Toronto's Most Popular Pet Names Just Dropped & Some Are Truly Out Of This World
People were really vibing with The Lion King, too.
If you're wondering if your cute furry companion has a unique name, well, Toronto's most popular pet names for 2021 were just revealed and there are some very nostalgic picks this year.
The most popular pet names of 2021 were unveiled by Rover, a website that connects owners with pet sitters and dog walkers, and while there are some cute choices there are some peculiar picks as well. The company combed through its database of thousands of pet parents to discover what names were popular and trendy.
This year, the most popular dog names for all of the good boys in Toronto were Milo, Leo, Charlie, Max, Teddy, Simba, Bruno, Rocky, Loki, and Buddy. And then there's Luna, Bella, Coco, Daisy, Lola, Nala, Lucy, Bailey, Molly, and Rosie for the ladies.
There are some commonly shared names between cats and dogs in the 6ix.
Luna is the number one choice as well for female felines, followed also by Lola, Bella, with Coco and Lucy coming in at seventh and eighth place respectively.
Sophie, Daisy, Lily, Cookie, and Frankie also cracked the top ten. Meanwhile, Oliver, Oscar, Leo, Simba, Finn, Henry, Milo, Bear, Felix, and Gus, were Torontonians preferred choices for their male cats.
It seems like pet parents in the 6ix have a thing for The Lion King this year, as Simba cracked the top ten list for dogs and cats this year and Nala placed sixth for dogs.
Toronto's dog's names were really out of this world this year (literally.) Many dog parents in the 6ix were inspired by outer space and named their dogs after planets like Pluto, Jupiter, and Mars, the fiery astrological sign, Aries, and iconic space features like Rover and Comet, too.
Toronto's dog owners are also apparently itching to go on a vacay out of the country because Georgia, London, and Maui were all very trendy this past year.
Cat parents in the city were clearly inspired by their favourite fruits as Berry, Coconut, Fig, Lemon and Pineapple all sprung up onto the list this year as popular picks.
