Featured Famous Dog with a Name that Starts with 'Il'

Ila

The lovely Ila is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever with gorgeous caramel colored fur and an adorable smile. Her tipped white feet and tail add an almost playful look to her luxurious coat and with fluffy, upright ears, this gal couldn't get any cuter. The Toller, a particular version of the Nova Scotia Retriever, is the smallest of them all and are known for their intelligent, alert, and energetic nature. Ila more than lives up to this description and absolutely loves life, putting her all into any activity that she may be involved in. At a little over 2 years old, Ila still has a lot of training to do, but she is eager to please and her quick wit will take her far.

Ila is our spotlight dog today, not only because she is adorable and bears an "Il" name, but also because she entered the spotlight by being part of the Fabulous with Eurotunnel shoot, Le Shuttle. Performing marvelously, Ila definitely made a name for herself when it comes to films that may need a doggie role. On top of this, Ila has a film that was set to be released in 2018 and has proven to remain calm (despite her high energy) for photo shoots and much more. This little firecracker of a dog is definitely no joke, and anyone who gets to interact with her will have a rather hard time saying goodbye! Ila loves children, other animals, people in general, and really has a desire to learn. These are all great qualities and really help the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breed to shine.

The name Ila has its origins set in France, and means from the island. Such a title could be perfect for a duck retrieving dog as islands are set in water, and in order to retrieve ducks, a dog must be a rather good swimmer. So, if you are someone that is lucky enough to own one of these gorgeous dogs, the name Ila could be perfect to consider if you want something with an interesting meaning, but that is also short and sweet. Even if you do not have a Nova Scotia Duck Retriever in particular, any retrieving dog, such as a Golden Retriever, could fit this name rather well. And for those who do not have a retrieving breed at all, this name can still work for you as well!

Dog Name That Starts with 'Il' Considerations

Names that start with "Il" should be considered by anyone who likes unusual spellings, interesting meanings, and rather out of the ordinary sounding monikers. A few of these names are quite familiar (for those who don't want something too crazy) such as Illinois and Illumi (short for Illumination). Both of these titles are interesting, but they are easily recognized and aren't too difficult to spell! If you are wanting to choose a name based on your likes, then these two examples might be great for those who come from Illinois (or if the dog came from there) or for those who love films by Illumination Entertainment (such as the "Despicable Me" series). No matter what reason you may want to choose an "Il" name, there is no doubt that really any dog can fit into the list. Size and breed type really won't cause any roadblocks when deciding on a moniker from this list, which is perfect for those who may want to stick with a name theme for their pets, but don't have the same breed of dog! The titles here come from all over the world and are each unique, so dive in and discover the perfect one.
