Featured Famous Dog with a Latin Music Name

Lulu

Among all the stars in Latin music, it is easy to see that no one loves dogs quite as much as Gloria Estefan. This singer, songwriter, and actress has a beloved array of canine companions that she loves to share with the world. While these family dogs might not have names based on Latin music, they certainly have the bold personalities required of the pets of a worldwide Latin music superstar. These dogs, both big and small, appear frequently on Estefan’s social media accounts and have grown quite the following themselves.

Estefan’s Chihuahua Lulu plays a prominent role in many Instagram snapshots as the sassy sidekick of the singer. Often found in the kitchen squinting toward the camera, this cutie is full of pizazz. Even on her wedding day (yes, that’s right, Lulu got married!) she was a sight to behold in her white satin gown. Whether it’s posing with her mama or simply being her natural self, this little lady has a lot of spunk and she’s certainly not afraid to show it. Another of Estefan’s pooches, and arguably the most well-known, is her bulldog, Noelle. After receiving an unfortunate prognosis as a puppy, Noelle defied all odds by overcoming health obstacles that veterinarians thought were insurmountable. Now she is the star of Estefan’s picture book series about a resilient Bulldog pup titled The Magically Mysterious Adventures of Noelle the Bulldog. Noelle’s is another face that is common on Estefan’s Instagram account, and her charming brown eyes and wrinkly, charismatic face are charming additions to the extended canine family.

Gloria has also welcomed adorable hybrid breeds into her home that are totally awe-worthy. Among them are her dogs Bowser and Bobo. Bowser is a Beabull - a cross between an English Bulldog and a Beagle - and Bobo is part Cockapoo and part Chihuahua. Bowser shows his curious and mischievous sides in pictures on Instagram and Twitter, while Bobo remains more mellow and laid back. Together, all of these dogs show the many sides of Gloria Estefan’s family and, more generally, the spirit of Latin music. Sass, spirit, curiosity, and inspiration are all brought to light by the precious pooches and their mama who loves to share them with the world.

Latin Music Dog Name Considerations

When considering whether or not to give your dog a name that is based in Latin music, there is really only one question: do you love Latin music? If the answer is yes, then there is no doubt your perfect pooch is going to love his Latin music name. After all, it’s something you love almost as much as him! Regardless of your dog’s size, a Latin name is perfect for any pup with a little spunk, attitude, and pizazz. Energetic dogs with something to prove make excellent candidates for one of these spirit-packed names. Latin music, like all music worldwide, is dynamic. For Latin music themed names, dogs should have big personalities that reflect this dynamism! Fun-loving, energetic pooches with happy go-lucky attitudes match this theme.

However, maybe your dog is a little moody. Maybe he likes to spend his time staring out the window daydreaming. This is another disposition that can work with a Latin music name. After all, for every love song there is also a song about a broken heart. A dog that has a habit of being a little more mellow would be the perfect fit for the softer side of Latin music.
