When creating this Poodle names page we tried to take into account some
of the many virtues that this unique breed possessed. Although many
mistake this breed as having originated in France, sources in the know
have this breed showing up in Germany first around the 1600s to the
1700s, followed by Russia and France.
Regardless of it’s country of origin, some of the things we admired most about Poodles are…
-They’re beautiful…With their curly hair, and statuesque good looks, it’s like they know darn well they’re better looking than most pups on the block.
-They’re not sissy’s…Having been bred as water-retrieving pups, they can be trained to be a sporting dog. Good looking once groomed, but not afraid to get a little dirty.
-They’re smart…It’s like they’re Einstein’s on four legs! Making Poodles obedient and easily trainable.
So what’s there not to like about them? Nothing really.
That’s why we offer below unique Poodle dog name suggestions and lists that are gender specific as well as additional creative ideas that are perfect as names for Standard Poodles, Toy Poodle names and even some ideas from France if looking for French Poodle names. Oui Oui!
Anna: Means “grace,” or “gracious,” and is a fitting title for a graceful and elegant female Poodle.
Bijou: A unique and refreshing French choice that means “jewel,” this truly identifies your confident and intelligent female Poodle.
Frederic: A French choice meaning “peaceful ruler,” this is suited for a Poodle that has a prominence and presence about him.
Juliette: A striking French title that rolls off the tongue and is well suited for a gentle and graceful female pup that is long and lean.
Napoleon: The perfect choice for a male French Poodle and a great way to pay tribute to the history of the country!
Niles: Sweet, smart, and affectionate, this Poodle is an important part of his family and never turns down a good snuggle on the couch.
Mirabella: Italian for “wonderful,” this is an excellent way to let your girl pooch know how you feel about her. This could easily be shortened to Bella, meaning “beautiful.”
Rigby: This Poodle has a good deal of energy, and even more curly fur! He loves to join his companions for a romp in the woods or a long walk on a nice, cool evening.
Valentino: Beyond charming, there isn’t a family member or friend that can turn this pup down, and he gladly accepts all their love and affection.
