Questions and answers

What is the most popular dog name?

In New York City's 2026 license file it is Luna, on 1,177 licenses, ahead of Bella, Coco, Max and Milo.

Where do these dog names come from?

From the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset that the city's health department publishes. We counted the 2026 records by name and left out placeholders such as Unknown, brand names and characters from films and cartoons.

Can I use it as a dog name randomizer for a new puppy?

Yes. Press until one sounds right, then try it on the puppy for a day. A name from Rank 151 and below is less likely to be shared with another dog at the park.

How this list was compiled: The 297 dog names on 47 or more license records in the NYC Dog Licensing Dataset (NYC Open Data, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Dog-Licensing/NYC-Dog-Licensing-Dataset/nu7n-tubp), records with extract_year 2026, counted by name with case ignored, fetched 2026-09-23 through the dataset's public API. A record is a license period, and a renewal in the same year makes a second record, so the counts are license records, not dogs. Left out before ranking: placeholders (Unknown, Name Not Provided, None, NA, Name, A, Mr., Sir, Little, Baby), a breed word (Poodle), brand and drink names (Oreo, Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Hershey, Snickers, Whiskey, Diesel, Chewy), names of film, cartoon and game characters (for example Nala, Simba, Snoopy, Scooby, Yoshi, Leia, Stitch, Mickey, Minnie, Bambi, Dobby, Zelda, Benji, Pluto, Marley) and famous people's single names (Elvis, Bowie, Biggie, Kobe). Ranks are counted after those were removed, and names with the same count share a rank. Names are shown in title case; the file stores capitals.
