We have just rescued a little Chihuahua gal from a shelter, and we need a name that fits her spunk and size. She is super sweet and cuddly, she loves kids, and she dances She is kind of a blonde/fawn color.
A few ideas we’ve tossed around without landing on anything that feels quite right:
[name_f]Flower[/name_f] (her current name from the shelter)
[name_f]Fairy[/name_f] (for her size, and because we have a house full of little girls)
[name_f]Chiquita[/name_f] (for nickname potential: [name_f]Chicky[/name_f], Cheeky, etc)
We also thought something Christmasy could possibly be fun.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband jokingly suggested Asterisk because it’s small but mighty
I’ve read a ton of Internet name lists for small dogs, and can’t find anything I love. I’m apparently super picky
Suggestions welcomed!
Maybe:
Iota
[name_m]Rory[/name_m]
[name_f]Bambi[/name_f]
[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Tawny[/name_f] (like the lion)
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Piper[/name_f]
[name_f]Ember[/name_f]
[name_f]Demi[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Fairy[/name_f] is quite sweet.
Maybe [name_f]Flora[/name_f] as a nod to [name_f]Flower[/name_f]? [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_f]Petal[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_f]Bloom[/name_f].
I randomly have always thought Periwinkle would adorable for a tiny dog. Same with [name_m]Pip[/name_m] (Pippa, Piper) and [name_f]Lilou[/name_f].
