Any parent knows how difficult it can be to choose a name for the new addition to the family, and selecting a name for your pet can be just as tricky.

Just like choosing a baby name, when it comes to finding a name for your dog it can be helpful to look at the top 10 names for dogs.  You might decide to go with one of the popular dog’s names on the list or perhaps it’ll encourage you to think up your very own unique dog’s name.

Take a look at the top 10 names for dogs.

Most popular names for male dogs:

Buddy

Bailey

Max

Charlie

Jack

Oscar

Toby

Archie

Milo

Most popular names for female dogs:

Interestingly, and perhaps luckily, there is only one name that is listed in the ‘Top 10 dogs names’ and also in the ‘Top 10 Australian baby names’—and that is Ruby.

Can you imagine being introduced to a newborn baby and saying, “Oh that’s a lovely name—it’s the same name as my dog!?”
