Unique Pet Names: The Pop Culture Edition
Published on July 01, 2016
We love finding out which kitten and puppy names are the most popular and super trendy each year, but you know what might be even cooler? Digging through our data to find our favorite unique pet names! That being said, it was no easy task.
Out of more than 10.4 million dog names and 4.6 million cat names (all belonging to pets born between January 2013 and May 2016) in the Vetstreet database, we pulled out 186,258 names that were, by definition, unique (meaning they appeared in that database only once). From there, we pulled out the most clever ones and divided them into categories. We’re kicking it off with some great pop culture references, but don’t worry — you’ll see all of them over the coming months!
One note: The pictures in the slideshow below are not pictures of the actual pets with these names. However, when possible we did attempt to share pictures of the same breed as the actual pet from our database.
