The topic of popular dog names came up in another post and I thought I'd look around online and see if I could find a list. Sure enough, I found the top 20 for dogs. The website this came from isn't an official website (like the Social Security Administration) but it looked pretty well researched and it seems most of the data comes from the Department of Health, along with some pet insurance companies. So here you have it.

I was shocked to see Winston was #20---when I first saw your puppy named Winston, I thought it was the cutest and most unique name for a dog that I had heard in a long while.
We had a Molly and a Maggie at the same time years ago, by the time they became the "popular" girl dog names, our girls were in their teens already!!!
Now that I am married, our little girl is Trudie--never heard another dog with that name--and my folks now have a Millie. My sister has a cat, his name is Harvey (after the movie Harvey) and my brother's dog is Anna (she was a rescue dog and came with that name.)
I think its funny that there are "popular" dog names just like there are "popular" baby names!

Cute list! Our cats are "Elrond" and "Lorien" - names from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (the books :)
However I always wanted a cat named Mullins. Right now I just have a stuffed cat named Mullins b/c we aren't getting a third. :)
I have never heard of Winston for a dog, and was also surprised to see it on there!
We have a dog and two cats. The dog (A tri-colored border collie)

I am thinking of getting a puppy soon and I am going to name her Lola! {Nicholas can say that one! Thank you Disney channel! :)}
I always wanted a dachsund {aka weiner dog} and name him Frank!
Yep, I know a dog named Jack, and had/have cats named Chloe and Sophie. I couldn't believe Annie was on there -- I've never met a pet named Annie. :-P
