Just what are the Top Dog Names most commonly given to such a beloved family member as one’s pooch? Needless to say, Fido or Bowser thankfully didn’t make the list, but there are definite trends showing that people are favoring giving human names to their furry friends.I’m not sure why this is, but if you choose to give your pup a human name, please be kind to your pooch and name him or her after someone you’re fond of.
