Pet Names

July 2, 2022

Did you know that Max was the most used male name for dogs in 2021? We like to see fun and funny names that people make for their pets. As it turns out, some recent studies have revealed some interesting statistics on pet names. The local vet offers some attractions below.

Top Dog

As mentioned above, Max is the number one male name for pooches. Other high scores include Buddy, Rocky, Charlie, Milo, Bear, Leo and Teddy. Of the girls, Bella was number one, followed by Luna, Lily, Lola, Lucy, Daizy, Zoe, Baila and Stella.

For our cat friends, the top female names were Lily, Lucy, Luna, Bella, Nala and Kitty. For boys, Milo, Charlie, Oliver, Leo, Max and Simba are the best choice.

Medieval Pets

Edward, Duke of York, compiled a list of 1100 hunting dog names. Some, such Troy, Whitefoot, as Sturdy, Hardy and Bo, are no longer visible today. Then there are Clenche, Bragge, Nosewise, Amiable and Filthe, who might be able to raise their eyebrows!

For our cat friends? We all know that Fluffy has led people for thousands of years. Most kittens in medieval England were named Gilbert. Across the English Channel, cats often respond to TIberas or Tibertas. Names Binisaya Binisaya.

Celebrity Pet Names

The trend of naming pets after famous people may not disappear anytime soon! The names Taylor and Taylor Swift declined in popularity in 2021. Pets named Jennifer Lopez, Aretha Franklin and A-Rod appeared on the list for the first time, along with the first cat, Doja Cat. And even though we’ve seen kittens named Oprah for a long time, it’s worth remembering that these numbers have increased in the last year.

Historic Pets

The evil Anne Boleyn has a dog named Purkoy, which is the French translation of ‘pour quoi’, which means ‘Why?’ means. One of the oldest records of a pet’s name is a record of a knight from the 14th century who had a dog named Parceval!

Choose a Name

Choosing the right name for your pet can be very difficult. Sometimes you can find the perfect name to find that it doesn’t fit your furry friend. Baby name makers can be helpful, but you can also try to find word translations that remind you of your pet’s personality, history, or appearance.
