Pet insurance brand ManyPets have raided their database of over 50,000 dogs to reveal the most popular puppy names of the year.
The top two remain unchanged from last year, and interestingly are the same two names that top the list for cat owners too.
ManyPets' Lewis Martins said: “Like babies, choosing the name of your pet takes time and consideration. It’s interesting to see that owners are going for similar cat and dog names, and the trend of picking human names is still going strong!
“If you're stuck on what to go for, our ManyPets tip is to pick a name with two-syllables in it – the shortness makes it much easier for your pet to learn and recognise”
Here's the top 10.
