Chihuahuas are miniature, cheerful and good-natured dogs. When choosing a nickname for such a pet, you must remember that it should not only be original and unusual, what most owners strive for, but also to correspond to the main qualities of these dogs, emphasizing their best features.
How to choose?
Pedigree dogs with documents purchased from specialized nurseries already have names. Nicknames for them are chosen by the breeder in accordance with a number of rules established by canine associations. In Russia, the first letter of the puppy's nickname must correspond to the serial number of the litter, and reflect a certain theme (mythology, geography, etc.).
In addition, in Russian nurseries, the name of the dog from which they were born and the name of the nursery are often added to the name of the puppies. At exhibitions, the dog will perform under its official name, therefore, in order to maintain the image of the club, it must be unique and interesting. At the same time, compliance with all these rules makes nicknames for puppies difficult to pronounce and quite long.
The maximum length of a nickname is 40 characters, including spaces.
It is extremely inconvenient to use such a name in everyday life, so owners come up with other pet names for their pets, the choice of which is not regulated by strict rules and leaves room for imagination. You can name a Chihuahua in honor of your favorite movie character, actor or singer, or reflect the features of its exterior or character, or even your hobby, in the pet’s name.
The main thing is that the nickname is easy to pronounce, sonorous and liked by the dog’s owner. It is better to name your pet a short name consisting of 1 or 2 syllables - animals remember short words better and quickly begin to associate themselves with them. Also, in order for the puppy to remember his name faster, it is better to choose a variant that begins with the consonants B, D, Zh, R, Ch. Dogs remember names with vowels and consonants X, Sh, Shch, S less well.

The influence of a name on character
Of course, the character of a pet primarily depends on the breed and upbringing, but the chosen nickname also plays an important role in this. The name has a significant impact on the character and temperament of the dog. A certain set of sounds that a pet hears most often, starting from puppyhood, can contribute to the formation of a strong character and willpower of the animal or, conversely, make it softer and kinder.
Therefore, before choosing one name, many Chihuahua owners study many options, learn the history of the breed and the meaning of the names they like. According to a scientifically unconfirmed theory, the chosen nickname contains encoded information and a set of genetic phonemes that determine the character, behavior and even fate of the dog.

Breed Features
The Chihuahua is the tiniest dog in the world and one of the most popular breeds. People often choose it as a pet because it is easy to care for and train. They especially like to give such animals to children, since it would be extremely difficult for them to cope with a large animal.

People, rather, start it for their own pleasure, in order to constantly be in a good mood. A good mood is guaranteed to you! Nicknames for a Chihuahua girl, based on the characteristics of the breed, can be the following: Baby, Cutie, Princess, Knopa, Bead. You can carry your baby in your arms while walking. People around you will be delighted and will start giving compliments. You, too, will be the center of attention thanks to such a beautiful dog. Surround your puppy with care and attention.

Unusual names
Who doesn’t know the lioness Nala from the famous “The Lion King”? No one is stopping you from christening your favorite dog with it. People often prefer to give their pets original names: Lucy, Lizzie, Dolly, Leda, Adele, Cindy. Such a nickname will noticeably distinguish your pet in the yard and give it some advantages over the usual Bugs and Mankas.
Unusual names emphasize the owner’s original approach, his refined taste and desire to proudly demonstrate his individual position. If you call your beauty Lumba or Daisy, those around you will repeat the nickname for a long time, trying to remember it better.
What should you not call it?
Although the choice of name for a Chihuahua seems limitless, there are some names or categories of words that should be avoided:

- The names of dead or lost pets - such nicknames contain negative information reminiscent of the loss.
- Russian-language human names - when calling a pet on the street, an awkward situation can arise.
- Offensive, obscene words - in addition to the obvious incorrectness of such a name, it can provoke a negative reaction from others, religious words and terms.
- Words that have a clearly negative connotation, names of villains, tyrants.
- You should also not call Chihuahuas by oriental names: they are beautiful, but not suitable for representatives of this breed.
