Introduction

Choosing your new companion’s name can sometimes seem daunting, with too many possible choices available to pick from. Some people may decide to narrow down their choices by sticking with a name that ends a certain way, such as ending with the letters "fi". This may be done to honor either a human or canine family member, to match the naming scheme of other pets or people in the household, or it could be due to the dog’s responsiveness to the sound. There are many names that end in "fi" and several words ending with the letters that could be utilized as a name as well.

Jofi

For many people, Fifi is the first name that pops into their head when coming up with names that end with "fi". It has been used in children’s songs and graced the pages of many books. There was a Fifi mentioned in Lady and the Tramp, Minnie Mouse’s dog was named Fifi, and Fifi was also the name of the love of Snoopy’s life in the comic strip by Charles Schultz. A different dog with a name ending with "fi" made a much larger impact on both human and canine society; Jofi, a Chow that shared her life with Dr. Sigmund Freud, is considered by many to be the world’s first therapy dog.

Freud did not grow up with dogs and it wasn’t until he was in his mid-70s that he was given two Chow Chow pups, one of which, Jofi, he became especially attached to. Originally, Dr. Freud brought Jofi into his office, as his canine companion brought him comfort during the sessions, but it wasn’t long before she began to help him assess the emotional state of his patients and helping to comfort them as well as the doctor. Freud observed that his patients, who were facing away from the doctor during psychoanalysis, were better able to process and express their emotions when Jofi sat near them, and if the patient was overly anxious or stressed, Jofi would sit as far away as possible; occasionally, when a patient was particularly overcome with emotion, Jofi would even jump up on the couch to comfort them. In addition to her innate ability to read a person’s emotional state, she also possessed an excellent sense of time and it was said that at exactly fifty minutes after a session would start, she would get up and go to the door, signaling the end of the session. She continued to attend the doctor’s sessions with his patients until her death in 1937. Freud’s daughter Anna later acquired a Chow that she named Jofi II in honor of her father’s companion, and in the London home that has been turned into a museum, home movies of the family and their dogs play on a loop in one of the guest bedrooms. While Freud never chose to psychoanalyze his dogs, instead preferring to see them as straightforward, honest, and obvious, his inclusion of Jofi in his sessions and his notes regarding her interaction with his patients certainly made an impact on the field of Animal Assisted Therapy.

Dog Name Ending in 'fi' Considerations

There are many important factors to take into consideration when choosing exactly the right name for your new canine companion, including your particular pooch’s appearance and personality, as well as your own preferences . Those individuals who have chosen to pick their dog's name from names that end in the letters "fi" still have quite a few options to choose from when pinpointing exactly the right name for their specific pup. Your canine’s physical appearance may have an influence on your choice, so that a large, stately dog may end up with the name Gylfi while a thin dog may be dubbed Narfi. A dog that sports dark skin or a dark coat may be named Duffi or a dog with a yellow coat may be named Daffi. Names such as Kafi, Lutfi, or Wafi may refer to the dog’s overall personality and temperament where names like Sci-Fi, Wi-Fi, and Semper-Fi may be more related to the personality and preferences of the namer. Other names may refer to your specific canine's favorite activities, meaning that your water-loving dog may be dubbed Motoscafi, but Adolfi may be more appropriate if your dog prefers to make colorful paintings, or Zuffi for the dog that refuses to give up the soccer ball.
