So you've brought home your new pet and it's time to name him/her. At the shelter we are having to come up with about 3-5 new names a week and we're always looking for new ideas. Right now the most popular dog name in North America is Sam. The second is Max and the third is Lady. Other popular names are Bear, Maggie, Buddy, Tasha, Chelsea, Holly, Shasta, Brandy, Ginger and Taffy. If you would like to come up with a more original or suitable name for your new pet, check out www.petrix.com/dognames/index.html and www.petrix.com/catnames/index.html where you'll find thousands of suggestions.
