Top dog names

Last year, some of the UK’s most popular dog names were familiar yet adorable. Luna, Bella, and Daisy continued to be firm favourites for female pups, while Teddy, Milo, and Buddy topped the charts for boys. Classic picks like Charlie and Max remained popular, while nature-inspired names like Poppy and Willow were charming choices that suit all breeds.

Meanwhile, on our list of the 100 most popular dog names (below), you might spot some celebrity-inspired choices. Finn (number 65) is the dog of actress Amanda Seyfried, and thanks to his own Instagram account, he's become something of a celebrity in his own right. Barney, number 46 on our list of most popular dog names, belongs to Radio 1 DJ Greg James — fans often spot the pair out on walks via Greg’s social media. And the Beckhams, known for their love of dogs, have a Cocker Spaniel named Olive, who comes in at number 35 on our list.
