There are a few simple rules that might help in naming your puppy. First, the name could reflect its appearance - if it’s an adorably fluffy pooch, maybe its name could be Cloud. Or, it could be based on the length of its legs, something like Shorty or Wobble. Your puppy’s name could also reflect its character, something along the lines of Snoozy, Sparky, or Your Highness. It could even be your new family member’s ancestral home that works perfectly well as a name, like Arizona or Juneau. Or, you could ditch the rules, and come up with something utterly unique, let’s say, Paper Hat, Bottlecork, mayhaps even Woomble Rexplessor. It’s all up to you, really!
However, if you’re more into traditional names for puppies, no worries, we have something to offer for you, too. We’ve already talked about the most popular names for the bestest boys, and now it’s time for the greatest gals. Just a couple of scrolls below, you’ll find a list of the most popular girl dog names, out of which you will surely pick the one that resonates with you and your pup. And no matter if your doggie is a Sadie, a Lola, or a Nala, it will always be the best four-legged friend in the whole wide world to you.
So, just scroll down below to read the cute dog names and look at the adorable puppies accompanying them! Then, tell us which of these names (or puppies) you loved the most by upvoting them or commenting right below their photos. Also, if you know somebody that’s stuck in picking a name for their newest fluffy family member, share this article with them; it might just be precisely the thing they need
