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.
Other popular names on the MSPCA-Angell’s Top Pet Names of 2010 include Annabelle for rabbits, Dexter for ferrets, Abbie for birds, and Molly for guinea pigs. Some of the more unique names include a dog named Deogi (pronounced D-O-G) and a cat named Beep Beep.
