Finding the perfect name for your Dachshund

While we’ve played into their sausage-shaped nature to draw inspiration for our list of dog names, you can take inspiration from almost anywhere! If you’re still struggling to choose the perfect moniker, here are some handy pointers to get those dog-naming juices flowing: 

Your pup's breed: dog breeds can be a great source of naming inspiration. Dachshunds, for example, are known for their playful, affectionate, and (despite their tiny stature!), courageous nature. So why not choose a name that pays homage to their brave personality or playfulness? Think of names like Scout, Mischief, or Ace.

TV, films, and books: you don’t need to stick exclusively to dog names, either. Take inspiration from a much-loved TV show or movie character, or name your pup after your favourite literary hero or heroine. Personally, we love the idea of a Dachshund named Mr. Darcy or Archie Andrews! 

Your pup’s character: are they active and playful? Or chilled and easy-going? Your pup's personality can be a great indicator as to what you should name them. For example, does a name like ‘Typhoon’ or 'Rocket' really fit the image of a couch-potato canine who prefers snoozing over squirrel chasing? Questionable...

What’s popular: Sometimes, things are popular for very good reason! Just like baby naming books, you can find lists of the most popular dog names around. After all, if it works for tens of thousands of other pups, why shouldn’t it work for your sweet new pooch?
