Chihuahua Names Redux

I was reviewing some older posts and ran across my original Chihuahua Names article. In my evaluation, I found it kind boring, so I am going to try and give more information on coming up with names for chihuahuas.

The breed itself is very unique. Chihuahuas are small dogs, with a very stubborn and saucy disposition. Like all dogs, each is an individual and has his/her own personality. When trying to come up with chihuahua names, you might want to base that name on the personality of your dog.

Other people base their chihuahua names on the physical appearance of the dog. We used this approach for both of our dogs. We have a black chihuahua and a smaller white chihuahua. We chose unconventional chihuahua names for them both, based on their physical appearance. It took us about a week or two to come up with the right chihuahua names, but, the names fit both dogs.

Having been around this breed for a long time, I find it funny that people go nuts trying to find the perfect chihuahua dog names. It seems like the easy part is finding the dog, the hard part is naming it. I have to admit, people have found some wonderful chihuahua names. Some dogs are named after Mexico or Mexican dishes. Some chihuahua names are for "big dogs", other are "little dogs".

Below is a small sampling of chihuahua names that I have run across either in person or on the Internet.
