The tendency toward human names for pets continues this year, with nearly every name on the top 10 dog names list doubling as a popular name for people. Of the nearly half a million pets insured by VPI, only 13 were named “Fido” and just 17 came running to the name “Spot,” which indicates a decrease in the popularity of traditional dog names. Though dog owners are rapidly adopting this trend, cat owners seem slightly more traditional, with the names “Tiger” and “Tigger” lingering on the top 10 cat names list.

“Charlie” remained in the top spot on the birds and exotic pets list, which consists of the most popular names for feathered friends, lizards, gerbils, rabbits, and other non canines and non felines. Several new names debuted on the top 10 birds and exotics list this year including: “Buddy,” “Angel,” “Daisy,” and “Coco.”
Do you think these names are too tame? Perhaps pooches named “Franco Furter” and “Ozzie Pawsbourne” are more your style. Click here to check out the top 10 weirdest names for dogs and cats.
