Female Puppy Names

There are heaps of female puppy names to sort through, however you want to find the right one to suit your girl. It is difficult naming your puppy straight away unless you have a name already chosen, that is why we recommend getting to know her first.

Some girl puppy names just have a certain vibe to them. A name like “Roxy” has a certain spunk to it and may suit your bubbly charismatic Labrador. The name “Ruby” tends to have a bit more placid and lap dog element to it.

Tips for naming your puppy

We cannot tell you what to name your cute new addition to the family nor would we like to. We want you to choose the right name, so we have provided some tips on how to do it below:

• Watch your puppy carefully and see what type of personality she has. Does she like to be adventurous and explore everything in sight? Is she mellow and tend to be content with finding the nearest lap to sit on? Does she crave attention and constantly want you to play and cuddle her?

• Once you have the general personality traits of your puppy figured out, you can begin to sort through a list of female puppy names and see which one fits.
  
  When looking at each name, get the picture of your new puppy in your head and imagine calling out to her. See if it feels right to be giving her that name. Only you can tell which one fits.
  
   
• As you find female puppy names that you think could fit, write them down and keep track of all the good names for your new friend. The less that you write down the better, it will mean less stress when you need to decide on just the one. Try not to have more that 5-10 names in the list.
• Now you want to road test the name with shortened versions or nick names. You are more likely to call out to your puppies with the shortened name instead of the full version. If a name like “Roxy” is on your list, think about how the shortened version will sound. You may shorten “Roxy” to “Rox” or use the nickname “Roxstar”. It is entirely up to you.

• As you find shortened versions of the name you should be able to settle on just one. Practice calling out to your pup with the new name and see if it feels right.

If it does then it is great, you have found your new puppy a great name. If it doesn’t feel right, go back to your list of 5-10 and try another name.

Try not to call your puppy a name too much until you have settled on one. You can confuse your pup and you may end up with your friend responding to a name you don’t particularly like.

Whichever name you choose, you must be happy to call out to your puppy and feel great when doing so. The name should put a smile on your face when you use it. So remember, there are many female puppy names but only you know which one suits your cute puppy.
