We all have been there. Brainstorming and spending countless hours and lots of thought into coming up with the perfect name for our new dog or puppy…
…because we know that the name we choose for our new dog or puppy speaks volumes about our own personality, taste, insights, wit and/or sense of humor.
For instance, if you've ever heard a woman calling for her dog at the dog park saying, “Bella, over here Bella!”, she maybe a fellow Twilight fanatic just like you and maybe the beginning of a conversation and a lifelong friendship… all because of the name she chose for her dog!
It does take a lot of time and thought in naming our new furry friend, but it's also a fun and important task for every dog parent.
According to data from Veterinary Pet Insurance, the largest pet insurance company, Max and Bella remain at the top of the 100 most popular dog names.
Whether you end up naming your dog something quirky or opt for a classic, your dog’s name is an integral part of their personality. From Angus to Ziggy and everything in between, Rover.com dug into their database to discover the most popular dog names in America—and stumbled across some surprising trends along the way.
Move on to the next page to see if your unique dog name made the cut!
