Pet names for girls come in all sorts of styles and sounds, from popular picks to ultra-unique monikers. You can find cute and cuddly picks and tough cookies with mighty meanings. You may even find a few food-themed friends like Apricot. Check out some special selections from our extended list with us.

A good starting point is with popular girl pet names, as these precious picks are common for a reason. They’re cute, easy to say, and pair well with commands. Bella is a modern favorite for dogs, cats, and bunnies alike. With a meaning like “beautiful one,” it’s no surprise why people adore her. Great meaning is also behind Lucy, whose “of the light” meaning is precious. Some popular pet picks are forever in style for critters like Molly, Daisy, and Maggie. Others enjoy a more contemporary commonness, including Sophie, Sadie, and Chloe. For more popular picks, see Bailey, Lola, and Coco.

Cute pet names for girls are always in style. Luna is a contemporary favorite, meaning “moon.” If you like her vibe but prefer something more unique, check out Lulu. Sharing her cutesy repeat styling is Gigi. A French find, she means “farmer.” Lilah is another cutie, meaning “night.”  Tillie is sweet on the ear with hidden strength, as her “mighty in battle” meaning is tough as can be. This is also true of Nyla, meaning “one who achieves.” See Clementine, Sugar, and Sally for more cute contenders.

Other pet names for girls are personality-packed, like the little lady Love. Perfect for an affectionate fur friend, she proclaims your pet’s sweetness loud and clear. You can also find many happy monikers, including Joy, Merry, and Felicity. A talkative critter would suit Rani or Riya, meaning “she is singing” and “singer,” respectively, while a quiet companion fits the “quiet” Shizuka and Coy.

Appearance-based pet names for girls are always beloved, especially for eye-catching creatures. Check out Ivory, Bianca, and Alba for a white-furred friend, or for a black-haired pet, see Ebony, Kali, or Onyx. Score red-themed vibes with Ruby, Scarlett, and Sienna, or go gray with Grizela and Graycen. Petite pets are natural picks for names with small meanings, like Pavla, Posy, and Lita., while large animals would suit Sequoia, Denali, and Titania.
