Most Popular Female Dog Names

If you're a proud new dog owner, picking out a name for your pet can be as fun and special as picking out the name of your newborn child.

Here's at least 20 popular female dog names you might consider for your new addition to the family.

1) "Maggie" continues to top the most popular female dog name lists. It's a nickname for "Margaret" which translates to "A pearl". It may work best for all types of smaller dogs such as Poodles and Cocker Spaniels, the special little jewel
 or pearl in your family.

2) "Daisy" is the name of Donald Duck's girlfriend as well as the dog from the popular Blondie comic strip. The name would be perfect for a Bassett Hound or other dogs with floppy and drooping ears.

3) "Layla" was a popular song by musician Eric Clapton, and would be a fitting female dog name for your Black Lab, Rottweiler or Doberman Pincher.

4) "Princess" would be a logical choice for most pet owners, and is always one of the most popular selections for a female dog. It is best fitting of just about any breed or mix of dog, even a Rottweiler. When it comes down to it many dogs are treated like royalty in their adopting families.

5) "Lady" is the perfect name for many types of exquisite dogs such as Cocker Spaniels or even a larger dog such as a Great Dane or Irish Wolfhound. Many people know of the popular Disney movie featuring the romance of two dogs called "Lady & the Tramp".

6) "Lucy" is another popular choice for a dog's name as it has many great references such as "I Love Lucy", Lucy from Charlie Brown, and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", the famous Beatles song. It would be perfect for many types of female dogs such as Collies, Cocker Spaniels and even a Chihuahua. It is also David Blunkett's best known Labrador guide dog, who once vomited in the British House of Commons during a Parliamentary speech. (source: Wikipedia.org)

7) "Shadow" is a very unique and fun dog's name, and actually was used as the name of the Golden Retriever in the movie "The Incredible Journey" in 1993. You may decide that your Retriever should have the same name. Any dog that follows you around enough warrants this popular choice, or a dark colored dog like the Black Lab.
