Chihuahua Name Trends

It’s pretty clear that the Chihuahua’s miniature size has a big impact on the names that are chosen for them. In our list of top names, you see plenty of names like Tiny, Gizmo, and Pixie—with Peanut and Chico (meaning small in Spanish) in the top ten. Though this isn’t necessarily a new trend, it’s one that keeps right on going (and is always appropriate).

We also see a big influx of posh, vintage-inspired names—you know, the ones that make you think of your Great Aunt, or the gentleman at the end of the bar sipping his Manhattan. These include monikers like Stella, Penelope, or Hazel for lady dogs, and Henry, Winston and Oliver for the boys.

And of course, food-inspired names for Chihuahuas are always a big hit. With Taco, Nacho, Chip, Bean, Nugget, and Brownie and more showing up in the top 100, it’s clear that this breed is associated with the good things in life.

Chihuahua Name Advice

If you’re having trouble deciding, keep in mind that great Chihuahua names can come from many different sources of inspiration, such as your favorite foods, books, celebrities, your heritage, or even dog breed history. For example, your puppy might sport a mythology name like Thor (ironically) or a color-themed moniker like Rusty.

Another consideration when choosing your Chihuahua name? Dog training. This is of particular importance for puppies. When you’re teaching your new dog to respond to commands like sit, stay, or come, you’ll want to be sure their name isn’t a source of confusion. In other words, avoid puppy names that sound like a common dog training cue, such as “Bit,” which could easily be misheard as “sit.”

Of course, what matters most is that the dog name you choose rolls off your tongue. The best Chihuahua names will make you happy. We’re fans of the “backdoor test” for dog name selection. It’s pretty much what it sounds like: stand at the back door and call out your new dog‘s potential name. Saying “Gigi, it’s time for dinner!” or “Yoda, leave it!” helps take the name out of your imagination and into reality.
