Top Dog Names for 2011

Fidos and Spots of the world, where have you gone? Banfield Pet Hospital has compiled the top 50 dog names of 2011, and there’s nary a Rover or Fifi among them. Banfield is the largest privately owned veterinary practice in the United States–and with a patient database compiled from over 780 hospitals across the country, they seem a reliable authority on the year’s most popular pet names. What’s the name of your dog(s)? Is your pooch’s name on the list?

50. Sammy
49. Oreo
48. Missy
47. Mia
46. Teddy
45. Sam
44. Marley
43. Peanut
42. Lilly
41. Gracie

Still trying to figure out why they are given "people" names, e.g. Lola, Jake,Daisy. I figured they ran out of real dog names.
