Compiling a list of favorite names for dogs that are girls was not easy! We had to search many poles and surveys of puppies and dogs to come up with this top 40 list for you. Some of the names are quite common, but others are refreshingly different and unique.
It is interesting to note that many of the names on the list are human names. Often a dog that has a "'human-type" name tends to have a special relationship with its owner, who often regards their shaggy pup as their best friend, or surrogate child. In fact, many people name their dogs after someone they have known, a relative, someone famous, or someone they admire.
People have even been known to name their pets after someone because their physical characteristics remind them of that person. We suggest, however, that you do this only with careful consideration, as this naming technique has gotten some owners in deep trouble if the name is not too flattering!
We hope you have fun choosing from the list on this page. None of these favorite girl dog names are in alphabetical order, but rather listed by most popular.
