You'll see I've had a peek in my European dictionaries for inspiration. There are French, Italian and Spanish words here all of which would make unique dog names.

If you have a new dog in your life then make sure you choose a name to be proud of. It will be with them for a long time to come.

The photos on these dog name pages are all of dogs we've met on our local walks in southern England.

Let's begin the page with a picture of our very own black dog, Jessie - not one of the names from this page but certainly a name from our female dog names page.
