Rover, the world's largest online marketplace for loving pet care, just released 2024's top names for dogs and cats. They delved into their database of over a million pet names submitted by pet parents to find the trends and most popular names of the year.

Curious what made the list? No need to wait. Check out the most popular, unique, and food-driven names of the year. 

Nicole Ellis, Certified Professional Trainer and Rover Pet People Panelist said, "This year's report reads like the magazines we used to love flipping through—the names are equal parts tabloid-worthy and total comfort food." 

The name options for your newly adopted dog or cat are endless. Most people choose a name based on things they love like music, food, or favorite movie character. While others come up with a name as unique as their furry friend.
