Suggestions for female puppy names that are not too common

108 replies

Kickinthenostalgia · Yesterday 22:50

can anyone suggest some female puppy/dog names. Going to meet a puppy tomorrow, hoping to be ours. I have a name I love which is
Nyla, but DP isn’t really a fan, I’m working on it but in case he completely vetoes it I need some other suggestions. Nothing super popular like Bella, luna etc. my current dog is called ruby so that’s out the question aswell. I like the name Millie as well. I always struggle with girls names.

Villanelle- if naughty
Mango - if blonde or golden
Ravioli - if she’s greedy

Mine have one-syllable virtue names, which people look a bit horrified at, "...because THAT'S not a dog name!" It clearly is, if my dogs answer to them! I just wanted something that was nice and short. My next one might be an Eve.

Would Nya (pronounced like N-eye-a) work for you both? It's not a million miles from Nyla, but has a different feel. I like Nia, too.

Other dogs that I know are Dotty, Meg, Hazel, Jenny, Lark, Pip, Bea, Coco, Honey, Millie, Lily and Cara (I love Cara's name).

teo syllables, starting with a consonant is a good rule of thumb for names which will gett the puppy’s attention to your voice.

How about Beryl? Or Nelly?
