Patch's Poll: Most Popular Dog Names Of 2011

Post a photo of your best friend. Is his or her name "Buddy," "Max," "Daisy," "Bella," or "Lucy?"

One of the children in our house is Juno. She's a nine month old puppy with lots of spunk. Yes she even has her own health insurance and according to to it, Veterinary Pet Insurance Co (VPI), and Petfinder.com, we may have not been a part of the 'in crowd' when naming her.

Her name wasn't that popular of a choice for dogs in 2011.

A roundup of the most popular dog names in 2011 showed no change over the previous year. Bella, Bailey, Max, Lucy and Molly were the top 5 most popular dog names.

If your dog isn't named one of those, rounding out the top 10 are Buddy, Daisy, Maggie, Charlie and Sophie.

So, although my family thinks Juno's name is the best, some beg to differ. Share what you named your special family member.
