Girl Dog Names That Start With B

  1. Bethenny
    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Bethany, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "house of figs"
    • Description:

      Bethenny is the spelling introduced to the world by and closely associated with Real Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel. While the name has a bit of charm, we recommend sticking with the original Bethany spelling.
  2. Bechet
    • Origin:

      French surname
    • Description:

      Naming babies for personal heroes is the cool contemporary trend followed by Woody Allen when he honored New Orleans jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet in his daughter's name--adding the middle name Dumaine after a cornet player who was another of his musical heroes. Bechet has a nice, catchy Gallic feel.
  3. Bennington

      Name of pastoral Vermont town and college sounds too stiff and starchy.

    • Bravery
      • Origin:

        Virtue name
      • Description:

        Modern virtue names aren't always subtle, and Bravery definitely cuts to the chase. It's a bold choice—one your teenager might begrudge. Talisa Soto and Benjamin Bratt used it as a middle name, where it's a less risky than in the first name position.
    • Branch
      • Origin:

        Word name
      • Description:

        Branch is a novel unisex name with ties to nature and trees and also to branching out with new experiences and ideas. Branch can also be considered a surname name, as in country singer Michelle Branch. If you're looking for a tree name with more subtlety than Willow or Aspen, Branch is a great option.
