Our guide to the best french dog names

French culture is loved around the world, mostly for its distinct influence on art and fashion. So if you're a bit of a fashionista or you just want to make a statement, French dog names will have irresistable appeal.

Even if you're not about art or fashion, the French language just has a beautiful sense of romance to it that seems to make everything sound better. Giving your dog a French name allows you to hit that sweet spot between cute, fancy and a good dose of fun.

For female dogs, you can give a great ode to French fashion by naming your dog Coco or Chanel. If you want a more understated French name, we recommend Sylvie or Sophie, which are both laid-back names that work just as well for dogs as they do for people. For pups on the smaller side, you can run with Fifi which is a cute shortened form of the name Josephine.
