Most Popular Puppy and Kitten Names of 2013

Hello Berries, I know some of us worry that their favourite name has gone to the dogs (literally). Since we often treat our canine and feline companions as family members, many of our pets are given human names. Personally, I like many of these names so unless I know one with the name, I don’t care if my faves are chosen for animals. For those who do care, here are the most popular puppy and kitty names of 2013 compiled by Vetstreet.com. I’m surprised by the mythological names of [name_m]Zeus[/name_m], [name_u]Loki[/name_u] and [name_m]Thor[/name_m] as well as how many people still call their cats [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]. Any names that surprise you Berries?

fun, you should do a CAF with these.

redwoodfey · December 15, 2013, 6:55pm

This is pretty neat! There are some well named animals out there.

kala_way- What does CAF mean? I see it in the baby name games all the time, but never have figured it out.

namefan · December 16, 2013, 5:45am

“CAF” means “create a family” - you create a family from a list of names and/or a determined number of members.

I think the cats have awfully humane names… but then again, my cat is named [name_f]Lulu[/name_f].

Oh gosh, well I feel like a dope. It seems so obvious now. Thanks!

My dog magazine this month gave the most common names for dogs in the UK this year from [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] Insurance. They haven’t separated into genders though.

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] - I used to have a g.p. called [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] - I literally know about 5 of these
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]

Worryingly close to the top ten for human babies. O.o And seemingly the male doggies are getting the more unusual names as there are only two male names on the list and I’m sure some of the Charlies are girls.

Argos Insurance give a slightly different list:

[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u]
