Mini Dachshund Puppy Names – 300 Big Names For Your Little Dog

Last Updated on July 24, 2021 by Marco

Thinking of mini dachshund puppy names is as fun as looking after the dogs themselves. However, if you’re at a loss, here are our 300 big names for your little dog – hopefully you’ll find something that suits your pup.

Standard dachshund names are plenty of fun themselves but when you add the “mini dimension” to the question and you can get even more creative.

What Makes For Good Weenie Dog Names?

Names for dachshunds usually joke with the pups’ small size anyway but when talking about mini dachshunds things can get even more ridiculous. The quest for the right name can lead you to a lot of weird places but that’s all right – wieners are weird are strange dogs anyway.

The Different Ways To Pick Good Mini Dachshund Puppy Names

Depending on what approach you choose to take, you can arrive at a lot of different names. For example:

  • You can pick names that are outright synonymous with small things. This may be obvious but it’s also simple, clean, and funny.
  • You can go with a name that’s the exact opposite of small – giant, huge, titan, etc. This may sound mocking at first but it doesn’t need to be as long as you love your dachs.
  • Names that don’t really have anything to do with your dachs’ size. After all, size isn’t everything, right?

What Are Our 300 Suggestions For Mini Dachshund Puppy Names?

Instead of just dumping a whole jumbled-up list on your hands, let’s take a more systematic approach. To make it a bit easier, we thought we’d divide the different mini dachshund puppy names into several categories.

68 Small Names For Your Small Dog

The obvious choice is to go with a name that means “small” rather directly. Alternatively, the name can mean something that is relatively small, even if it’s not directly synonymous with a small size. This can feel a bit cliché-y but that doesn’t matter – your dog is unique anyway and you both know it.

64 In-Between Names For Your Small Dog
