You've been saying names out loud for days, haven't you? In the car, while you're cooking, just quietly to yourself to see how they feel. That's not overthinking. That's already being completely in love with someone you haven't even met yet.
The week before a puppy comes home has its own particular kind of magic. You've cleared a little corner for her. There's probably already a toy you absolutely didn't need but bought anyway. And somewhere between the excitement and the are we actually ready for this, you keep coming back to the same question: what are we going to call her?

Then somewhere in that first week the name stuck, the little routines crept in, and one morning it just felt like she'd always been here. That's what the right name does. It quietly turns a brand new puppy into your puppy.
Scroll through the full list below and save every name that makes you smile. Your shortlist is almost always where she's hiding. ♡
