The chihuahua is a small breed of dog from Mexico that is one of the smallest breeds in the world. Despite its tiny size, the breed is full of character and makes an ideal companion for almost any owner. Choosing your dog’s name is important because you will likely be using it many times a day for the next 16 years or so.
How to Choose a Name For Your Chihuahua When it comes to choosing chihuahua dog names, there are many places you can seek inspiration. It is common to name a chihuahua for its size, seriously or ironically, while some favor giving this breed the Mexican name deserving of its heritage. Alternatively, you can name yours according to its color, its lineage, or because of your love of 1960s beatnik fashion designers. Below are more than 150 names to give you inspiration or to help you find the ideal name for your little Mexican bean.

Brown Chihuahua Dog Names Image Credit: Svitlana Sandberg, Shutterstock Along with the fawn-colored dog that most of us recognize as being the chihuahua, the breed can often be seen in brown. This usually means a darker brown combined with the light brown, and because the dark brown stands out as being unusual, it gives you a good opportunity to find an appropriate name for your dog.

The black chihuahua is a popular coat color. Because the black coat color is a dominant gene, it is a common coat color in this breed, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. The color can vary from a deep, jet black, to a more subtle almost charcoal gray color, and you can base the name of your dog on the color of its coat.

White Chihuahua Dog Names Image Credit: Manuela Federspiel, Pixabay The white chihuahua is described as one of the most common colors but to find a truly white one, with lighter claws and lighter noise is much rarer. What’s more, a lot of people list dogs that have mixed colors as being white to claim that it is a rarer white than the standard fawn color. Some obvious examples of names for white dogs include Snowy, but there are many to choose from.

Final Thoughts Chihuahuas make great pets and while they may be tiny dogs, they are the epitome of having small dog syndrome. They think they’re as big as a Great Dane, which is why so many owners give them ironic names like Giant, and they think they are as loud as a Husky. Hopefully, the list above has helped you find the ideal name for your little companion.
