What is your favourite name for a female dog?

I need some name suggestions and I was wondering what is the best female dog name you have heard?

Not a fan of things like "storm" for example, but I'm a bit of a fan of old lady type names and something cute/interesting

Loving the name suggestions! Not seen any that's quite right just yet.

I remembered last night that I made a long list of ideas and forced family members to vote Grin I'll have to try find it out and let you lot vote too!

A Black and Tan dachshund if it helps, funny that a PP said if it was a dachshund further up! Smile

I have a rottweiler - funnily enough the markings are the same as you pooch just in bigger proportions!!
Her name is Gypsy, all well until ds brought his new work colleague home - lived on a traveller site near us back then. Blush

Our neighbours have Bridget & Brenda "the bitches"! They've only lived nextdoor about 7 week but I was trying not to laugh when my neighbour said that and my partner things it's very odd!
Each to their own I say!

Moneyissue2 Nora for a daschund is genius! Grin

I had a friend who had an elderly golden Labrador bitch called Borage. It just suited her somehow.

PollyCotton · 23/04/2018 20:36

I daydream about having a springer spaniel called Molly. I think I'd go with Daisy for a dachshund though.

Youradviceneeded · 23/04/2018 20:37

I am cracked up at a dog called Janet. Brilliant. It has really tickled me!

Maggie or Peggy sound good to me.

What about Olive? Cathy? Annie?

Belle89 · 23/04/2018 20:39

I have a Poppet! Usuallys gets called Poppets or Pops Hmm

Moneyissue2 · 23/04/2018 20:54

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 23/04/2018 21:09

ProfessorPickles · 23/04/2018 21:25

I'm quite liking Maggie, Peggy and Nora!

Going to go look for the list now!

All of the dogs you've shared photos of on here have been absolutely gorgeous. And they've all suited their names really well!
