Learn how to stop 34 of the most common dog and puppy behavioral issues using this powerful hands-off method.
When coming up with this
Chihuahua dog names page, we decided to offer name ideas that we felt best
reflected the temperament of this breed, which is often referred to as “the
little dog with the big dog attitude”.
Any Chihuahua owner will know what we mean.
And what better way to do this than to offer a listing of unique and funny names that sound smallish as well as biggish. Smallish ideas like Crouton or Pee Wee, or biggish name ideas like Barbarian, or even Moose.
This arrangement, a departure from the general
listing of canine names, breaks potential “handles” into the physical size and
the dog’s image of itself: its mental size and attitude. These groups of less
common Chihuahua dog names can help you locate the one which will fit your pup.
Smallish Sounding Ideas...
Ant: This small-sounding suggestion is the term used for a small type of insect which is, in fact, one of the busiest little creatures on earth. Choose this funny name for the energy of your little lady or boy Chihuahua to show his or her big energy combined with small size.
Elf:
This mythical creature is tiny in size and creates magic in many ways. From
stories of our younger years, it is easy to identify this funny Chihuahua dog name with your
pixie-sized masculine pooch.
Dash: This cute name has three
different meanings, all of which suit a small pal. It is a small symbol used
between words, also a tiny amount to be added to a food, as in a “dash of
salt”, and a rapid movement, as in “dashed out the door”. As you can easily
see, this term reflects the speed with which your small Chihuahua can move along
with its combined small body.
Dinky:
Carefree and lively this Chihuahua is the sporty type. Always dressing up
fancy, this pooch isn't afraid to tell you no, and when this Chihuahua says no,
it means it!
*Somewhat similar funny ideas: Tiny, Shorty, Short Cake
Electron: A small part of an
atom, this amazingly small object has vast energy which can be released in
various scientific ways. This can be a wonderful name for either boy or girl
Chihuahua.
*Somewhat similar funny ideas: Proton, Neutron
Minnie: Cute and cuddly this adorable pooch loves to be carried everywhere. This Chihuahua has a reputation for being noisy and bossy, especially when she is left alone.
Pixie: Another tiny mythical creature, this is the feminine term for an elfin female. Pixies sprinkle stardust and other important fairy-tale tasks just as your little lady will sprinkle joy throughout your life.

snowflakes which comprise the avalanche are tiny which helps reflect the small
body your pooch’s big spirit is held within.

word meaning a large person, usually a well-trained man, capable of controlling
crowds in nightclubs and stopping fights easily, this funny Chihuahua moniker will clearly sow
your mini-pooch thinks he is a really huge element in the neighborhood.
