Great Names for Small Dogs

When picking dog for smaller breeds, you need to choose something that reflects all the charm, personality and good things that come in your small package. Many of the names here mean small, little, or tiny, or are diminutives that convey that message — such as Minnie and Dolly.

Along with Minnie and Dolly, other small dog names among the Top 100 names for dogs include Baby, Buddy, Lulu, Peanut, Archie, Benny, Trixie, and Teddy. Creative names for dogs with tiny meanings include Bitsy, Cosette, Lorcan, and Renny.

While Baby and Tiny are too obvious for some, there are plenty of more unusual names for small dogs. Here is a list of names you may want to consider for your tiny pooch.
