In honor of National Puppy Day which is celebrated on March 23rd, Camp Bow Wow has again published their Annual List of top dog names.
The list is based on the nation’s top doggy day care’s database of nearly 400,000 four-legged “Campers.”
The top dog name remains the same for the second year in a row and the second and third most popular.
The list:
Compared to Last Year
Rounding out the Top 10, in order, are:
- Daisy, Lucy, Cooper, Max, Bailey, Milo and Sadie.
- This year, Daisy surged to fourth, up from seventh last year, while Cooper dropped two spots to sixth.
Regionally, the majority of East Coast, West Coast and Central states, including Texas, favored Luna, while much of the South, including Florida, favored Bella. In fact, only seven states had a top name that wasn’t Luna or Bella. Lucy was the top name in Iowa and Mississippi, while Charlie was No. 1 in Utah. Buddy won in Oklahoma, Teddy dominated in Nebraska, Sadie prevailed in Rhode Island, and Daisy ruled in Illinois.
About naming a puppy
According to Camp Bow Wow’s Animal Health and Behavioral Expert, it is important to choose a dog’s name carefully, as it will be used for training purposes and will have a significant effect on the dog’s life. Short names are helpful for getting your dog’s attention. A good rule of thumb is to stick to two syllables and avoid names that could sound like commands.
Camp Bow Wow offers a variety of training, health and safety tips for new pet parents in honor of National Puppy Day.
