Want the best girl dog names that start with E? Explore this great list from Ella to Everly today!
Alright, so the other week we finally got our new puppy, a little girl, full of beans already. Problem was, she didn't have a name. And for some reason, my wife was dead set on it starting with an 'E'. Don't know why, maybe she read it somewhere, or it's a family thing. Anyway, 'E' it was.

So my first brilliant move was just shouting random 'E' words. "Eggplant! Elbow! Engine!" Yeah, that didn't last long. The pup just looked at me funny. Okay, plan B. I figured, like everyone else, I'd just look it up online.
My Search Kinda Went Like This
I grabbed my phone, plopped on the couch, and started typing stuff like "girl dog names starting with E". Man, the number of lists that popped up. It was crazy. Pages and pages of 'E' names. Some were okay, some were just... weird. Who names their dog Eucharist? Seriously.
I started scrolling. Endless scrolling. Saw the usual suspects like Ella, Emma, Emily. Nice names, sure, but felt kinda plain, you know? Like every other dog at the park might have the same name. I wanted something a little different, but not too out there.
I jotted a few down that caught my eye:
- Echo: Kinda cool, short, easy to yell.
- Ember: Liked the sound of this one, felt warm.
- Elsie: A bit old-fashioned maybe, but cute.
- Eska: Saw this one, sounded kinda neat, maybe a bit unique?
- Everly: This one sounded pretty, but maybe a bit long?
So I had this little list. We spent the next day or two basically just trying them out on the pup. Saying them out loud, seeing how they felt. "Echo, come here!" "Ember, wanna treat?" The puppy, of course, didn't care. She just wanted the treat.
Landing on the One
It's funny how you settle on one. We kept coming back to Ember. It wasn't too common, wasn't too weird. Just felt right for her, especially with her reddish-brown spots. So, Ember it is. Took a bit of digging and trying things out, but we got there.
Honestly, naming a dog is harder than you think. So many choices! But yeah, that was my little adventure into the world of 'E' names for girl dogs. Glad it's sorted!
