These are the most popular names for pets in 2020

Is your furry friend on the list? - by Better Homes and Gardens

These are the most popular names for pets in 2020

We’re used to seeing these kind of compilations for humans but what if you need some name inspiration for your fur baby?

Pet Insurance Australia have determined the most popular pet names in Australia and it turns out Luna and Archie aren't just popular baby names, they came in at number one for both dogs and cats.

Both have been popular baby names as of late as they belong to celebrity children, Luna is Chrissy Teigan’s daughter and Archie is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby.

The top spots also had some old classics including Fluffy, Bear, Teddy and Milo which all took out spots in the male name categories. For the females there were reappearances of Daisy, Rosie and Angel.

While celebrities clearly had an influence, so too have movies with names like Simba, Casper, Alice, Indiana and Buffy proving to be popular in 2020.

When it comes to unusual names there were several bizarrely spelt names that soared into popularity; Nawty, Ajax, Macho and Tarbh.

Have a look at the full list below.
