I read recently a review of the most popular dog names by State.
This was an article on US News dated November 6th. It showed the names for our dogs in the U.S. in a table:
The article also reported that dogs and puppies were living in more than half of the nation’s households. That is one heck of a lot of dogs and it just shows how great dogs are as companions to us humans.
Then the article went on to declare the most popular dog name by State, and there was another graphic:
So much for the names of our three remaining dogs: Brandy; Cleopatra; Oliver.


Lovely to know so many pet lovers out there Paul xx

Dear Sue, so, so many but the names are not what we expected. Then it really does not make any difference so long as they are all loved!

I have to admit I did not expect Bella to be the most popular dog name. Daisy I knew was popular. Other than Daisy the dog names we chose were less common, Baylor, Baby, (Le) Bronco (von der Löwenhöhle), Ryu, Daisy, Rollo, and further back in time Yehoun, and our niece’s dogs Oslo and Jack. I read there are 900 million dogs in the world and 76,811,305 dogs in the US (American Veterinary Medical Association).

Jackie, I assume that the records of the AKC are different to those of the AVMA; is that correct?
