Sweet with a fashionable edge, Coco takes its inspiration from the cocoa bean and turns it into something chic for a girl dog. This Spanish linked, two syllable name feels cute and a touch fancy, like a small dog with a beautifully brushed coat and very definite opinions about where she sits.
It fits an owner who enjoys a little glamour in everyday life, and a poised girl who can go from playful to pampered without missing a single beat at all. That short note carries the whole idea of the name. People meeting it tend to guess the Spanish roots before they are told, because the sound gives it away. The cute shelf is where it lives in our collection, true to a feel that is gentle and small sounding, made for a dog who rules the sofa. Among the 36 names here that start with C, it is one of the easiest to picture on a real dog.
