Most Popular Dog Names for 2005

Tuesday, January 03, 2006

Every year Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) pours through its list of policy holders and publishes its list of most popular dog names.

Actually, I had published last year's list as well (for 2004).

So, I decided to pull the old list out, and compare it with 2005, to see how they lined up.

Interestingly, "Bailey" shows up on the 2005 top ten list for both male and female dogs. Does this mean it's the "Pat" of the dog world?

We have a dog whose name shows up on one of these lists, Max. We didn't give him that name. He apparently had that name with his previous owners, so we kept it that. Our other dog is "Mia". I think we ended up giving her that name after our great-niece, Maleah, whom many of us call "Mia" for short.

Our next door neighbor has two female dogs, a poodle and shih-tzu, named Sadie and Molly respectively. Both names appear on the top ten list.

Our other next door neighbor has a golden retriever named Buddy, another top ten finalist.

Of course, my favorite pet name of all time is "Killer". That's what our cat was named when I was a kid. My brother and I came up with it. I remember during feeding time, my mom would open up the back door and yell out, "Killer!, Killer!".

  • I don't have the guts to do it myself, but I always liked the name of Pink's dog F**ker. She said she named him that just so she could shout "Hey F**ker! Here f**ker!"

  • We just acquired a precious female puppy whose name is Bailey!!!

    Where do I go to get tips on potty training her? She will go outside when we remember to put her out there. However, she does not signal to us at all and still has accidents~~she is about 16 weeks old. Thanks!
