Nice names cant wait to name my new cat kingdom
Rose on June 29, 2020:
I really want to call our dog raisin, but nobody else wants too. By looking at
this website, I have found so many more names, such as coffee.
Charlotte on March 31, 2020:
The name we are thinking for are dog is Mochi.

Hi Lora, thank you for the positive feedback. Figgy is such a cute name. I met
a huge mastiff-type dog named Figgy, she was so gentle, and I’ve always loved
that name. I’m glad you enjoyed this list. I think food names for critters can
be so perfect!
Lora Hollings on February 13, 2020:
What a fun and interesting article, Layne! I really enjoyed the video too on
the top 50 most popular dog names. The next dog I adopt or foster, I will name
Figgy after the fruit. That is so cute! I also love the name Clementine. Just
like the song too, “Oh My darlin, Clementine.” My last foster I named Ginger
because she had a golden reddish brown coat and she looked just like the
spice! It suited her so well. Thanks for these great names that I will
definitely use in the future. I’m always looking for unique dog names!
