VPI's website also publishes the 16th through 30th popular

This list was compiled from a survey of more than 30,000
of VPI's policyholders. Dr. Aine McCarthy, VPI Director of
Veterinary Marketing, believes that this year's top pet names
speak to a promising trend in the pet world. "Human names
for pets are very common these days, because more and more
people consider their pets as family members," she explained.
"This is a wonderful indication that the human/animal bond
is stronger than ever."
