Fruit Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Fruit Inspired Name

Little P

Xiao Pi, nicknamed “Little P,” became an Internet sensation when we all bowed down to her as our tiny fruit queen! Her owner runs a fruit stall in Taiwan, and the pup fashion show is all a bit of gimmicky fun to help business flourish. It’s a brilliant branding idea. For those of you opposed to doggy wardrobes and worried about Little P strutting her stuff in such fantastic garb all day, no worries. Usually, Little P leads a very normal life. She hangs out with her owner and greets customers in her natural coat. However, on weekends, the furry creature gets dressed up for a few photos. Then it’s right back to her birthday suit or to her more casual, comfortable attire.

She wears a watermelon rind wig, as well as pretty crowns of both blueberries and lychees. Her nectarine bra has become quite a hit with the locals as well. She’s such a model, smiling for the camera and expressing a love for life and all things fruity! Sometimes, Little P dons a very simple outfit and poses beside fresh fruits and vegetables. She can sell anything, really. Items that passersby would normally look over become visible and appealing when Little P is around. If you didn’t want a watermelon before your shopping run, you want one the minute you see her among the green and hot pink fruits.

Whether in a hood, scarf, tie, apron, towel, or even a toga, Little P is definitely dressed to impress. She’s a little goddess in her nut-bead necklaces and her flower bows. She has kind eyes and a sweet smile, and we can only hope that she’s being rewarded with bits of sweet fruits every now and then. Little P is a nine-year-old Miniature Pinscher. The townspeople who frequent the market certainly know and love her and even newbies quickly learn who she is. How could we possibly pick a different fruity featured famous dog? Little P’s unique fashion statement can’t and shouldn’t be avoided. She works hard for the money! In truth, instead of having to stay at home all day while her owner is on the job, Little P is permitted in the marketplace and enjoys socializing with customers.

Follow Xiao Pi, aka Little P, on Facebook for daily highlights and fruit-selling tactics. She’s such a pro, and perhaps we can learn a thing or two about fashion and having fun from this adorable Pinscher.

Fruit Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Big bowls of fruit rest in the center of our counter tops and dining room tables. We use fruit for decorations and make beautiful salads and desserts using peaches, limes, raspberries, and kiwis, just to name a few. Many of us begin our day with a dose of healthy, delicious fruit. Perhaps it’s your go-to food, as your pet is your go-to confidant. So many comparisons may be drawn between your dog and fruits: they’re both sweet, tender, healthy for you, and overall, simply delightful. Consider choosing one of your favorite fruits for your new pup's or rescue’s name.

“Mango,” “Raisin,” “Persimmon,” “Kiwi,” “Fig,” and “Apricot” all sound like pretty natural titles for your fur baby. You might even try a more specific fruit name, though. Something like “Navel,” “Gala,” “McIntosh,” or “Seville,” is certainly fruit-inspired, just less overt with regard to those fruits perhaps. “Banana” could be the perfect tag for your Dachshund, while “Blackberry” could very well suit your Labrador. You might give your white Poodle the moniker “Coconut” or your constantly and humorously drooling buddy the name “Watermelon.” The fruity possibilities are endless. We hope our name guide helps you get started. Feel free to look for more ideas as you make your grocery list or shop in the market!
