Beautiful Dog Names in Pop Culture
One of the most famous pooches named Beauty was a make-believe dog but still helped form the imaginations of millions of young girls. Beauty was owned by the fictional character and iconic doll Barbie. Beauty emerged as Barbie's beloved dog in 1978. She was a lovely Afghan Hound. Mattel Inc., the maker of everything Barbie, mass-produced the dog toy and it was well received by young girls who were avid Barbie doll fans.
The Beauty toy dog was very popular because it boasted lovely long hair that little girls could brush and groom. The toy came with a doggy bed, blanket, food bowl, brush, a straw hat with a flower, dog collar, leash, and best-in-show ribbons. The entire toy was very realistic looking and appealed to virtually every girl who loved Barbie. The dog featured posable legs so it could sit, stand and lay down which only added to its realism. Today, the furry dog toy has become a valued collector's item.
On March 9, 1959, the fashion doll Barbie made its debut. It became the ‘must-have’ doll for every little girl. It is estimated that Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls throughout the years. With Barbie’s popularity emerged the demand for a bevy of items such as clothing, cars, dollhouses, other doll friends, shoes, dollhouse furniture, horses, and, of course, pets. Every little girl wanted Barbie to have a pet dog that they could pretend to take for walks, groom, feed, bath, and love.
Barbie has always been known for her attractive features. She boasted stunning blonde hair, blue eyes, and a perfect figure. Such a pretty woman deserved a striking dog that was just as stunning as its famous owner. The Mattel company focused on an Afghan Hound with its silky flowing hair that was reminiscent of Barbie’s own perfect locks. They then searched for a name for Barbie’s beloved dog. What better name then Beauty? A beautiful dog for a beautiful doll. It was perfect and Beauty emerged as the pampered canine companion of Barbie.
Beauty, the Afghan Hound, inspired the imaginations of a generation of girls. It was one of the most desired toys for Christmas in 1978. Many girls sat on Santa’s lap asking for Beauty, Barbie’s pet Afghan dog, as their most desired present. From 1978 to 1979, Beauty ruled as a desirable toy. Throughout the years, many Barbie dogs have been created but Beauty remains the first and the most memorable.
Beautiful Dog Name Considerations
Many things might spur you to name your beloved dog something that boldly proclaims its beauty. Everybody likes beautiful things and dogs are definitely stunning animals so why not cater to their good looks by giving them a name to showcase their unique loveliness.
If you bestow a handle on your dog that screams beauty then everyone will probably step back and admire the animal. However, a name is also about attitude. Even if your dog is just a typical, run-of-the-mill mutt it can still have a name that sparks pride because physical beauty is only skin deep but a heart of gold in a loyal canine companion is something to provoke true pride in an owner’s heart.
When considering a name that portrays beauty you might want to think outside the box and remember that the world is full of languages and thoughts that inspire wonder and marvel. Those names may not be English but they are nonetheless beautiful even in a foreign language. Also, giving your pooch a foreign name instantly brings the exotic to mind and many people will do a double take when they learn your dog’s unusual foreign moniker. Friends and family will probably ask you questions about the name’s meaning.
