French Bulldog Dog Name Considerations

There are lots of things to consider when naming your Frenchie.  You may want a traditional French name, like Celine, or you may seek inspiration from its country of origin and consider names like Paris or Versailles.  Another consideration might be color as the French Bulldog is available in a range of colors.  Suitable names like Frosty for the white canine, Sandy for the cream, or Biscuit for the fawn colored coat may be considered or chosen.  The Frenchie is quite a small dog, so you might pick a name in the spirit of its size.  Names like Tiny, Peanut or Mini are popular. The Frenchie loves attention so names like Lamour, Sweetie, and Honey are affectionate pet names to consider for your pooch.    

A name is very important, in fact, it’s a huge responsibility to choose a forever name for your pooch.  Take some inspiration from our name lists below and write down a few of your favorite.  Why not shout them out to your Frenchie and see which one sparks an interest with this intelligent breed?  You could also discuss them with your family and friends to see what they think too.  Take your time and don’t rush!
