When I chose the name for my female dog, the decision was quite easy.
She was already named Amalia by the breeder and from the day we reserved her to the day we could bring her home, I always used that name when talking to my family and friends about her.
So it became familiar and I couldn’t imagine calling her anything else.
Before that, I looked up every possible female dog name on the internet, from the most popular ones to the unique and cute names.
It is so hard to choose the right name for your puppy as it will stay with it forever and you will want it to be music in your ears.
Here are some tips to consider when choosing the right female dog name in 2021:
It has to be easy and should consist of one to two syllables It has to be a unique name for a girl which means no other family member or friend’s dog should have the same name to avoid confusion It should not sound like any basic obedience command You should only use it in a positive context If you are getting a puppy, consider purchasing this complete puppy planner that will make your life so much easier in the first couple of months!
