Female Star Wars Dog Names
Leia is a favorite, but there are plenty more names in the galaxy for the new princess in your pack. Browse these Star Wars dog names for female pups.
| Aalya Secura | A Twi-lek Jedi Master who turned Jedi General, Aalya is a pilot and a blue-skinned beauty. Try this name on a Bluetick Coonhound or a Kerry Blue Terrier. |
| Adi Gallia | This skilled Jedi took part in the Clone Wars and displayed great wisdom in mentoring young Padawans. |
| Amilyn Holdo | As a friend of Leia and a fellow freedom fighter, naming a strong and dignified dog after this character would do her proud. |
| Ahsoka Tano | Another Jedi fighter in the Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano never bowed down to the Galactic Empire. |
| Asajj Ventress | This character has changed sides more times than we can count. Born a Nightsister, she’s been everything from a slave to an assassin to a Jedi. A good choice for a dog with a mercurial personality. |
| Auura Sing | A bounty hunter with the trademark pale skin of the Palliduvin species, this name would work well for dogs with white fur. |
| Beru | Otherwise known as Aunt Beru, this fine lady helped to raise Luke Skywalker in his home world of Tatooine. |
| Bo-Katan Kryze | It’s a little bit of a mouthful, but a good contender nonetheless! Bo-Katan was a Mandalorian of royal descent, so it’s a suitable name for dogs of magnificent lineage, like a Pharaoh Hound. |
| Captain Phasma | Now here’s a lady who doesn’t mess around! An elite Stormtrooper commander and a real contender for the title “Queen of the Dark Side,” you can name a hard and strong dog after this badass. |
| Cere Junda | This former Jedi Knight helped to rebuild the Jedi Order. |
| Chelli Lona Aphra | If you are a fan of Darth Vader, naming your dog after this character would be an obscure reference that not everyone at the dog park would recognize. Chelli worked as Darth Vader’s personal spy. |
| Enfys Nest | Sometimes a pirate and sometimes working as a rebel, this character’s name rolls nicely off the tongue. Her face was full of adorable freckles, so name an English Springer Spaniel after her! (They have freckles on their noses, too.) |
| Fennec Shand | She’s an assassin and bounty hunter, but she’s got a great name! “Fennec” sounds like a name of Gaelic origin, so try it for an Irish Setter, Irish Terrier, or even more appropriately, an Irish Wolfhound. |
| Hera Syndulla | An OG rebel pilot from the planet Ryloth, and, as a bonus, the namesake of the Greek goddess Hera. Name any of the most ancient dog breeds after her and you’re all set! |
| Iden Versio | A commander of a special forces squad of stormtroopers, this elite warrior changed sides and ended up becoming a leader of the rebellion. |
| Jannah | Enslaved at an early age and forced to be a First Order Stormtrooper, Jannah escapes to join the Rebellion. A brave and bold breed, like the Doberman, would wear this name with pride. |
| Jyn Erso | Raised by Saw Gerrara when she became orphaned, Jyn leads the team that steals the plans to the Death Star, so she’s an uber overachiever and downright amazing, just like a Border Collie! |
| Mallatobuck | Everyone knows Chewbacca, right? But did you know he had a wife? Yep, so if you end up with two Wookie-like fur babies, name them after an adorable couple! |
| Maz Canada | One of the most lovable, and mysterious, characters created, Maz is over a thousand years old and seems to know more than she lets on. Since she’s portrayed in puppet form as a wizened old woman, it might be fun to name a Pug or any of the wrinkly-faced breeds after her! |
| Mon Mothma | She was the Chancellor of the New Republic. If your dog displays calmness, like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, choose this one as an homage to a truly great lady! |
| Nightsister Merrin | Enigmatic Merrin is tough to pin down, but she’s got control over the Dark Side while sometimes helping the Rebellion. If you have pooch whose coat reminds you of the hues of the night sky, try this one on for size. |
| Padme Amidala | Padme was the mother of not only Luke but Leia, too! A suitable namesake for a beautiful and royal dog, such as a Saluki. |
| Peli Molto | A great name for a spunky, silly dog because Peli is known for her comedic relief. She’s a human, and an engineer working on Tatooine. |
| Princess Leia (Leia Amidala Skywalker Organa Solo) | One of the most inspiring princesses to ever grace the screen, Leia is a beautiful name befitting a Saluki or any other beautiful and regal pup. |
| Reva Sevander | Reva went through a lot, and witnessed more carnage than any young Padawan should. She was always out for revenge, but Obi Wan Kenobi mentored her and got going in another direction. Maybe a good name for your reformed rescue pup? |
| Rey | As a truly amazing Jedi who didn’t quite realize how much power she had, Rey was a key figure in the rebellion. |
| Rose Tico | One of the more unsung heroes of the resistance, this scrappy gal’s name would be appropriate for a small, friendly, and loyal dog like a Cairn Terrier. |
| Sabine Wren | A Mandalorian warrior and artist, Sabine served on a crew that included Hera. |
| Shaak-Ti | An appropriate namesake for any canine who’s reliable and trustworthy. Shaak-Ti was a Togruta Jedi Master during the Clone Wars. |
| Shmi Skywalker | Shmi was the mother of Anakin Skywalker (the future Darth Vader) and although she had a tragic end, it would still be a pretty name for your best gal. |
| Trilla Suduri | This character is a creepy torturer, but it’s still a cool name, and just obscure enough to start a good convo at the dog park with fellow fans! |
| Yaddle | A female of the same species as Yoda and Grogu, Yaddle’s life is cut short by Count Dooku. |

In 1977, Han Solo was every teenage girl’s fantasy man. Name any daring and funny dog after the pilot of the Millenium Falcon. |

|
Wicket |
Wicket was the clever and adorable fuzzy-wuzzy Ewok who helped the rebels battle the Imperial Troops on Endor in “The Empire Strikes Back.” If your pup also looks like an adorable stuffed animal, it’s a perfect fit! |
