Dog owners love two pet names — helping them hold onto their status as the most popular in the United States.
The Idaho Statesman reports that according to results published Tuesday, Dec. 3, Charlie ranks No. 1 for male dogs while Luna is the favorite for female pups.
Charlie clinched “the top spot for the second year in a row after dethroning longtime frontrunner, Max, in 2023.”
According to the pet resource website Rover.com, “Luna remains the number one most popular name for female dogs and cats for the second consecutive year.”
Which other dog names rank among the most common?
Max and Bella at No. 2
Milo and Daisy at No. 3
Cooper and Lucy at No. 4
Buddy and Lily at No. 5
To create the list, Rover said it examined millions of pet names that owners shared online.
The website studied which names appeared most often to determine the nation’s favorites.
