Girl Dog Names That Start With D

  1. Danna
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
    • Description:

      This Dana-Donna variation has started to carve out its own place on popularity lists; an interesting alternative to Daniella as a namesake for a relative named Daniel.
  2. Denisse
    • Origin:

      Variation of Denise, French from Greek
    • Meaning:

      "god of Nysa"
    • Description:

      Denisse was the fastest-rising name for girls of 2020 — influenced by Denisse Novoa, a contestant on the 2019 season of the popular reality TV show Exatlón Estados Unidos. Traditional spelling Denise also made a comeback. It looks to be short-lived, though: both spellings fell again in 2021.
