Max is no longer king of dog names

Max has been the the most popular dog name for ages. In fact, my person's first dog which she got 19 years ago was named Max. Well the tide had turned, and Bella is now on top! VPI (Veternary Pet Insurance) surveyed their database of 470,000 clients to come up with the top pet names of 2009:

1. Bella

2. Max

3. Bailey

4. Lucy
5. Molly
6. Buddy

7. Maggie
8. Daisy
9. Chloe
10. Sophie

They also collected what they deemed the 50 wackiest pet names. My favorites from the list is "Bam Bam Noodle Butt" and "I am Sparticus"--fitting for a 200 pound mastiff! Check out the whole list here. You can read about how the top 10 got there names here.
