Pet medical insurance provider's list of top names for pets in 2020
AUSTIN, Texas - Trupanion, a medical insurance provider for pets, looked at its database of more than 530,000 dogs and cats and found the top 50 dog names and top 50 cat names for 2020.
The company says it's noticed an uptick in COVID-related pet names since the pandemic began in March. Many people welcomed new pets into their homes while quarantining and decided to give them a name like Corona, Rona, Covi, and even COVID. Some even decided to name their pet Fauci, after infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci.
But none of the COVID names made the top 10 for either dogs or cats but there were some names appearing on both lists.
