Unusual Female Dog Names
Uncommon Names For Uncommon Ladies
Why choose a “plain Jane” name when there are many unusual female dog names from which to select? You likely have known a dozen female dogs named Lady or Princess. While those are great words to call a pooch, they are so often used that there may be three four legged ladies on your block with the same name.
While unusual choices abound, it’s wise to be slightly cautious. Say the name you are considering several times and see if it makes you think of another word, rhymes with a derogatory word, or when spoken quickly sounds like a different word. After all, you want your own lady to be proud of the name your select for her, and since she’ll hear that selection thousands of times in her life, taking the time to choose wisely will help avoid a mid-life name change down the line.
