One company in the United States, Veterinary Pet Insurance makes the names of pets chosen by their policyholders available to the public every year. They track names for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and exotics (the catch-all category). For dogs and cats, they separate the animal pet names by male and female names. For the other pet name lists, they present one list, with male female and gender-neutral names all together in a single list.
These animal pet name lists are fascinating and comprehensive. This company is the largest pet insurance company in the United States, and has been collecting pet names since 1980, so they have a lot to offer.
The lists below contain the top 20 names for each category since 1980.
We think we'll be able to help you with your pet name search, and we hope you will enjoy looking through these names here on Dog-Paw-Print.com, with pet name information made available by the nice folks at Veterinary Pet Insurance.
