For male dogs, Max remained the most popular name given, while Luna emerged as a new favorite choice for female dogs, according to pet care company Rover's 2022 Top Dog Names list.
A name that starts with a D, T or K sound will be easy for your dog to pick up. A name that starts with an S or F, which has a softer beginning, could be a little more confusing for them. A dog's name will also work best if it ends with a sharp “a” or long “e” sound.
