What are the most popular names for dogs?


Search: most popular dog names

Why: At the dog park, it sounded like every other dog was named either Bella (like Chandler's dog) or Maddie (like my cat).

Answer: There are several different lists, but according to 1 study, Bella is #2 for female dogs, and Maddie is #49! The Top 20 for dudes and ladies are:
  1. Max / Molly
  2. Buddy / Bella
  3. Jake / Lucy
  4. Bailey / Maggie
  5. Rocky / Daisy
  6. Charlie / Sadie
  7. Jack / Chloe
  8. Toby / Sophie
  9. Cody / Bailey
  10. Buster / Zoe
  11. Duke / Lola
  12. Cooper / Abby
  13. Harley / Ginger
  14. Riley / Roxy
  15. Bear / Gracie
  16. Murphy / Coco
  17. Lucky / Sasha
  18. Tucker / Angel
  19. Sam / Lily
  20. Oliver / Princess

The More You Know: Bella was #12 on the list in 2005. It was the 208th most popular name for human girls in 2005, but now it is #18. Coincidence???

    Ugh, I hate people who try to cover-up that they got the idea for "Bella" from Twilight. The same thing goes for Friends and Sex and the City and everything else that inspires naming. It's cool that that's your inspiration, just don't try to hide it. "Oh I always wanted to name my baby Bella from since I was 10," pffttt, yeah right.
