When purchasing a four-legged friend, the dog owner first of all thinks about his name, and rightly so. Moreover, Chihuahua dogs do not treat pets easily; they are a member of the family, so you must approach the choice of name very responsibly.
What to name a pet Chihuahua
Of course, such a dog deserves the most beautiful and sonorous or extraordinary name, like himself.
Sometimes breeders already give nicknames to the entire litter or have strict requirements for them (for example, they must begin with a specific letter, contain the name of the nursery), but often these names remain only on paper. In everyday life, owners use shorter and easier-to-pronounce versions.
Of course, you can’t call these pets Bobik and Tuzik. Such names do not fit too well with the noble appearance and high self-esteem of the Chihuahua. And we must remember that the nickname will accompany the dog all his life, sometimes loudly heard on the street. Therefore, try to choose a decent option for this small dog with a big heart.
Cool and funny nicknames
The funny is different from the funny. A little humor in a pet's name won't hurt, because a little creature behaving like an adult big dog will always cause a good-natured smile. The main thing is not to cross the line into an offensive nickname. Here are some options:
- For boys: Driver;
- Funtik;
- Shustrik;
- Cupcake;
- Smurf;
- Bourgeois.
- Pop music;
Perhaps a cool nickname will be attached to the pet after some funny situation happened to it.
My friends named their Chihuahua Bandit after she had problems with one eye as a child, and for some time she kept it half-closed. The dog grew up, but the nickname remained, only it turned into a more neutral version - Bundy. By the way, the sweetest creature never showed inclinations in accordance with its name.
My name is Ponytail (home nickname), and so is Samuel Sunbeam :)

I noticed a strange trend, or it just seems to me. For some reason, the boys are called very menacingly: we have friends Chikhi Ferdinand, Tyson, Harley, Don Juan and the coolest name PALKAN (and his nickname is lined with rhinestones on his collar) I wonder why? Can you imagine Kora, you call Palkan, Palkan on the street, and Chikhulya comes running? People are shocked
