Most Popular

           I don’t think there is any topic that the internet doesn't comment about.  Where was the internet when I was in school?  Maybe my grades would have been a bit better then when researching for that term paper.  But all this is hindsight.  But getting to where I am coming from, in looking for subjects to write about dogs, the internet helps.  In one’s lifetime one can own so many dogs and know all things about them personally.  After all is said about them, what to write about becomes hard.
            I was wondering about if there was a most popular name for a dog.  There is one for a baby.  And yes, there is one for a dog.  Also, one for a cat that can be later mentioned in my cat blog.  But out of the most popular list for dog’s, I never made the list in the names I gave my dogs.   But I guess I shouldn't feel so bad.  Lassie never made the list either.
            I could list all 100 names for male dogs and the other 100 names given female dogs.  But ask the question on the internet, “What are the most popular dog names and most popular cat names?”  It will take you right to the list with the click of the mouse.
            The ranking on the internet comes from the names compiled by the Veterinary Pet Medical insurance policies purchased mostly within the United States.  How accurate this is one can only guess.  Many may not have pet insurance.  I don’t for now.  I guess this subject to change if Congress and the Senate require it.
            I give below the top ten male names and female names for dogs.

Rank              Male               Female
1                     Max                Molly
2                     Buddy             Bella
3                     Jake                Lucy
4                     Bailey             Maggie
5                     Rocky             Daisy
6                     Charlie             Sadie
7                     Jack                Chloe
8                     Toby               Sophie
9                     Cody               Bailey
10                   Buster             Zoe

*Making the list of top ten on both male and female names:  Bailey (she/he) came in at number 4 and 9.
