Most Trendy Dog Names of 2014
Published on January 14, 2015
Although the most popular puppy names list doesn’t generally change too much from year to year (with a few exceptions, as we shared with you recently), the trendiest names for dogs seem to get shaken up on an annual basis. We’ve tracked this information for several years — check out the results for 2011, 2012 and 2013 — and only once have we seen a name hold the top spot for more than one year, and that was Luna.
Until this year, that is, when the trendiest male dog name from last year won again.
To determine which names are most trendy, we used our database of nearly a million puppy names to compare the current year’s most popular names with the list of popular names from 10 years ago. Those that made the biggest jump in popularity over the course of the decade (even if they still didn’t break the top 10) earned a higher ranking.
That doesn’t mean all of these names are necessarily wildly popular right now — in fact, many of the names are barely among the 50 most popular — but we wouldn’t be surprised to see them climbing the charts in coming years.
