Q: What are Some Good Names For A Dachshund?
I am getting a dachshund puppy, and I was thinking of Ella for a girl and Alex for a boy. Please comment on these two dog names and add your suggestions.
Please, nothing like Mr.Wiener or Hotdog.

I fell in love with a dachshund once at a pet store (I know, bad, I didn't buy her) and I would have named her Daisy.
Penelope is cute too!
I do like Ella and Alex is ok, a little common and humanly.
How about Peanut for a boy.
If we had to name our dog again her's would be Dinky, but that's 1 1/2 years after owning her. My best advice would be to wait and pick a name when you take her/him home.
Name them based on who they are. Plus most of the time you will probably end up using a nickname anyway just like we do with our sig others and kids.
Good luck and enjoy you puppy when/if you get one.
Answer by cecielscott
I prefer pet names that have two syllables. my Chi-Dachsund mix (female) — Abby my Chi-Pug mix (female) — Bindi my torti cat (female) — Shelly …(for tortoise shell)
All of my pets are from animal shelters. I had to come up with the name for Abby; Bindi was originally called Bambi; Shelly's name was Nermal (from Garfield or something).
Answer by LuvKyle
Ok, it depends what color it is. if it is black I like: Shadow or Shadoe. If it is brown: Harley or Buzz for a boy or Katie or Lia for a girl.
Or I like Woody and Payton for boys and Kella and Freya for girls. Hope you like my choices!! :)

Seems a bit strange giving it such a human name.
I like Stretch or Slink for a dachshund. Met a puppy today called Fudge, thought that was a good name.

For a girl: ginger
For a boy:Jammer or Moose

Ella doesn’t really go well with a dachshund. Im getting a black cocker spaniel female and Im naming her Ella. Here are some other suggestions:
Leslie
Lindsey
Nicole
Kiki
Ginger
Cinnamon
Gypsy
Amanda
Cris
Jesse
Hanna.
I was stuck between Gypsy and Ella for my puppy. But I decided on Ella it’s really pretty but for a dachshund…It doesnt go well.
Natalie B says
I love the name Ella sooooo much!!! Alex is nice, but I don't love it.

my mom and dad have one now and they named it precious. I grew up with them and we had one named little bit and footser…
Walther Fan says
Ella and Alex are both excellent. 2 syllables is about the maximum to use every day. Personally, I like German names for Dachshunds, because, well, they're German. I named mine Schnitzel, but I also favor literary names. I think it's cute, and different than what most people do. Just a suggestion.

caregrl says
get one from a rescue or pound it saves a life.. name it chance if its a boy because you saved its life
4million dogs everyyear are killed because they dont have homes. thats just in shelters.
22000 are greyhounds are killed because they are too slow to race every year.
8000dogs starve to death every year because people dont care enough to feed them.
thats just the dogs we know about.
