100 Popular Girl Dog Names

Choosing a name for your girl dog is important because it’s a name you and your puppy will be using for a long time. It deserves some thought. A good name can actually help your dog respond better and improve communication between you over the years. We’ve collected the 100 most popular girl dog names from the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset to inspire you.

How to Choose the Right Female Dog Name

Dogs tend to hear hard consonants and long vowels better, so names like “Bella” or “Sadie” are easier for them to recognize. Most dog training experts suggest picking a one- or two-syllable name that you can say quickly.

It’s also a good idea to avoid names that sound like commands. For example, “Kit” might be confused with “sit,” and “Bo” can sound like “no.”

Choose a name you enjoy saying and won’t mind using in public or putting on a dog ID tag. You’ll be saying your girl puppy’s name often, whether it’s to grab her attention or as part of training and socialization.
