The whole world loves cute girl dog names, and some pups really lend themselves to Mexican and Spanish names. Oooh Mami, these little Chihuahua puppies love Hispanic nicknames. Of course, Argentine Dogos and Chilean Terriers are also Latin lovers, but there are lots of nicknames that work for boy and girl mutts or Gringo dogs, too.
No matter how ugly, how tired, how sad, or how rumpled a person feels, a dog will still love her human. Hey, once a man or woman has had a dog, it’s really hard to go back to a dogless life. Kids grow up. Spouses come and go. But, a pup will always be there with a lick and a snuggle.
Names for Puppies
Well, it only seems right to give a Chihuahua Mexican dog a name like Maria Teresa Yolanda Ascencion Dolores, but the little puppy would never learn it. Dog experts say that it’s best to give a pup a one or two syllable name with a vowel sound at the end. Some examples are Yogi, Lulu, and Missy. Dogs have an easier time learning simple words with simple sounds.
