I posted this in March for last year’s list and I thought it was fun so I wanted to ask again for 2012. This time the list is from a different source and a different format but remarkably similar to the one I used last time. If you want to see the article... Most Popular Puppy Names of 2012
We named our pup Ella...so pretty close to Bella, but not quite. We actually didn't consider any of those 2012 names. We also considered Adele, Zola, and Jewel.
We have a Jack but he's 3.5 years old. He is a trendsetter apparently And our Chloe is almost 3. So yes, but none named this year. Kira and Smooch didn't make the list
I have a Buddy...he was almost a Simba, though! Every once in a while now I'll joke that we should have named him Marley because my goodness the trouble he can cause.
Yes, our Toby made the list and the popularity of his name is what led me to insist our puppy not be in the top 20. Hubby was intent on two very popular dog names, until Toby's ophthalmology appointment when there were 3 Toby's in the waiting area! We settled on Yogi- hope it remains a little less used!
Nope I have heard more and more people naming their Goldens or Labs, Rain though :uhoh: Thankfully most are spelled "Rayne" and there's only 3 of them :bowl:
Molly is on the list but I couldn't help it! It fit her so well. Other names I was considering were Sierra, Alaska (from a favorite book), and Miya. Molly seemed to fit best.
I have never been in a situation where I called Molly and another dog was also Molly. But there was a time when I yelled "Molly, no!" when she was about to jump on this lady at the park and the woman asked, "...are you talking to me?!"
Before we got Bella, my wife and kids got a dog name book, and made of list of names. We agreed that we all would need to be on board with the name. Some of the names on their list were awful. The only one acceptable to me was Bella.
Nope neither Asia or Gromit on there big surprise I don't think there are any other Asia's on the forum either but we did meet a little white Maltese with her name awhile back.
I have a rescue cat named Max, but he was prenamed. My puppies are Bailee and Kymber, Bailee is pretty common at the dog park but Kymber is unique. We wanted names that went together for our sisters like Sugar and Spice but no one could agree. Looking back we missed the obvious connection, they were born the day before July 4th, so Liberty and Indy would have made good names. Oh well, if I ever get my beloved poms, they will be Violet and Olivia named for my grandmother. I wish I was rich and could have a house full of cats and dogs. I would love a Ragdoll kitten. I love cats equally as much as dogs.
My boyfriend is allergic, my kitty lives with my son so my boyfriend can breath. I have always had cats as an adult, I never had enough time or space to devote to a dog. These are truly my first puppies ever. I love them so much, even though they are playing with heir frozen poo. Lol
