Here Are The Most Popular Dog Names In CT For 2023: New Report

CONNECTICUT — Here’s a riddle: If you go to your local dog park and shout “TOP NAME,” how many dogs might come running?

We can’t say exactly, but it could be a pack — a friendly, tail-wagging pack, but a large group nonetheless. That’s according to a recent analysis of customer data by The Wag, a pet care, health and training company.

The top four names nationally — Bella, Luna, Max and Charlie, respectively — appeared on the rankings of each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

If you don’t want your pooch to have the same name as all the other dogs, steer clear of these, which rose to the top 10 names for dogs in Connecticut in 2023:

1. Bella
2. Luna
3. Max
4. Charlie
5. Cooper
6. Bailey
7. Lucy
8. Daisy
9. Rocky
10. Coco

The analysis is limited to The Wag’s customers, but similar to an analysis TrustedHousesitters, a pet-sitting business, that found the top names for dogs in 2023 are Charlie, Max, Cooper, Buddy and Jack for males, and Lucy, Bella, Luna, Daisy and Lilly for females.

According to that study, Rosie is the top name for dogs in Connecticut and for cats the most popular name is Billie.
