Pandemic-Inspired Dog Names

The past year has been unlike any other, to say the least. Many dog owners took inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic and names their dogs Fauci and Dr. Fauci! Names Covi, Rona, and Corona were always used throughout 2020.

Pop Culture

Dog owners love naming their pups after TV characters, celebrities, and celebrity babies. Chrissy, Kanye, Mila, and Jay-Z were widely popular dog names in 2020 and leading into 2021. Blake and Gwen were two other popular names, named of course after celebrity couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.

TV show Friends continues to have a huge influence in pop culture and dog naming trends. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey remain popular names for four-legged family members.
