We love ’em, our dogs.  And when it comes to naming them, we want it to be a fitting one.  Just like naming children, eh?

Daisy and Buddy are the Most Popular Canine Names of this Year…

“Daisy and Buddy are the top dog names of 2020,” according to My Dog’s Name (mydogsname.com), a leading website for finding the perfect name for a new dog.  Their data revealed the following:

> Daisy is the top female dog name of 2020, taking away the number one spot from Bella for the first time in 10 years.

> Buddy skyrocketed to first place for male dog names.

> Dog name searches increased by 33% from March to June as dog adoption surged due to the pandemic.

Top Dog Names“With people spending more time at home, many have found that they’re finally in a position to get a dog,” explained Jessi Larson, co-founder of My Dog’s Name in a recent news release.

“Our site had 1.2 million more users search for names for a new dog during that time period compared to 2019.  This correlates with shelters reporting unprecedented demand.”

And the 2020 Top Dog Names are…
