A classic pet name is back at the top of the year’s most popular dog names. “Max” reclaimed the top spot for male dog names on the American Kennel Club’s 2025 list released Wednesday after losing its crown in 2024 to “Milo.” It previously held the title in 2022 and 2023. In second place this year was “Hank,” which ranked 35th in the previous year. Meanwhile, the top name for female dogs was “Luna,” followed by “Bella” and “Daisy.” “Choosing a pet’s name is such a fun and important part of the process when acquiring a dog,” AKC president and CEO, Gina M. DiNardo, said in a statement. “People put a great deal of effort into picking a name that perfectly fits their pet and often spend a lot of time making that decision.”
