Puppy Names


We like to keep you apprised of the most popular (and weirdest) dog names of this year and the list has officially been released. According to Vetstreet, who examined records of over 1.26 million puppies, the following are 2012’s most popular names for both male puppies and female puppies.(dog walking services nyc)


As mentioned by Vetstreet, it’s clear that pop culture plays a role in this! Specifically, the name Bella is ultra popular probably because of the tween sensation, Twilight. Others are traditional dog names that seem to suit our canine friends like Max, Molly, Cooper and Maggie.
