The list of the top 100 dog names in the U.S. for 2018 has recently been released by Rover.com, and although you may find some familiar names, there’s also a couple of dark horses! The list covers both male and female dogs, compiled by the company which acts as a network of pet sitters and dog walkers. They surveyed their database of more than 1 million dogs to determine the most current popular monikers.
This year, the top 10 male names include “Max,” (a repeat from the 2017 listing) “Charlie,” and “Cooper” in the top three, while female names such as “Bella,” “Lucy,” and “Luna” ranked similarly. Provided in their detailed listing, Rover.com identifies pop culture categories from which dog owners are drawing inspiration for the names which are starting to make solid appearances on their lists. The British royal family, superheroes and villains, television show characters, and music hit-makers from all genres have found their influences in this year’s list of popular dog names.
