Choosing a Good Puppy Name
Size
It’s easy to look through a list of male or female names, but you can narrow down your choices by picking something that helps describe your dog. Many people like referencing the size of their Yorkie. Names like Teacup, Chip, Bug, Baby, and Minnie are popular Yorkshire Terrier names as they suit the small breed. These names also work well for Yorkie puppies, although remember that your dog will grow.
Activity
For male Yorkies, consider naming them after their favorite activity. Yorkshire Terriers were originally ratters for miner’s grain mills, so names like Archer, Bullet, Bolt, and Hunter are excellent choices for active Yorkies.
Cute Names
When choosing female Yorkie names, opt for cute options like Angel, Binky, Tootsie, and Star. Baby Doll and Buttons are particularly sweet for the long-haired Yorkshire Terrier variety.
Food
Consider naming your Yorkie after different foods depending on their color, resemblance, or favorite food. Ideas include Brownie, Apple, Cocoa, Biscuit, Cookie, and Pumpkin.
Opposites
Have fun with naming your pet by choosing opposites. Give your lovable Yorkie a fierce name like Killer, Beast, Fang, or Abomination for a playful contrast.
