I’ll post a picture of the sweet little thing later, but for the record, it is a fawn colored miniature dachshund. Female. She’s so cute with her puppy-and-a-half long and half-a-puppy tall self!
I was thinking about something maybe German sounding?
Ideas?
Schnitzel as in weiner schnitzel 
Gretel!
Ooh! ooh! Take a picture of her next to :eek: :eek: so we have some scale of her length!
Just don’t name him John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
That’s my name. 
Khadaji, no problem. I wouldn’t dream of being a copycat. That’s also the reason I can’t use Schnitzel. I already know a weiner dog named Schnitzel.
I do like Gretel, though. As for the pictures, WhyNot, I’ll get right on that, but I’m going to try not to traumatize the poor thing. 
I have a mini-mini dox- she’s about 8 1/2 lbs. The kids let me pick her name from the three choices the suggested. The choices were “Brownie” “Amber” and “Petal”.
I went with “Brownie The Wonder Dog”!
Gretel is a big contender, right now, as well as a couple of submission from outside sources: Freya and Merriweather.
Stonebow wants to name her Stella. 
Since no one else has, I’ll be the one to recommend “Thor,” or “Max.” Dachshunds love situational irony.
Miniature dauchsand? I think you need something ironic, like the German word for enormous.
Sausage.
I suggest a namee with two vowel sounds. Dogs really respond well to these names.
Examples:
Sascha (my dog’s name)
Mischa
Chloe
Mocha
Bringau Chirdead
Alms For The Poor
Wheramai
In short, you want something that sounds good when you have to walk around the neighborhood calling out for your pooch when she gets loose.
I suppose this should be a consideration. It’s just proving to be difficult to find a cool name for a female puppy. If it were a little male dog, I would totally name him Cthulu, and call him Lou. We thought about Blitzen, but that seems masculine.
I’ve searched for Dachshund names on google. Lots of Strudel and Gretchen. Nothing that really speaks to me, yet.
Perhaps this website will give you some inspiration,
How about “18-inch Jelly Dog”
Smaug!
So that when you have to find her, or she chews something up, or makes a mess on the carpet, or any other undesired behavior, he can go around yelling “Stella! Stella!”
If she turns out to be badly behaved (and let’s hope not) how about Teufelhund? Or for that matter, take any English now you can think of that fits, translate it into German, and stick “hund” after it.
How about Eva?
That’s my name, too!
Honestly, people, I can’t believe no one beat me to that.
As for names:
Judge
Phil
Larry
Buster
Ralph
Since she’s fawn-colored, I’ll suggest Rehkalb, the German word for “fawn” (it literally translates as “roe deer calf”). As a bonus, it sounds kind of like the name “Rachel”.
FTR, it’s actually against the law to NOT name a dachshaund some kind of hilarious name relating to either it’s size, or it’s resemblance to tubed meat products.
