What's in a Name?

At Camp Bow Wow, we have over 300 clients, so there are bound to be many dogs with interesting names walking through the doors. A lot of dogs at CBW have the same name. We have many Baileys, Lilys, Mollys, and more. So, sometimes we need to identify a trait on a particular dog in order to distinguish her from the other dogs of the same name. For instance, we have "Soft Max" and "Red Maggie." Their owners may not call them that, but it helps us to keep things straight.

It's also very easy to tell what the current naming trends are from the pups that come to visit us. There is quite the influx of dogs named after Penguins players lately. We have Sids, Crosbys, and even a Malkin! Strangely enough, there are no Roethlisbergers or Polamalus. ;)

In 2008, VPI Pet Insurance took a survey of the most popular dog names and compiled a list of 100 for both males and females. Check out the list and see if your dog's name is on it!
