If baby girls are sugar and spice and everything nice, then surely female canines fall in a similar category. If you are looking to name your furry best friend and think she is just the cutest thing, we have got you covered. After all, nothing is more adorable than your very own dog.
The seven names on this list will give you a solid starting point when trying to come up with the perfect moniker for your adorable pup. They are quintessential. Things become classics for a reason — they just work. Feel free to add your own spin on them as well.
Lady
This name invokes feelings of femininity and daintiness. You might have the urge to dress your pup up in bows. Lady is also a character in the classic Disney film Lady and the Tramp so if you are a fan, it's a perfect homage. Dogs with this name are sure to be class acts.
Duchess
If you are a fan of the royalty, consider this name. A duchess is kind of a cool position of power and wealth after all. You don’t have all the pressures of being a queen but you get to have some of the benefits. Beyond crowns and tiaras, this name just also sounds cute yet magnanimous. Bonus points if there are actual tiaras though. The moniker worked for a cat in Disney's The Aristocats so it should work for a dog as well.
Belle
Speaking of Disney, the name Belle is perfect for a pretty dog. This French name literally means beauty. Pups with this name are sure to be the center of attention. No promises they won’t run away to an enchanted castle though.
Poppy
If you want a floral name for your pup, consider poppy. These flowers have a rich history. They're used in remembrance of those who died in World War I and World War II. The flowers also play a special role in the classic film Wizard of Oz. A character in the new Trolls movies also uses the name. It’s a fun, bright name choice for your female dog.
Phoebe
If you are looking for a people name to give your dog, consider Phoebe. It literally means “bright, radiant, and clear.” It also works if you are a Friends fan. The moniker serves singer Phoebe Bridgers well, so why not try it on a loyal, energetic pup?
Scout
If you are a fan of the classic book by Harper Lee you will know Scout can be a great girl’s name. She’s the central character of To Kill A Mockingbird after all. Through her eyes, we witness life in a small town and her father Atticus’ struggle to make sense of an often unjust world. This is a great literary inspired name for a pooch.
Minnie
Another fun name for a girl dog is Minnie. It could have a double meaning if your dog is very small or be a joke of sorts if she is huge. It also works if you are a Disney fan of course. Shoutout to Minnie Mouse!
