Bringing a new dog home is exciting, but one of the first decisions you make as a pet parent is what to name your new four-legged friend, and it can be challenging. You want to choose something you like the sound of, especially since you’ll be saying it dozens of times every day, but you also want a name that fits your new pup’s personality.
Fortunately, the American Kennel Club is here with some inspiration for that decision.
- The AKC has just released a list of the most popular dog names of 2024.
- The nonprofit, which is the largest purebred dog registry in the world, uses AKC registration stats, along with Canine Partner mixed-breed enrollment stats, to determine the names.
- This year, Luna once again claims the top spot for girl’s names.
- For boys, last year’s number one, Max, has fallen to number two, and Milo comes in first.
