The most popular names for dogs and cats

Top 10 dog names

Each year, so-called “purebred” dogs registered with the LOF must have a name that is enforced with their initials. Varies by year of birth: P in 2019, R in 2020 and… S in 2021!

Many of you have lent yourselves to the game.

Here is the 2021 list of the most popular dog names for males:

1. Simba Rise to the top of the rankings and pay tribute to our favorite lion. She will give importance to the big harassers as well as to our little princes.
2. psycho He finished second on the podium. Inspired by manga or Japanese, this name means “gifted”. Enough to encourage his progress!
3. snow This listing is closed. Honoring the character of the famous series (because “You don’t know anything, Jon Snow.”) or a reference to the pure dog’s coat: This first name has the Sahel.

In the rest of the arrangement we find short names, with an Anglo-Saxon voice and largely inspired by cartoons such as Shadow (4th), Sky (5th), Snoopy (8) or Scott (9).

For females, one or two syllables are popular:

1. Sally The first step on the platform. A tribute to our heroines on the big screen (carsAnd the Nightmare Before ChristmasAnd the When Harry Met Sally), for a dog’s name.
2. StellaSweet, easy-to-pronounce name, meaning “star”.
3. he is This top finishes 3: A name that gives a sound (not too much, all the same) to your hairballs.

Then comes Shelpi (fourth), Nala (seventh, basic whatever year), Shiva (ninth) or Chanel (tenth).
