It is interesting that many sites give different answers for the top 3 male and female dog names: Male: Max - Jake - Buddy Female: Maggie - Mollie - Lady http://www.dog-answers.com/Most-Common-Dog-Names.html This next site from "psychology today" might be the best for answering the question: Male: Max -- Jake -- Buddy Female: Molly -- Bella -- Daisy http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/201112/the-most-popular-dog-names-in-the-english-speaking-world Feb 07 12, 2:08 AM

And here's yet another list, based on Australian data - Max, Sam and Jack are the top three for males, Jessie, Molly and Chloe for females. Each of these lists, and many more that you can find out there, uses a very restricted database (some of the links let you know how they obtained the information, others do not) so at best offer a partial answer. (Nothing I have seen anywhere comes to grips with all the dogs whose names are not in English, for example.) http://www.puppy-names-hq.com/the-most-popular-dog-names.html The people who produced the Australian list claim to have scoured the world to come up with a definitive answer *for the English-speaking world*: Max, Jake, Charlie for males; Molly, Lucy, Daisy for females. http://www.puppy-names-hq.com/top-100-dog-names.html Feb 07 12, 1:23 PM
