Looking for just the right name for your new fuzzy friend? You’ll want something that feels right – something that fits your pup’s personality to a “T”.

The possibilities are endless, but we have some information on some of the most popular names from the last few years. Some are classics, some are inspired by pop culture, and some are just plain cute! No matter your new puppy’s manner, you’re likely to find matching moniker for him!

1 – Bella

Bella means “beautiful” in Italian. This name made the list of most popular dog names in 2009 – the year after the first Twilight movie was released, and it’s popularity has yet to die down!

2 – Max

Short and sweet, Max was the name of Prince Eric’s lively English Sheepdog in Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

3 – Lucy

Lucy can be short for “Lucille” but also stands alone just fine. Lucy comes from the Latin word for “light”, as in “My Lucy is the light of my life!”

4 – Charlie

This classic works great for either gender. Charlie is also the name of the cute brown dog with the big nose in the Looney Tunes cartoons!

5 – Daisy

Remember Meg Ryan describing Daisies as “the friendliest flower”? This name is perfect for your fun, friendly pup!
