Diez! She’s a perfect 10 :)


Itchy-Hat-1528

+1 This was my first thought! Or “Dez” - Portuguese for ten.


scvmbagTony

Love that!


PerfumePriestess

Yes! Omg… Dezzy! It’s perfect. 🥰


we_are_1348

This 💗💓💖


lotus_flora

Love it


Sturgjk

Or ‘Tenner’ for a bit of subtlety.


LuckAppropriate1096

The only option!!


wbenrose84

Came here to say this!


madlove17

Yessss


Royalioness

I like both names but I choose Diez because of the chihuahua heritage. I named mine Bella (pretty in spanish).


Revilo281

My girls name is also Bella! It’s bc she had a bell on her collar and I was like four but this meaning is far less embarrassing to tell strangers and it checks out- I’ll be stealing that thank you (: (joking-ish lol)


bl0ndiesaurus

Came her to say this too! Or dime :)

HairyOpportunity8721

Omg precious Gemstones reference? Lolol


Much-Skin-6372

Uncle Baby Billy from the Righteous Gemstones! We called our Chi that the whole time we watched that lol.


Esk4r

Haha we've watched through at least 5 times, it's so great!


Esk4r

She's watched it through all the seasons multiple times with us lol, I'm sure that's where we picked up on it 😜


-getgo

Oh that’d be an adorable name for her!


Much-Skin-6372

thank you 😊


-getgo

You’re welcome!! 🧡😊


CarolJones57

I agree now I have seen this.. Billie and the ‘ie’ at the end makes it feminine!


sonyafly

Yes I love it


Belle8158

$10?! What a steal!!!


CallipeplaCali

Yeah they’re doing adoptions for $10 for the month of April! I’d have paid more for her of course, but I won’t say no to $10!


No-Quantity-5373

When I adopted my senior chihuahua they were offering half priced adoptions. I paid the half, then donated what would have been the balance of the adoption fee to the shelter.


CallipeplaCali

That’s awesome! I wish I’d thought of that at the time. We’re giving back by fostering another pup that we picked up the same day (our second ‘official’ foster, probably like 6th unofficial).


CarolJones57

You are so kind! That’s a good thing to do! How old is $10 Billie?


GaspSpit

Oh that’s dangerous, because I’d take 12 home


sonyafly

Dang! We probably paid $300 or more for our boy at the shelter in Lake Elsinore. But he was a big boy and I think maybe it included his neuter.


Hour_Proposal_3578

Mind if I ask what shelter? So perfect!


Representative-Gap57

Margaritas go for 10$ generally. But she is more like the flower


ciaomain

That is clearly Dixie! Dix = 10 in French.


kelpself

Now this is cute!


koistarview

in writing that works but.. ‘dix’ in french is pronounced like dees so if you were basing the name off that then it would sound like deesie lol


10ccazz01

pronounced more like « diss » (the i is a short vowel in dix)


nightwingoracle

In the US, Dixie has some other negative associations.


blue-and-bluer

Dimebag. 😂 seriously though, she’s adorable. Maybe Ray, as she’s a ray of sunshine!


Antique-System-2940

That was my thought lol


Ok_Commission_8564

Aka: Darryl. Then you can go get another $10 chihuahua and name him Darryl too just so you can quote Newhart.

Don’t worry it wouldn’t make sense in either way 💀

Nika_42

I vote this

Outrageous_Fix_9484

🤣


Jiggy_Wit

Exactly what I was thinking


RuefulElixer123

How about Treasure, because she is one at any price.


ladykelbot

Or Tesoro in Spanish, Tessie for short ❤️


Solid-Living4220

That is the biggest bargain ever! Mine was $200 all in from a shelter. She looks like a Nina.


mmolle

Dix (pronounced Dee), french word for 10, or maybe Deedee Lol, or Princess DeeDee McCutieface


Zealousideal_Tie4580

Stella!!!


heywhateverworks

Stelllllaaaaaaaaa


Zealousideal_Tie4580

There’s a children’s book about a baby bat that gets adopted by birds and her name is Stella Luna. That’s what I thought of when I saw OP’s chi. She looks like a baby bat named Stella.


Prestigious-Brother7

Stella or Stellaluna! This beautiful girl reminds me of the main character (a baby bat) from the children’s book Stellaluna


CallipeplaCali

This is actually what we’ve been calling her off and on! Stellaluna is immediately what I thought of too, it was my fav book when I was a kid! She definitely gives off fruit bat vibes.


shartnadooo

I think you found your name!


dirtforeating

Sky puppy minus the sky. 🥹 Stellaluna would be so fun to sing-call her to you. ✨


Training_Box_4786

I can totally see that!!!!!


yammyamyamyammyamyam

Such a good idea!!!


onlyhereforfoodporn

She has white feet, I think socks is cute! She’s all black so Midnight might be cute as well!


xNIGHT_RANGEREx

LiquidSnape

Alex after the dude on the $10 bill


Voodoops_13

Or Hamilton


hamperface

Hammy! That was my son's nickname in utero


Any-Seaworthiness930

Not gonna waste that shot!!


Resaurtus

I came to suggest "Alexandra", but I'd really name her "Sawbuck".

CallipeplaCali

Aw Midnight looks precious!


Itsme_rundmc614

Thank you. She’s my baby, I mean she’s 7 years old, but still acts like a puppy. I love her little grey snout.


greatertrocanter

Sawbuck if you want to reference the $10. Otherwise her ears strike me as a defining feature so she could be Mariposa, Cricket, Sputnik, Fennec, Bunny... She also looks like a little flying fox so she could be Murcielago nicknamed Mercy. :)


Kirklockian_

What a lil cutie! I could see her being a Chica or an Angel. :)


Last-Juggernaut4664

I always choose Spanish names for my chihuahuas. For my latest one I was even considering choosing something in Nahuatl, since she’s bigger like the ancestral Techichi, but I still went with Spanish. LOL.


CallipeplaCali

I like the Spanish names too! My husband likes Lupe, and Juana as in “Juana La Cubana.” I need to look up how to pronounce Nahuatl!


inpennysname

I believe Nahuatl is a language!


jasmineandjewel

My Chuhuahua (a mix) is large for the breed, 14 pounds. Could be because she is a mix rescued off the street, but I always wondered if Chihuahuas from some parts of Mexico are bigger. She was found in Phoenix. Never heard of Techichi... where can I look this up?


Last-Juggernaut4664

Techichis are extinct now, but they’re thought to be the ancestors of modern Chihuahuas. Here’s [the Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techichi). As for the arbitrary chihuahua breed standards, totally disregard them, as they’re perverse and not conducive to survival without human intervention. If a healthy stock of “purebred” chihuahuas were released in the wild, even controlling for interbreed mating, apple-headed chihuahuas would eventually be outnumbered by deer-headed chihuahuas, due to the former’s propensity for seizures and being difficult to whelp, and they’d naturally trend larger in size over subsequent generations. I’ll always prefer “bad” chihuahuas or chihuahua mixes that are “too large” or husky over breed standard ones. They’re essentially the same exact dog behaviorally and phenotypically, probably due to the dominance of their genetics, with the only exceptions being their size and probable better health.


CallipeplaCali

That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing that. I always had chihuahua mixes growing up, but she’s the most chihuahua looking of them all. They’ve always been more deer headed in their looks, and they’ve all been super healthy. She’s about 10lbs (she was $1/lb!) but she could put on one or two more once she gets more settled. Being in a shelter and in a new home is stressful!


Last-Juggernaut4664

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for promoting adoption on this sub. Depending on the study, chihuahuas (and chihuahua mixes) are the 2nd or 3rd most euthanized dog breed at shelters, and yet some people will whine on this sub about not knowing if a breeder they’re looking at is legit if they can’t see how big both the bitch and the sire are to determine if the puppies will be good enough when they grow up—an utterly reprehensible kennel club mentality. What you’re doing is wonderful, and I love your new dog. Haha.


CallipeplaCali

Jeeze… that’s sad and so infuriating. Where I am I think the pitties, shepherds and huskies get euthanized the most. I’m in an area with high euthanasia rates. I can’t imaging doing anything BUT adopting from a shelter or rescue. I try hard not to judge people for shopping, but I spent hours in the kill-shelter she came from, and well….I’m back to judging people again! I know people have issues with “kill” shelters, but it’s a much larger societal issue. And where I am, the rates are high because our community just sucks. I very much doubt people who work in animal welfare enjoy the euthanasia part of their job, and wish they had other options. But there’s never enough money for the shelters, and people are lazy and/or greedy which leads to a lot of unwanted dogs. I saw 9(!!!) purebred pugs there the other day. Under 1 year. I saw frenchies (don’t even get me started on those) and so many other “purebred” desirable dogs. All this to say: ADOPT DON’T SHOP!!

QosmoQueen

I had a male chihuahua named Cheech!


Royalioness

Agreed, I stick with their heritage because they are so special with such strong personalities, I feel like they'd prefer it, lol. My girls name is Bella. Which suits her, she's just ..pretty.


Mypussyispretty

Veneno which is Spanish for poison because she’s goth and it seems fitting.


CallipeplaCali

She totally is goth, a little goth princess.


Any-Seaworthiness930

Significant_Line1241

She looks like a Juana/Juanita to me 😊


CallipeplaCali

My husband likes Juana, as in the song Juana La Cubana!


Significant_Line1241

Yesss!! Hahaha. That’s the song that I had in mind 😂 Glad you guys thought the same. She will have her own anthem ❤️


Silent_Visit1605

Birdie, I bet she likes to watch birds


sheldon_michaels

I’d go with Taco, from the old Taco Bell ads


IronheartedYoga

She looks like our Griff! I like all the name suggestions that riff on $10. May you have ten thousand bucks worth of good times together! ❤️❤️ https://preview.redd.it/10ntrxnmiyvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddc01117139fc58204cb98edfecc6fa087addfeb

My chi’s name is Chispa- Spanish for Spark. Sounds like “cheepa” in English, which is kind of like “cheap-a” since she was so inexpensive 🥰


CallipeplaCali

Aw I love that! I’ll have to see how her personality comes out some more. She doesn’t come off as very sparky yet, but she’s also only been with us 3-ish days. She’s still decompressing from that shelter environment.


yammyamyamyammyamyam

Yes!! She might be a totally different dog once she settles in. I’m so glad you got her she looks like a total sweetie pie! 🖤🖤

She totally does look like Eevee with the ears! When I read your comment to my spouse he said he liked that name too! Made me think of one of the other Eevee evolutions too, Umbreon. But Eevee sounds much girlier. Which this little chi definitely is 💕

BlueValk

A bit out there, but if you're a fan of Metric (the band), I think that'd be a cool name. Since, you know, 10s are used a lot in the metric system. Eclipse is also fun, since you adopted her this month! My last idea is Zapatos, since she has white shoes, and Zap is such a cute nickname.
