dogs with an unusual or even strange appearance, thereby further emphasizing their dissimilarity from most other dogs. It doesn’t matter why you chose a funny nickname.

Why not Toffee?

It will always lift the spirits of you and those around you and will make your dog stand out from many of its other peers. But at the same time, it’s better not to forget that a funny nickname shouldn’t be offensive or stupid, otherwise you yourself will be embarrassed to address your pet this way on the street.

Modern

Modern nicknames are a reflection of everything that is constantly in our ears. This could be the name of a popular actress, or the name of a modern brand, or even the name of the heroine of a popular film or TV series. Modern nicknames are designed to emphasize that we are aware of modern innovations and that we keep up with the times. Most of these names are suitable for dogs of any breed, but especially for representatives of new-fangled breeds.

Rare

Beautiful and rare names are chosen by those who want to stand out from the crowd and make their dog stand out. Due to their rarity, these names sound original and new. True, if the nickname is really successful, then there is always a risk that very soon it will cease to be so rare.

Simple and short

It seems that it really couldn’t be any simpler. One or two syllables, unpretentiousness and simplicity in sound... And yet, these unpretentious, simple, short names are beautiful and sonorous in their own way. Therefore, one of them can be given to almost any dog, both purebred and mongrel.

Original and unusual

An original nickname can be given to a dog of a rare breed or an animal with a special appearance. Or the puppy may have an unusual color, such as blue and white or brown merle and tan. Unusual and rare names are perfect for dogs of the Chinese Crested, Basset Hound or, for example, Saluki breeds.

Top: most popular

Now let's see what dog names are the most popular in the world and in Russia. Various factors influence the popularity of names. This could be the name of a show business star, or, for example, the heroine of a sensational film. This category also includes the names of characters from fairy tales known to everyone from childhood. Often the names of dogs from popular films also make it into the top names.

Fashionable

These names can be given to dogs of any breed, but they are best suited small long-haired dogs like Yorkshire terriers, Maltese or Shih Tzu. Also a name related to fashion can be called a tall, slender dog, such as a Great Dane or Greyhound.

The Shih Tzu is a very elegant dog!

The best stylish names:

Lovely

Cute, affectionate names are not suitable for large and powerful dogs. But they are great for small, “toy” dogs. By naming your pet this way, you will emphasize her wonderful character and charming appearance. That is, exactly why dogs of small breeds are loved and appreciated all over the world.

Lungs

These names are suitable for serious, large dogs. Easy names are convenient for training, and subsequently a name that is easy to pronounce will make communication with the animal easier. A simple, well-remembered nickname is better accepted by the dog, which makes it easier for it to follow the owner’s commands. In this way, a connection is formed between the owner and his pet: send - response.

Affectionate

Affectionate nicknames are given to gentle, fragile dogs. Such as Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Pomeranian Spitz, Toy Poodle. They emphasize not only the grace of these cute babies, but also the attitude of their owners towards them. The small stature and fragility of these dogs evoke a feeling of tenderness and tenderness in the owner. I just want to call these babies the most tender and affectionate names.

Interesting

Nicknames in this category include the names of prominent historical figures, heroines of classical operas and ballets. They also include the names of animals, plants and astronomical objects. Interesting names can be given to slender, graceful dogs, both large and small. These nicknames are suitable for breeds such as Italian Greyhounds, Greyhounds, Salukis, Dalmatians, and Great Danes.

Women's

In general, it is not recommended to name animals after people. But if this name is not very common or dogs have been called this way for a long time, then why not? Moreover, these nicknames emphasize the connection between dogs and their owners. True, there is always a risk that when you call your dog while walking, several passersby will turn to your call. Therefore, in this case, it is still better to give preference to rare names.

List of female names:

Double

Double names are not often given to dogs that do not have breeding documents. But if your girl has a pedigree, then it will be very beautiful if there is a nickname written there, consisting of two words related to each other in meaning or simply beautiful-sounding words.

Such nicknames can become a business card show dog, highlight its origin and magnificent exterior. And names such as Lady Luck or Palm of the Championship, among other things, can also become unique talismans. Who knows, maybe, not least thanks to them, your dog will only take first places at all possible exhibitions.

The most popular names of hunting girl dogs (for example, hounds):

Such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, hounds, pointers, greyhounds, spaniels, terriers, bull terriers or Staffordshire terriers. These names emphasize their serious character, service and security qualities, as well as their speed of reaction, strength and endurance. When you hear such a nickname, you immediately understand: this dog is not to be trifled with.

Don’t become a hostage to stereotypes: a dog is the way its owner raised it!

Noble names are intended to emphasize the antiquity and purity of his breed. They are beautiful and elegant, so if you give one of them to your favorite, you certainly can’t go wrong.

For white, black, red color

As mentioned earlier, a nickname for an animal is often chosen based mainly on its appearance. What is the first thing that catches your eye in a dog’s appearance? That's right, its color.

We will not focus on rare and less common colors, such as blue, isabella, harlequin, we will only talk about what you can call a red, white and black puppy. In all the names listed below, the emphasis is on the similarity of the color of the dog and some object or phenomenon.

So, for example, for dogs of red color, names associated with gold or fire, as well as those indicating the similarity of the pet with any animal of the same color, are suitable.

Conclusion

Summing up, I would also like to say something about what a truly good nickname should be and what you should focus on when selecting it. Here are a few simple rules that will help you choose a suitable name for your girl dog.

Consider character. If you want your dog to grow up serious and guard your home well, do not give it frivolous nicknames, even as a joke. But if, on the contrary, you want your decorative breed dog to be cheerful, kind and affectionate, don’t give her the name Thunderstorm or Storm.
The nickname should be sonorous and easy to pronounce. And also - not too long. Therefore, do not give your pet names consisting of more than three syllables as a pet, unofficial nickname.
If possible, don't call your dog a human name, especially one that is widespread in your area. If you really want to give your puppy a human name, then it is better to opt for something rare, not often found. This will help you avoid awkward situations during walks, as well as at exhibitions and on the training ground.
The name should please not only you, but also your pet. The fact is that sometimes there are cases when pets, for some reason known only to them, refuse to respond to their nickname. If your girl has been ignoring her nickname for a very long time, then, apparently, it is best to change her name, choosing one that your pet will like.

This concludes our conversation about how to choose the right name for a girl dog. We hope you found it useful and interesting.
