Introduction
The show brought 7 seasons of shenanigans to younger viewers in North America, so it's no surprise that some of you out there would like to honor the show by naming your next fur baby after someone, somewhere or something from New Girl.
New Girl Dog Names in Pop Culture
Jessica Day, the show's main character, has an on-again, off-again relationship with one of her roommates, Nick. In the last season, it looks like the pair has finally figured things out and are happily dating. To solidify their union, Jess looks into embarking on a noble act together - that of adopting a pupper. The pair set out on a mission to impress the adoption counselor, who Jess had previously scared off by coming across as smothering.
Cue Mario, who is white, rust, and cute all over. This small woofer's presence make Jess so excited she actually must exit the room to audibly scream, but she keeps it together so that the two can get through the interview process to qualify to keep Mario. Some unexpected events then ensue with friends of the couple and some poor timing on the counselor's part, causing the process to go south and the pooch to bolt out of there.
What was supposed to be a calm and composed appointment turns into a full-out chase to rescue Mario before harm catches him. Nick and Jess dash through neighborhoods to safeguard the wellbeing of their almost pet. Nick, at last, scoops up the fur-baby, their friends surround them, the scene crescendoes and Nick proposes to Jess. It's chaotic and cute, much like the tone of the show for its entirety.
Is it fitting that bringing a canine into their relationship coincided with declarations of love and happiness? We think so! But more importantly, hopefully, the oodles of fans of the show will become inspired by their favorite characters' method of adding a furry family member.
With more dogs in shelters than ever before, it is becoming so important to look at rescues before breeders whenever possible. If you have the right home and lifestyle to adopt a barky buddy, please head to your local shelter - or even source out breed-specific shelters online to learn more. And don't worry - the interview process is usually much less stressful than they make it out to be in the show! Most shelters are simply looking for any loving home whose owners are dedicated to doing the best they can for a pup with a "ruff" start.
New Girl Dog Name Considerations
You can pick your pup's name based on a number of factors. Some make their choice based on which characters they like best, hoping that some of the beloved traits of the fictional person will shine through in their pet.
Another option is to use your canine as the inspiration when picking their permanent title. Do they look like a Winston? Or do they give you more of a Cece vibe? By using either personality traits or physical features, you can match your fur-baby to their character counterpart and come up with a name that will bring a smile to any fan of the show.
