Best Female Dog Names

When it comes to choosing female dog names the problem is not where to find names, but how to pick from the thousands of choices. Great female dog names are everywhere.

Don't believe me? Okay then, here are some ideas to get you started...

First though let's find out the kind of name you're looking for. Let's talk about your dog. What's she like? Is she black or beige, big or small, timid or adventurous? Is she a Pitbull or a Shih Tzu?

These things will, of course, impact on the name you eventually decide on. You want to choose a name that suits the dog don't you?

Let's break the mould a bit by starting with some tough female dog names. Girl dogs are generally thought of a cute and prissy with names to match, but try telling that to your female Rottie!

Here are some tough dog names for girls; Boudica, a legendary warrior queen, Pantera, after the heavy metal band, or Alabama, after the butt-kicking anti-hero from the movie, True Romance.

And here are some that are more suited to the, "too cute for words" girl dogs we spoke about earlier. There are tons of these, so here's a quick sample - Bam Bam, Coco, Disney, Eggnog, Gidget, Hootie, I-Pod, Junebug, Maybelle, Munchkin, Newbie, Peaches, Q-Tip, Squidoo, Swoosie, Tuppence, Uschi, Womble, Zsa Zsa. There is no shortage of cute female dog names.

But let's say you're after something a little different, something truly unique. Abraxsas, Io, or Quarterflash do it for you? No? Then how about Isis, Nonotchka or Souixsie?

You see there are female dog names to suit just about any dog. All you have to do is think of something that you (or your dog) is interested in and the ideas literally drop into your lap.

Is your dog a fashion hound?…Gucci, Dolce, Prada. Love music?…Joplin, Joan Jett, Latoya. Movies?…Hepburn, Garbo, Harlow. Television?...How about Oprah, Murphy (Brown) or Ally (McBeal)?

By now you're probably beginning to see how easy it is to come up with a name for your female dog. What's that? You still need more? Okay then... How about first ladies?…Jackie O, Abigail (Adams), or Ladybird (Johnson). What about Royalty?…Beatrix, Cleopatra, or Maxima.

You could even name your dog after one of the great women of history, like Amelia (Earhart), Florence (Nightingale), or Helen (Keller).

See how easy that was? So now that you know how it works, just pick a subject and note down any names that appeal to you (go online if you have to!) Next trim the list down to your favorite favorites, and pick the creme de la creme for your pooch.
