Top Dog Names
The Most Popular Chosen Among Owners


Dog King looking over his realm for top dog names

So what are the top dog names commonly given to such a beloved family member as one’s dog? Needless to say, Fido or Bowser thankfully didn’t make this list, but there are definite trends showing that people are favoring giving human titles to their furry friends.

We're not sure why this is, but if you choose to give your dog a human title, please be kind to your pal and call him or her after someone you’re fond of. Also, should you decide to call your pal after a living friend or relative, be sure you get their approval first…. Your pup might run around with excitement when he hears that Max is his new title, but Uncle Max might not.

As far as the list of the top 10 dog names goes, our crack team of webmasters have compiled all the name suggestions as well as the names owners have given their dogs already and offer you now…
