Dog names tell a lot about not only the dog, but the family, location, and lifestyle. While a recent article discussed the significance of people/dog name crossovers and the most popular choices for each, a recent discussion was prompted on Reddit after a list of the most popular dog names in New York City was posted.

Originally from the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset, they counted licenses that were valid on March 1, 2020. The total number of dog lisenses is 85.529 and the total unique names are 14,645.

Here are the top 15 most popular dog names in NYC, in order:

  • Bella (1,035)
  • Max (821)
  • Luna (718)
  • Charlie (717)
  • Coco (658)
  • Lola (618)
  • Rocky (598)
  • Lucy (542)
  • Daisy (485)
  • Lucky (468)
  • Teddy (466)
  • Buddy (455)
  • Bailey (454)
  • Milo (419)
  • Toby (404)

Some top comments on the Reddit thread included,

Every other dog (and cat) in my area seems to be named Loki. People are also strangely super defensive of it. They named their pet Loki “before it was cool” - UnderwaterKahn
As an ex vet tech I knew it was gonna be BELLA - Bpopson
Does 85,529 total licensed dogs in a city of over 8 million people seem low to anybody else? - michigan_matt

Apparently some users did not know you had to register dogs, so a more appropriate title should have been “Most Popular Licensed Dogs in NYC”.

Also, Bella seems to be the classiest name, according to one New Yorker.

YETI Recalls 1.9 Million Soft Coolers and Gear Cases

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, YETI has recalled their soft coolers and gear cases this month due to a magnet ingestion hazard. The magnet-lined closures can fail and result in detached magnets, posing a risk of serious injury or death if ingested. When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
