It’s that time of year again. Pet Insurance Australia has compiled the list of the top pet names trending in 2022. With some all-time favourites topping the list once again.
“It’s lovely to explore these lists every year to see the current trends with pet names,” Nadia Crighton from Pet Insurance Australia says. “It’s great to see some classic names topping the lists alongside some unique choices, while some names are clearly making a comeback in 2022.”
For dogs - Ziggy and Murphy make an appearance for the very first time, while popular names such as Luna, Bella, and Archie are still topping the charts. While for our feline friends, we have some very interesting names, such as Chino, Angel, Biscuit, and an old one making a resurgence – Audrey.
These names are for pets born in 2022, so it gives us a really good snapshot of the current trending names Australians are choosing to name their beloved fur babes.”
Top Tips for Choosing your Pet's Name
✔️ Does the name carry well when you call it out?
✔️ Consider two-syllable names that are easier to hear for our pets.
✔️ Have a few names ready and see which one your pet best suits.
✔️ Choose a name that will suit your pet as they age.
“Taking the time to find the perfect name for your pet is always best advised,” Crighton says. “And also considering will this name suit my dog when they are a 45kg dog? Choosing a good solid name that you will love as your pet changes from a cute puppy or kitten is always recommended.”
