Most Popular Dog and Puppy Names of 2011
Male: Max Something about the name Max just resonates with male pets. It may surprise you to know, but the top male cat name for 2011 was also Max, apparently a strong, succinct name fit for a friendly doggie. With dogs it seems the stronger the better, so Rocky, Bear, and Duke are contenders yet again for the top spot, but you’ve also got your friendly and safe pal names such as Charlie, Jack, Cooper, and Duke. Bentley, well, that may just be the fanciest name you’ll find on this list. What’s really interesting is how none of these names are really from obvious pop culture references. No Scooby, no Old Dan. Not even any popular characters like Batman (Bruce) or Iron Man (Tony). And for that matter, neither Edward nor Jacob. The top male names may not be inspired, but at the very least they’re not worthy of a facepalm. Female: Bella While male dog names tend to be
stronger and more like a buddy, female dog names fall into the same stylings as the female cat names and rely on
softer, more reliable names, such as Daisy, Molly, Lola, Chloe, Sophie, Sadie, Maggie, and Lucy. Bailey is a nice
one, as you don’t tend to hear that as much, but Bella at the top may in fact be that Twilight reference we were
hoping to avoid as much as possible Naming Suggestions It doesn’t have to be a wasteland of clichés and dull names. There are still plenty of great literature references to be made in dog names, such as Frodo or Gandalf for your adventurous pooch, Yossarian for your active doggie, or Ignatius for your lazy mutt. Plus, nothing adds a bit of fun like attaching Sir to your dog’s name. Sir Buster gives him a bit of an edge over plain old Buster, or better yet, Sir Buster McWiggleston. Going a bit further gives personality over the standards. When you go out and adopt your new pooch this year, what will you be naming them? Will you go with something out of the ordinary, or will it be something safe and obvious? Whatever the case, make sure you’re happy with the name! You can’t start changing it later down the line!
