To develop the rankings, TrustedHousesitters said it analyzed its database of more than 50,000 animals. It then divided every one “by popularity, region and pet type” to figure out the most typical names throughout the nation and within each state.

The outcomes were launched after one recent report discovered Luna was the most popular name for U.S. dogs. Another identified the country’s animal owners were huge fans of Luna, Max and Oliver, McClatchy News reported.
