The Name Game: Choosing a Name for your Dog

Are you getting a new puppy and just can't think of a name? Here are the top 12 male and female dog names of 2007. Max is the top name, so I guess it does make sense that there are three dogs named Max at play group.

1. Max -- Molly
2. Buddy -- Bella
3. Jake -- Lucy
4. Bailey -- Maggie
5. Rocky -- Daisy
6. Charlie -- Sadie
7. Jack -- Chloe
8. Toby -- Sophie
9. Cody -- Bailey
10. Buster -- Zoe
11. Duke -- Lola
12. Cooper -- Abby

If you want your pup to have a unique name, try naming him after one of his character traits (Spot or Cocoa) or maybe after something your lil guy really likes (Teddy Bear).

Also think of a historical figure (Leopold or Beatrix) or an actress in your favorite play (Juliet).

Try taking a word that describes your pup and translate it (Sweetie is BonBon in Italian, or Kiss is Bisou in French).

Take a name from your favorite sport (Becks) or chose a name from something you are interested in (Neptune).

How did you think of your puppy's name?
