Charlie and Bella topped the MSPCA-Angell’s list of Top Pet Names of 2010. Charlie won out for male dogs, unseating Max from 2009, and Oliver made the top of the list for male cats. For the second year in a row Bella was the most popular name among female dogs and the name Zoe was tops among female cats. The list was compiled from thousands of patients treated at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston that were born in 2010.
