It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for all year. The most popular Canadian dog and cat names of 2020 have finally been announced.
The list, shared by Rover, highlights the most common names for male and female dogs and cats from the past year. The company looks at tens of thousands of names to uncover new trends, as well as some honourable mentions inspired by pop culture.
Some of the most popular names for doggos, unsurprisingly, included Charlie, Cooper, and Bella. And as for felines, Luna, Milo, and Oliver were at the top of the pack. There were, however, plenty of less traditional names that caught recognition.
For example, Rover found multiple dogs that were named Maple Syrup. There was also a 51% increase in dogs named Ketchup.
Canadian television series Schitt’s Creek also played a major role in this year’s most popular names, with names like Twyla, Alexis, and David on the rise.
Meanwhile, Canadian celebrities like Carly Rae Jepson, Shawn Mendez, and Shania Twain were additional sources of inspiration this year for both canines and felines.
