Most Popular Pet Names: Top Picks of 2024

Rover, an online marketplace for pet care, has recently released its data on the most popular pet names and trends of 2024. After analyzing millions of user-submitted names, the platform revealed its top picks. Charlie and Milo lead the list for male pets, while Luna ranks as the number one name for female dogs and cats.

The report also highlights a cultural favourite, “Parents won't be surprised to hear that everyone's favorite Blue Heeler, Bluey, captured the hearts of pet people nationwide. The main character's name surged 58% for dogs and an impressive 122% for cats, claiming the number one trending spot overall for both."

"The pet names we choose are a look into our latest cultural obsessions and our sources of joy," said Nicole Ellis, Certified Professional Trainer and Rover Pet People Panelist.
