Suggestions for female puppy names that are not too common

117 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.

I’ve got a Scout and a Delilah. Don’t meet many other girl dogs with those names.

I like Patti and Joni too.

My auntie had a Jack Russell called Babs, which makes me laugh.

I'm picturing Barbara (Babs) Windsor in her Eastenders role shouting Get aahht of my pub! , which definitely channels a Jack Russell energy.Grin

I like Barbara for a girl pup.

Practically dog names need to be able to be shouted at full volume and still be completely recognisable.
So two syllables. Second one a vowel.
Or
just one syllable but unusual if possible.
Eg. "Dixie" works the first way
"Vye" the second.
And you have to be able to stand in the middle of a park in the gloaming and shout it without getting arrested.

Also foods are a bit odd for dogs. Although standing in a woods shouting "Biscuit" at the top of your lungs is a choice.
