Popular Dog Name Lists
You can find lists of popular dog names in about the same places that you can find lists of popular baby names. This means that the number one place to go for lists of dog names is the Web. You can find plenty of sites for popular dog names by going to your favorite search engine and typing in "Popular dog names" and clicking on the different links that come up. If you want a little more direction, try the following links to get a look at three different sites offering lists of popular dog names.
Dog Names--This website is probably the best site for finding popular dog names. There are several reasons why this web site is superior to the rest. The main reason is the sheer volume of available names. You can search through a database of over 6000 popular names. Of course, when you get 6000 options, all called "popular" it sheds some confusion about the definition of "popular" but it still offers more suggestions than any other web site. What's more is that at dog-names.us you can search for either girl or boy names from almost twenty different categories. Categories include things like appearance, personality, historical names, and sports figures. Clicking on any name, or typing a name into the "search for a name" field will open a page with facts about that name. Some pages have more facts than others but most at least include the meaning of the name (if the name has a meaning). This is a great feature because when you decide that you like the name "Felix" you can click to find out that the name is Spanish for "happy". This description might or might not fit your dog.
Favorite Puppy Names –this website also offers lists of names and links to lists of names. This site isn't set up quite as nicely as the previous site and lists of names might be a little elusive. Using the site definitely requires some surfing skills as links lead you to "sister links" assuring that everyone gets a "click" when you visit the page. One straightforward list that the site offers is found by clicking the "popular dog names" link. This list is a collection of the top thirty most popular names for both boy and girl dogs.
Reading through these two lists will give you a pretty good idea for the names that are currently popular. It might surprise you to find out that well over half of the list features names that are also popular human names. Names like Molly, Missy, Emma, and Katie are on the girl name list and names like Max, Jake, Jack, and Sam are on the boy name list. This web site also offers some links to advice for things like how to name your dog and what makes for a good (or a bad) dog name.
Bow Wow–this sight is straightforward in offering lists of popular names. For example, right from the home page you can ask for the top 60 popular names for girl and boy dogs in the United States. There is at least one option that other sites don't have and that is popular names by the month. For example, popular names during December of 2006 included the names Carol, Dasher, Kringle, Noel, and Snowball. Looking through the popular names by month, you might come across some popular names that you won't see on other lists because they are specific to a time of year. This site also offers some useful naming tips (for instance, pick a name that your dog can recognize) and a photo gallery that will appeal to animal lovers.
