Looking for the best Bichon Frise names? Never fear, we’re here for you. Choosing the perfect name for your Bichon Frise pup should be high on your list of priorities when you get a new dog.

Have a favorite musician? Literary character? Song? TV show? Creative projects we relate to can help us name our pets. Is your dog’s color something you could name him after? I mean, that white fur is so soft and cute! What about historical figures or real people? Maybe someone you admire can inspire your pet’s name. Your dog’s size, personality, or other qualities might make great names. Just remember that naming your dog tells people about you as well as your dog. Their names reflect your self image. But it can be a way of showing off your creativity, too.

Christina D says
(I hope this edited comment makes it to publication! Sorry for the other ones!) I LOVE the unshaved Bichon with a more natural coat, like the one shown after searching “Bichon Frise names.” And, while I have this opportunity, please allow me this FYI: Do you see the Bichon right AFTER the first puppy after clicking “Bichon Frise Names” — the one with the dark marks under its eyes? My brother’s dog had those dark marks so he started making food for her himself, using human-quality ingredients, and his dog’s under-eye dark marks completely disappeared, leaving behind a fluffy white face and bright eyes! He and I worked on the recipe a good while, adding one large capsule of EFAs (essential fatty acids, specifically just one EPA/DHA capsule from Life Extension), high quality Brewer’s Yeast, brown rice and good quality chicken and vegetables (those okay for dogs), etc., along with just one of the “Two Per Day” multivitamin/mineral capsule from Life Extension (made for humans) — all of which went in to her multi-meal preparation. In no time at all her fur got thicker, softer, and whiter. She went from being a totally timid and paranoid little animal to one that is animated and happy, leaping on her walks after butterflies, etc. — it was a miracle! And, most noticeable: no more dark wet marks under her eyes — just a pretty white face! (Meaning: Nutrition is everything!) Anyway, all that said, thank you for the fabulous list of dog names — the most comprehensive I have ever seen!

Lisa says
I am wondering do Bichons bark a lot?
5 says
No
Norma says
I’ve heard yes. I just got one, so I hope not.
Julie says
I have one and yes he does ever time I say some to him he talks back to me by barking !!!!
Bruce says
Our Bichon really only barked at meal time. We found a dish at the local pet store that had ridges about an inch high. You put the food in between the ridges. Wet food works best. Took her a long time to lick that bowl clean due to ridges. And because it was wet food, she would eat it every time!
Marianne Bailey says
I’ve had some unique/cool pet names over the years that I don’t see here. Might be an inspiration for someone.

*Puglet (a pug)
*Cosmo

All of these are no longer here, but they all lived long and happy lived!
