When considering a name for your new Yorkie puppy, perhaps the season of Summer has all the inspiration you need! There are plenty of names to choose from for both male and female Yorkshire Terriers, and whether you prefer a relatively common name or prefer something unusual, you're sure to find something you like...

Let's start with the name of the season itself: Summer- a lovely name for a puppy with a sunny disposition! There are some wonderful names related to Summer, sunshine or the sun that you might want to consider:

Suvi- (French) 'Summer'
Xia- (Chinese) 'Summer'
Helia (Greek) 'The sun'
Eliana 'daughter of the sun'
Helen or Ellen 'sun ray, shining light'
Sunna (Icelandic) 'sunny'

Sol 'sun'
Solaris 'sun'

If none of the sun-related names appeal to you, why not take a look at the names related to the months of Summer? Now of course, these will depend on where you are in the world! For the purpose of this article, I will just explore the summer months of the Northern Hemisphere- if you reside in the Southern hemisphere, you'll just have to wait for my article on Winter-inspired names to explore the month names related to your Summer, or alternatively visit this article of Winter-Inspired Names for Yorkies.

The Northern hemisphere's summer months are of course June, July and August: each in itself is a delightful name, and you could also consider the following related names:

Juno- the Roman goddess of marriage and prosperity

Junius - this is a Latin name and means 'born in June'

Some feminine variations are Julia, Juliette, Juliet, Julie and Juliana
Augustus Caesar gave his name to the month of August: some great variations are Augusten, Augustine or Gus
While for people the feminine form 'Augusta' might bring on images of ageing Great Aunties, it may well be the perfect name for your female Yorkie!

What about the birthstones and birth-flowers of each Summer month? There are some lovely names to be found in these lists!

June: Birthstone is Pearl or Alexandrite, and flowers are Rose and Honeysuckle
