We’ve heard some pretty interesting and funny pet names over the years. Some of my personal favorite names I’ve heard are Hagrid (West Highland Terrier) and Scylla and Charybdis (giant schnauzers) and Pickle (kitten) and Marzipan (sugar glider).
I know personally when I name a pet the name has to ‘come’ to me. I can’t pre-name a pet before I get to know it. It has to fit the pet and their personality. If you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time you know of our cat, Bob and the story on how we got him. It took us SIX WEEKS to come up with that name; Bob. Bob Cat.
So what exactly are the most popular names we’ve come across for both dogs and cats?
Dogs:
- Tied in First Place are Bailey and Bella
- Charlie
- Chloe
- Lucy
- Maggie
- Max
- Rosie
Cats:
- Tied in First Place are Sam/Sammy and Lily/Lilly
- Bella
- Callie

- Zoe/Zoey
It was interesting to see how the popularity of names has changed (or not) compared to the last time I looked at it in 2014. You can see those results here.
So tell us, is your pet’s name among the most popular?
