• Paris Dog Names: From the Papillon Court Dog to Coco and Belle

  Paris is a dog-naming city in the courtly-cultural key. Its genuine court-dog anchor is the Papillon -- the erect-eared Continental Toy Spaniel of 16th-18th-century French Rococo court portraiture (the drop-eared variety is the Phalene), FCI Standard #77 with France among its patron countries. Its institutions are the Cimetiere des Chiens d'Asnieres (1899, one of the world's oldest public pet cemeteries -- site of the romanticized Barry St Bernard monument and Rin Tin Tin's burial) and the Societe Centrale Canine (Paris, 1881); its narrative anchor is Belle et Sebastien (Cecile Aubry, 1965, set in the French Alps, not Paris). The register routes through the court-dog pool (Papillon, Antoinette, Marie, Marquis), the Belle et Sebastien pool (Belle, Sebastien, Sebastian), the fashion pool (Coco, Chanel, Bijou, Fifi, Gigi, Mimi, Cherie), the arts-and-letters pool (Monet, Hugo, Colette, Cosette, Napoleon, Josephine, Amelie, Odette, Pierre, Jacques), and the gastronomy pool (Brie, Champagne, Margaux, Madeleine).
