Pet Insurance Australia has just revealed the top trending pet names of 2021. Including some classics, there are actually some great new names for cats and dogs making this year’s list.

Nadia Crighton from Pet Insurance Australia shared some tips for choosing pet names:

  • Does the name carry well when you call it out? 
  • Consider two-syllable names that are easier to hear for our pets. 
  • Have a few names ready and see which one your pet best suits. 
  • Chose a name that will suit your pet as they age.

It’s no surprise traditional names like Luna and Archie have topped the list once again, but a few fresh ones like Winston and Mochi have climbed their way up as well.
