Chihuahua Names

Chihuahua names are fitting for tiny dogs you can carry around in your hands, and so names that mean small or delicate would make good names for a Chihuahua. Named for a Mexican state and a national symbol of Mexico, Chihuahuas might also be given Mexican names— such as Bruno and Oscar — with either Spanish or Nahuatl origins.

Along with Bruno and Oscar, other popular Chihuahua names include Chico, Zeus, Peanut, Lola, Tank, Minnie, and Thor. Unique Mexican names for Chihuahuas include Paolo, Xochitl, Diego, and Blanca — particularly for a Chihuahua with white fur.

You might also play with your Chihuahua's small size by giving your dog a name that means big, such as Brutus. Remember, dogs respond best to two-syllable names, so you may need to choose a nickname for your pup as well.

Here are some ideas of good names for Chihuahuas.
