103 Comments

we all have a cute and funny chihuahua names that we have given to our chihuahua that came about to describe something that is unique or characteristic of them.

teaka the famous chihuahua has several humorous and cute nicknames that are descriptive of her unique and quirky personality.  here are some examples:

“mussillu” – a family favorite. pronounced “moo see loo”. italian for “little snout” because her little nose is one of her cutest features. you can see it well in her ‘teaka gets a bath’ video above!

“bella” – italian for “beautiful” because she is beautiful with a shiny and healthy fur coat!

“pupillu” or “puparella” – nana’s favorite. pronounced ‘poo pee loo’ and ‘poo pa rella’. italian for a little doll, like one might make reference to a little child.

“trouble” – teaka can be quite mischievous at times so we might say to her when she enters a room, “oh look. here comes trouble …”

“killer” – a neighborhood favorite. when teaka goes for a walk she likes to let people know she is boss with her ‘big’ bark.

“the mexican” – teaka is actually from mexico so it just makes sense! (no pun intended!).

“mooch” – pretty self explanatory. she just happens to appear whenever you have food.

“little brown” – we call teaka this because she looks like a little racehorse when she runs, just like “big brown”, the horse that won the 2008 kentucky derby.

“little girl” – mommy’s favorite, because that’s exactly what she is, my sweet little girl.

selecting chihuahua puppy names for your chihuahua can be loads of fun especially when the entire family gets involved.

    I have 2 females, “BAMBI” & “PEEKABOO”! Bambi looks just like a little deer & Peekaboo likes to hide!!!

  • We call our chihuahua ‘Baby Geams’ (pronounced ‘jeams’, like jeans with an ‘m’). I am only 20 and when we got our chihuahua I told my mom she was her g-ma, because grandma sounded too old for my mom, and ever since then my mom has decided that she is the Geams, and that our puppy is the Baby Geams.

    🙂

    Weird, but cute.

  • I have two eight month old chis, they are brother and sister. My little girl is a blue coat and her name is Bella because we are all Italian. My nicknames for her are Butt Up Bella because she always backs her butt up to your face, Mommies’ Monkey because she sits on my shoulder like a little monkey, and Rat Girl because she has a little hunch in her back. My boys’ name is Boss, named after Bruce Springsteen. I call him Baby Boy cause he’s my baby. His middle name is Frederick, that’s Bruce Springsteens’ middle name. He is black. And Bellas middle name is Blue because she is a blue coat.
