Naming your dog isn’t always a walk in a park. Is she more of a Ruby or a Raven? An Abby or an Athena? There are countless options to explore. We’ve rounded up girl dog names to make the process a little easier. Let’s review some highlights together.
The most popular girl dog names mirror the top baby girl names in many ways. Bella, Luna, and Lucy are by far the most common monikers at the dog park but also appear regularly in birth announcements. It’s no surprise that pup parents are borrowing these names for doggos, as they’re easy to say, making training easier. Zoe, Lily, and Stella are not far behind in pup popularity and are also high on the baby name charts. Their common canine counterparts Daisy, Lola, Bailey, and Molly aren’t as frequently used on humans but are enjoying a modern revival as energetic names continue to trend.
Layla, Chloe, and Sophie are other popular girl names that work well on our four-legged friends. Nova is another contender picking up steam, though we caution using any name with “no” in it, as this can be confusing to pups if you use “no” as a command to discourage behaviors. Astra, Nava, and Tovah have a similar feel without the “no” sound.
Opting for less popular names is a great way to end up with something unique. Uncommon girl dog names include Halle, Hadley, and Vada. They’re well-known yet not super popular, helping them stand out at the dog park. Mylah, Indie, and Capri also pair well with commands.
If you’d prefer female dog names that aren’t traditional people names, word options are where to look. You can opt for the royal titles that are always popular, like Queen, Princess, and Duchess, or virtuous terms, like Grace and Hope. Some pup parents enjoy monikers that describe their pup’s personality, like Happy, Love, and Sweetie, while others like appearance-based names, like Red and Shadow.
Browse our collection of girl dog names and see what mutt-tastic monikers we’ve retrieved. You might find a favorite.
