Each owner recalls with emotion the first steps of his pet, crossing the threshold of a new home: how the animal sniffed furniture, households, and possibly other domestic animals. Everyone remembers how the baby met his new family. But the most exciting is always the process of choosing a suitable nickname for a pet. Especially if the puppy is a girl.
Features of choice
Choosing a suitable nickname for a puppy that is a representative of the beautiful half of the dog world is not an easy task. Calling a girl the first nickname that comes to mind will not always be appropriate, especially if the diminutive nickname belongs to a large female.
Of course, you can ease your task, and set off into the vastness of the World Wide Web, where multiple Internet resources offer excellent names for all breeds of dogs.
Nevertheless, it’s better to observe the animals for some time, study the habits, see how the puppy’s mood changes, what skills the animal has, carefully examine the appearance, which will make it possible to make the most accurate choice.
If we compare the nicknames of males, a much greater variety is found in the list of female names. The nicknames of the four-legged fair sex sound softer, more tender, more harmonious. Moreover, one nickname can characterize several qualities of a dog, for example, an element of appearance and a certain trait of temperament.
First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the nature of the female, to observe her manners, to see what she loves.A few days of studying the pet will determine if it is calm or noisy, fast or slow, cute or formidable.
An equally important factor in the selection of a suitable name is the appearance of the dog. Perhaps the animal has a special color, combining red, brown and black shades. It happens that the puppy's coat is endowed with a marble color, so that the search for a beautiful nickname turns from a banal task into the most fascinating family activity.
No less important is the origin of the dog breed. Although this issue applies only to purebred puppies. They have documents, a passport, a pedigree. Quite often, the official name of the dog is already indicated in the "puppy" of the acquired puppy. And in most cases it is long and complex, may consist of several common values of the ancestors. For ease of communication with the four-legged friend, the owner can only reduce the official nickname to a minimum pronunciation. Or use the abbreviation for the full name.
When choosing a unique nickname, one should not forget about the origin of the dog. Do not forget about certain traditions of most kennels, where puppies from the same litter must be called by the letter, which is the serial number of the alphabet. In this case, only litters from the maternal side are taken into account.
In simple words, the first litter of a thoroughbred female will bear the names in the letter “a”, respectively, puppies from the second litter will be given names in the letter “b”.
By breed
It has already been clarified earlier that an important criterion for the selection of a suitable nickname for a dog is membership in a particular breed. Initially, it is proposed to consider representatives of large breeds, for example, shepherd dogs, huskies and labradors. Despite the fact that we are talking about the fair sex of the canine world, their names, like men, should be respectable and emphasize the peculiarity of the female. Long names are chosen when his pronunciation can be reduced to a minimum. Although it is preferable that the nickname consisted of several syllables in tune with each other. Possessed a certain power.
The like breed belongs to the snowy world, and it is better to choose a winter nickname for the dog, for example, Ice, Alaska, Blizzard or Gerda. Some breeders, before choosing a name for their pet, try to familiarize themselves with the meanings of certain nicknames. At the same time, the name Aina is the most solid nickname for the like, which means “clean, bright”.
The shepherd is the most popular breed in the world. The names of these animals are chosen by the most diverse, although breeders recommend calling them with short nicknames. The main thing is that they should not be similar to the teams studied during training. The most common nickname for shepherd is Adele and Elba. The name Hardy looks very interesting. Even psychologists say that shepherd dogs with this nickname have a strong and strong-willed character. Mystics claim this is due to the fact that Hardy literally means "strength." Many German shepherd breeders try to emphasize the generic roots and call their beauties Young, Juno and Cora.
For labradors who are full members of a large family, such nicknames as Berta, Omega or Jasmine are suitable.
These names are successfully combined with home life and outings on nature.
With dogs of hunting breeds, the process of selecting a suitable nickname is somewhat different. These pets have long been true helpers of people. Since that time, people have been able to understand that hunting dogs need to be called by the shortest names, so that in the process of hunting they can quickly hail their pet and direct it in the right direction. And modern hunters insist that the nickname of hunting assistants should be dominated by sonorous sounds. In this way the nickname will sound brighter and louder, which safely affects the shout of a dog located at a great distance from the owner. Although there are hunters who neglect these rules, naming their four-legged girls after the patroness of all hunters Diana. In general, the most acceptable for female hunting breeds are Irma, Lada, Vesta, Yuma.
For greyhounds that help the hunter drive the animal to a standstill, it is preferable to choose names such as Spark or Arrow, which characterize the speed and lightning speed of the helper.
To date, miniature-sized dogs have become very popular. Initially, decorative babies were called diminutive names of Pusya, Lyalya and Businka. And today, enterprising owners reward their miniature pets with more refined nicknames, thanks to which the size of the breed and the femininity of the representatives of the beautiful half of the canine world are perfectly emphasized.
It is worth noting that an important factor in the selection of nicknames for small dog breeds is the expression of emotions in a nickname. And it's not just about an ironic smile. So, Betty, Amanda, Mimosa, Gloria or Linda will become ideal names for decorative girls. Of course, for animals of such small sizes, you should choose the more refined and glamorous names of Barbie, Ariel or Blondi.
But decorative dogs are not always acquired for display, in most cases they are turned on for the soul.
By color
You can choose the perfect nickname for a puppy girl, based on the color of her coat. It should be noted that the initially proposed and selected option turns out to be successful, since the color of a puppy from a young age to adulthood can darken or brighten.
Among a huge variety of colors, dogs with a red tint look quite bright. Accordingly, the name of such girls should be effective and at the same time convey the tenderness of the relationship between the owner and the pet. For example, Zlata, Zara, Ryzhulya, Freckle or Chanterelle.
The black color of the coat is a fairly common feature of the appearance of dogs. Representatives of dark colors stand out from the outside world at any time of the year. For this reason, the owner should call his pet an unusual beautiful name that will be in tune with the shade of wool. For example, Panther, Bagheera or Wax.
Dogs with snow-white coat color are extremely rare today. But the owners of such puppies need to choose the most unusual names, since the animal is endowed with an angelic shape.
It is appropriate to call a snow-white pet Atlanta, Marshmallow, Snowflake or Snowball.
Temperament
Before proceeding to a detailed acquaintance with the names of dogs that meet the temperament of the animal, it is proposed to plunge slightly into mysticism. Fans of astrology and numerology confidently argue that every word spoken by a person carries a certain vibration that affects the thought process and greatly affects the nature of the living being. For pets, the same vibration system works.
Each word that sounds to the dog has a certain energy. And the more often the dog hears these words, the more they perceive them, and even begin to adapt to what has been said. In simple words, if an active dog is said to be lazy, it will actually start to be lazy. In turn, scientists have proved that it is the vibrational effect of words that allows pets to understand their owners.
In general, each breeder noticed that the pet's nickname given at a young age largely characterizes the behavior of an adult dog. Named after a puppy from birth, no dog handler can say for sure what a dog should become at an older age. From this it follows that a person, giving this or that nickname, draws the fate of the pet.
Choosing a suitable nickname according to the nature of the pet, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the puppy purchased, because each representative of a particular breed of dog has unique abilities. German shepherds are guard dogs, Labradors are family creatures.
The lack of upbringing in the presented dogs can lead to unpleasant consequences, and an initially incorrectly chosen name can generally affect the relations of the pet with the owner.
As evidence that the nickname of the animal affects its character, we give the story of one shepherd. The owner of the dog did not raise the girl; he allowed her to do everything. As a result, the shepherd began to sleep on the master's bed, not letting her owner in her bed. In addition, she began to behave abruptly and show dominant inclinations. The owner could not cope with his pet, and the dog had to be euthanized. They called the Adda Shepherd Dog.
Dogs with such a nickname show a very strong character, they are masterful and very vindictive. Of course, the lack of education also played an important role, but the puppy is given a name almost from birth, and training begins later. It turns out that the shepherd has been endowed with leadership qualities since childhood, and the owner’s indifference only aggravated the situation. A similar option is considered the nickname Aza.
List of rare names
A huge plus in choosing a suitable female nickname for a dog is unusual, uniqueness and rarity. And all because often-used dog names can confuse puppies even while walking. The owner will call his favorite, and a completely different dog with a similar nickname may run up to him. Therefore, rare dog names are considered honorable.
Quite often, breeders call their four-legged beauties nicknames associated with work activities or hobbies of the owner.
For example, astronomers call their favorites Andromeda, Comet, Delta, Sigma. People who are professionally engaged in automobiles will obligatorily reward their dog with a nickname associated with their favorite car brand, for example, Toyota, Audi, Lada, Tesla, Mazda or Prior.
Nevertheless, nicknames associated with ancient mythology are considered the most unique options. They can be applied to dogs of any breeds, sizes, fields of activity. So, the nickname Aurora is ideal for both huskies and pugs.
The uniqueness of antique nicknames lies in the presence of certain values and historical information that can greatly affect the fate of the dog. But the most common mythological names are Athena, Artemis, Hera, Clio, Liber, Pandora, Circe and Juvent.
Most popular options
At the frantic pace of the modern world, not every new owner has free time that he can spend on finding a suitable nickname for his puppy. Therefore, the most popular and common options are used. For example, Orange, Lucky or Jack. Although today double and even triple nicknames using both foreign and Russian words are gaining wide popularity.
Moreover, double and triple options vary with fashion trends.
Previously, fashion trends demanded to name animals by the names of literary heroes, for example, Jena or Ariel. In the beginning of the 90s, series were replaced by literature, respectively, the preferences of dog breeders in the nicknames of their wards changed, where the names of Isaur or Tonya were of particular interest.
After several decades, the list of dog nicknames, especially for girls, received a wide variety. So, puppies representing the fair sex of the canine world can be christened with the name of the currency of a country. Still, the most popular nicknames today are Molly, Sophie, Bella, Lady, Eni, Rosie, or Tasha.
Best foreign names
For dogs whose breed roots are of foreign origin, it is best to select nicknames that correspond to their homeland.
It would be appropriate to give the pet a nickname corresponding to the place of birth of the dog, or to name the baby with a name that characterizes his native country. For example, a female French bulldog can be baptized with the nickname Chanel. For the Yorkshire Terrier, the British nickname would be ideal.
And the Japanese Akita Inu will proudly wear the exotic nickname Jun, which means "obedient" in Japanese. The Japanese always tried to emphasize the beauty of their animals, so they called them by names associated with the beauty of appearance. For example, Akemi, which literally means "bright beauty."
Today, dog names associated with Japanese and Korean culture are practiced. This is exactly what anime fans use.
It is further proposed to become more familiar with foreign names originating in various countries of the world.
First of all, it is necessary to consider German culture. This dialect is notable for its rude pronunciation and frequent use of hard, hard sounds. For example, Agna, which means “holy” in translation. The bit is "blessed." Hertha is a “spear”. Jeet is "great." Idan, despite the rude pronunciation, translates as "new love." Kiel is a "favorite." Ciji - "tenderness." Frida is the "elf." Hedi is "war." Erna is "immortal."
The French dialect is more gentle and melodic. Words spoken in this language seem beautiful and elegant. Respectively, a nickname with French roots will emphasize the greatness of the dog's femininity. For example, Avril translates as “open.” Aimi is a "favorite." Ines - "chastity." Flo is the "flower." Elin - "nobility."
Along with the French and German dialects, English and American are very popular.
And all thanks to foreign cinema. Commissar Rex and dear Max have become stamps and hold the brand for several decades. But for representatives of the beautiful half of the canine world, even in cartoons and movies, chose unusual and exquisite names.
For example, Lady, a tramp's girlfriend, or Nana, a friend of Peter Pan. Other names are found in contemporary art, for example, Smolie - “small”. Lucky is the "lucky one." Cookies are cookies. Goldie - "golden-haired", by the way, this nickname is very suitable for Labradors. Ricky is "restless."
The double names that were mentioned earlier became common in the West, and are of particular importance for female dogs. For example, Pepple Hart is the "purple heart." May Dreams - “My Dreams.” Pritti Baby - "a beautiful child." Little Pappi is a “little puppy”, only large dogs with such a nickname will be very difficult. This factor should be considered when choosing a puppy's nickname.
In the territory of the CIS countries, Asian and Mongolian names for animals are very popular. But despite the ability to use foreign nicknames, not every breeder will agree to name his beloved girl by the tough name Bala, Rati or Shakti. Although these three options have quite interesting literal translations.
The same goes for Japanese names. Very rarely it turns out to meet a dog with the nickname Kami, which means “deity”. Tenshi is an "angel." June is "obedient." Yeshiko - "noble." Chika - means "wisdom."
Nicknames of Korean descent are characterized by the brevity of spelling and pronunciation. It is important for them that the nickname of the animal consisted of only one syllable. So, once in Korea, you can meet dogs nicknamed Tu - "star". Lan - translates as "peaceable." Kim is the golden one. Mi is "beauty."
Chinese nicknames, along with Japanese, have a certain rigidity and sometimes seem gibberish in pronunciation, but despite this, each individual nickname has its own flavor. For example, Zhu is “bamboo”. Xu - “snow”. Maily is “beautiful.” Yubi is an emerald. Swin - "simplicity."
Interesting Russian nicknames
The Russian language is by far the richest, it is constantly updated with new words. It contains not only a huge variety of household names, but also independently invented unusual, original and affectionate nicknames, which turn out to characterize several advantages of your pet at once. Moreover, this unique name will not cut the ears of others.
In general, Russian-speaking names are selected for dogs of domestic breeds, northern and Caucasian, but even representatives of foreign pedigrees, for example, Korean Hindo, will proudly wear a Russian nickname.
It is important to take into account the color of the pet's hair, the length of the hair and its physical abilities.
Today it has become quite fashionable to use Old Slavonic vocabulary and choose so obsolete names that, in principle, relate to mythological culture. For example, Goluba means “modest”, Mara - “strict”, Dara - “donated”, Diva - this beautiful and interesting option denotes a mythological evil spirit.
Dogs whose fate from birth was destined to serve in harsh weather conditions, a nickname is selected, corresponding to the seriousness of the work. And it is precisely these girls who bear the coolest names - Blizzard, Taiga, Vesta, Aurora, Arrow, Alaska.
For dogs that differ in medium and small sizes, the nickname is selected according to the coat color and their temperament. For example, a miniature and funny baby in Russian sound may turn out to be Weasel, Blot or Snowball. Representatives of medium-sized breeds are appropriate to call the original Russian common names of the bug, Chun, Lap or Pretty.
Today, there are Russian nicknames that are used extremely rarely. And some even believe that their roots are of foreign importance, but in reality this is not so. For example, the nickname Dusya is a Slavic word, from the very beginning being a household name. By a similar principle, the nicknames Lucy, Nora, Senya, Xenia and Zhenya are considered.
And let these famous names seem old and simple, in fact they are the coolest, and most importantly, significant.
Simple and short options
Choosing the right nickname for a little puppy is not an easy task, especially if the dog is a representative of the beautiful half of the canine world. But it is not necessary to choose a unique or unusual nickname, especially if the pet was purchased for the soul and family content.
A separate issue is the future fate of the dog. If suddenly a thoroughbred girl is brought in for breeding, participation in exhibitions or various competitions, she should have a stately and majestic name consisting of several words. Well, a puppy taken for family maintenance is much more often given nicknames that do not have unique roots, simple and easy to pronounce, freely remembered by the animal.
The main thing is that the name does not have a common combination of sounds with command words that are used in training.
Otherwise, the dog will simply get confused and stop responding to its nickname.
In addition, the names for the female representatives of the canine world are often not only simple, but at the same time funny. For a more detailed introduction, it is proposed to see a list of nicknames beginning with each individual letter of the alphabet.

What do celebrities call their pets?
Each person has a certain place in his soul for the love of small and charming pets. This applies not only to ordinary people, but also to global stars.
For instance, The glamorous blonde Paris Hilton has a pet - Tinkerbell dog. In total, 17 representatives of different decorative breeds live with the girl, but it is Tinkerbell who gets all the laurels of popularity. This charming little dog participates in fashion shows, walks on the catwalk and even became the main character of the book, which was liked by many literature lovers for the light humor and irony correctly presented by the author.
As for fashion shows, the proceeds from events where Tinkerbell takes part are sent to the animal rescue fund.
Selena Gomez also boasts a wide soul and a huge heart. Thanks to her love for animals, she managed to save more than one dog thrown into trouble. Six charming dogs live with her, four of which she found on the street, and two of them were taken from the shelter.
Yes, these dogs do not have a pedigree, they have no great ancestors in the family, but the curs fell into good hands, thanks to which they receive worthy attention along with thoroughbred dogs. In exchange, they serve their mistress faithfully, always ready to support and come to the rescue. The only one of them is Fina.
Along with Hollywood stars, Russian actors also pay attention to the problem of abandoned dogs. So, Konstantin Khabensky did not succumb to fashion trends and made a four-legged girlfriend from a sheltercalling her Frosya. An outbred baby with many diseases did not even believe that someone needed her. Konstantin managed to convince the animal that not everything was lost. Thanks to good care and treatment, Frosya quickly recovered.
Now she, as a true and faithful friend, always accompanies Constantine.Frosya visits his master’s workplace, everyone is waiting for the dog on the set. In addition, Frosia and Constantine travel together to different cities. Khabensky’s love for his pet is so wide that even when choosing a hotel room, he requires a separate place for her so that the girl feels comfort and coziness.
In addition to the sleeping area, the hotel must have a place for walking animals so that Konstantin can take Frosya for a walk.
Special attention should be paid to the famous dog throughout the CIS, Labrador Connie, who was the first darling of her owner Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. She, like one of his family members, lived within the walls of the Kremlin. Connie became the president’s first dog since he took office.
Labrador was presented to Putin by Sergei Shoigu as a sign of respect, loyalty and devotion. Moreover, Shoigu bought a dog for the president not just by hand, he carefully studied nurseries and clubs where they were breeding this noble breed. His labors were not in vain. Connie turned out to be a very smart dog, obedient, trainable.
Unfortunately, in 2014 she died. During these 14 years, she faithfully served her master. The people say a lot of good words about Connie, and still do not forget. Journalists sometimes joked that Connie is the first adviser to the president, helping Vladimir Vladimirovich to endure state shocks steadily and make decisions on serious issues. Later, journalists began to joke that Connie was the successor of Vladimir Vladimirovich, and even some liberals, supporting humor, said that they would definitely vote for her in the elections.
Many people know that a book entitled “Connie's Tells” was released for sale, in which it tells about the life of its owner on behalf of the dog itself. The publication is issued in English and is intended for children to learn a foreign language.
During his life in St. Petersburg, Labrador Connie was erected a monument on the playground, and residents of nearby houses believe that thanks to this monument it will be possible to maintain good and order in the neighborhood.
Tips
Finding a nickname for your pet is an individual matter. Each owner names his dog according to his own preferences and desires. Dog handlers, in turn, offer the newly-minted owner 5 useful tips, thanks to which it will be easier to choose the perfect nickname for a small dog.
- The complexity of the nickname. The name of the animal must consist of one, maximum two syllables. Three syllables and more sound rather difficult for the dog, and are not remembered. Therefore, a pet can be too confused with a phrase or a whole sentence. A short nickname for a four-legged friend, even in extreme situations, will reduce risks and minimize danger. After all, while the owner of the dog pronounces the long name of the animal and gives a command, something irreparable can happen.
- The first letter of the nickname. Dog handlers argue that a woman's nickname should begin with a consonant. In this case, the nickname is remembered by the animal much easier, especially with frequent visits.
- The uniqueness of the name. To date, it is important to call your puppies nicknames that are unique. This will help to avoid confusion during walks or at dog sports fields, especially when it comes to exhibition events. In addition, the lack of uniqueness in the nickname of the animal can lead to the fact that the dog’s image and character lose their own individuality, lose their significance.
- Alignment with the family. The name chosen for the dog should appeal to every member of the family. If there is no way to reach a certain consensus, you can play the family lottery, where everyone offers their own option. And already by lot, the dog herself chooses the nickname she likes.
- The clarity of the dog’s name. When referring to an animal, especially a puppy who is only accustomed to his name, in no case should you use diminutive forms of the nickname or make additional prefixes. Otherwise, the dog will get confused and stop responding to his name.
