Top 10 Names For Girl Dogs

Adopting a new dog is super exciting, but it’s an overwhelming process. On top of having to make sure your house has been properly puppy-proof and that you have all the appropriate supplies, you’ll also probably have to come up with a name. That’s a huge decision, and you want to be sure that you are making the right choice. To help you out, here are the top ten girl dog names according to the American Kennel Club.

Emma

When I see the name Emma, I think of the Jane Austen book and its subsequent film adaptations. So if you get the vibe that your pooch is a spoiled matchmaker with a heart of gold, this is the perfect name for her.

Lucy

If you are a fan of classic television shows, consider naming your pooch Lucy. After all, you are bound to say “I love Lucy” at least a few times a day.

Sadie

The name Sadie means princess, so be prepared to treat your dog as royalty if you choose this name.

Millie

Millie is short for a few different names, including Amelia, Camilla, Melissa, Mildred, and Millicent. That being said, you can’t go wrong with just naming your pup Millie.

Coco

Fashionistas may be tempted to name their pooch after Coco Chanel. Even if you are not a fan of the designer, it’s still an adorable name!

Maggie

Maggie, which means pearl, is a super cute nickname for Margaret.

Molly

I am bias toward this name because my first dog growing up was an adorable toy poodle called Molly. She was the absolute sweetest but also incredibly spoiled. My parents would buy her an entire rotisserie chicken every week because that’s all she ate. I remember having to ask permission if I wanted to eat some of Molly’s chicken. But frankly, she deserved it more than I did.

Lilly

To me, Lilly evokes images of Spring. The name can be spelled a couple of different ways, including Lily and Lillie.

Daisy

Daisy is another floral-themed name that’s ideal for dogs with a sunny disposition.

Bailey

Bailey is a gender-neutral name, meaning Bailiff. Just a fair warning, if you do choose this name, don’t be surprised if your dog treats you like a prisoner.
