Can I use the same T names for male and female Poodles?
Many T-names work for both genders: Teddy, Tucker, Theo, Timber, Tango, and Toby are unisex. However, some lean feminine (Tilly, Tasha, Trinity, Tulip) or masculine (Titan, Trigger). Choose based on your poodle's personality rather than strict gender rules.
