When it comes to choosing female dog names the problem is not where to find names, but how to pick from the thousands of choices. Great female dog names are everywhere.

Think I’m kidding? Then allow me provide a bit of inspiration to get you started…

First though let’s find out the kind of name you’re looking for. Let’s talk about your dog. What’s she like? Is she black or beige, big or small, timid or adventurous? Is she a Pitbull or a Shih Tzu?

These things will, of course, impact on the name you eventually decide on. You want to choose a name that suits the dog don’t you?

Let’s break the mould a bit by starting with some tough female dog names. Girl dogs are generally thought of a cute and prissy with names to match, but try telling that to your female Rottie!

For these ladies you’ll probably want to come up with a name like, Belle, after the female outlaw, Belle Starr, Buffy, after the fearless vampire slayer, or Maiden, after the Heavy Metal band, Iron Maiden.

Let’s offset that with some of the cute and cuddly names we mentioned earlier, like Bambo, Chiquita, Dixie, Flea, Google, Hootie, Iggy, Kylie, Lexie, Margo, Newbie, Pinky, Punkin, Squidoo, Sonic, Titch, Yoda, and Ziggy. As you can see there is definitely no shortfall in the cute female dog names department.

But let’s say you’re after something a little different, something truly unique. Abraxsas, Io, or Quarterflash do it for you? No? Then how about Isis, Nonotchka or Souixsie?There really are names for every kind of dog. Here’s another cool idea – tap into your own interests and find a virtual treasure chest of great names.

Are you a fashion aficionado?… Elle, Mischka, Dolce. Love music?…Whitney, Etta, Duffy. Movie buff?…Cameron, Halle, Reese. Addicted to Friends?…Rachel, Monica, Phoebe.

Are you starting to see just how easy this is? Still needs some ideas? Okay then, What about first ladies?… Betty (Ford), Nancy (Reagan), Mamie (Eisenhower). How about royalty?…Aiko, Sonja, or Grace.

You could even famous your dog in honor of a great female historical figure. Maybe Golda (Meir), Isadora (Duncan), or Agatha (Christie).

See how easy it is? Now that you know the drill pick a subject you’re interested in, then write down as many names as you can think of (use Wikipedia if you must). Now narrow that down to your favorites and pick the one that really suits your dog to a tee.

And if that sounds too much like hard work you can always stop by at Puppy names HQ and choose from the 1000′s of unique, quality girl dog names we have for you.
