Trending Dog Names

The top dog names today are also baby names. While there is no authoritative list by country of popular names for dogs, different organizations such as the American Kennel Club and locales like New York City keep their own lists of popular dog names, led by Bella for girls and Max for boys.

Along with Bella, the other top names for girl dogs include Luna, Lucy, Daisy, and Lily. In addition to Max, the other top names for boy dogs include Charlie, Cooper, Buddy, and Rocky. Nickname names are very popular for dogs, such as Maggie, Rosie, Teddy, and Ollie.

While the dog names here appear in different order on different lists, here is our compilation of the 50 most popular names for dogs today.
