Dogs are the best, aren't they? No matter what they're named, they always become part of the family and bring joy and companionship into our lives every day.

Naming your dog is so much more than just picking a common dog name.

It's similar to naming your child, reflecting their personality and your connection to them. Sometimes you can look at a dog and instantly know that a name like ‘Max’ or ‘Ben’ fits them perfectly.

But how does someone determine the most popular dog names, let alone the most popular dog names in Maine? Is there a Census for dogs?

According to a report from U.S. News and World Report, which recently released an article highlighting ‘The Most Popular Dog Name in Each State,’ the team was able to determine the most common dog names in the country and break them down state-by-state.

The U.S. News and World Report’s 360 Reviews team analyzed 811,798 data points from a third-party pet insurance industry partner in September and October 2023 to determine the most popular dog names in each state.

Additionally, the data included dog names and state residences, filtered and ranked by state.

Names with various spellings (the example they gave was ‘Abby’ and ‘Abbie’) were treated as separate entries and counted individually.

According to the study, 5% of dogs in the United States are named Bella. Bella is the most popular name for dogs in 37 states, as well as the District of Columbia, but not in Maine.
