Towards the end of each year, websites compile lists for the most popular names used throughout. May be one of the best things about 2023! And our favorites are of course the ones for pets; specifically the cat names. While you are likely to see the commonly used names across all animals, some are welcomed in the “human crossover”.

I’m very curious to see if any are multi-year top “dogs”. Thankfully, this isn’t the first year we’ve gotten to cover this very important information! Because honestly, there’s nothing more off-putting than your neighbor yelling “GoldenBallz” while looking for their cat…just for example.

Last but not least, I discovered another list for the Best Cute Pet Names for 2023.
It was the well-known and established Reader’s Digest that took a crack at this list, although a bit biased. Because I know plenty of people that think the more “unapproachable” the pet, the cuter they are. NO matter their names. But I do have to admit, while some of these are kind of adorable for any animals…should some should stick to the two-legged?
- Latte
- Queen
- Elsa
- Baby Yoda
- Stan Lee
- Cupcake
- Loki
- Lizzo
- Spirit
- Simba
- Maisel
- Hussle
- Stevie Nix
- Taylor Swift
- Bo Peep
- Stormie
- Bobba
- Doobie
- Rose
- Juggernaut
Just kidding on that last one, thought I’d slip Jugg in there considering we believed it to be purrfect for our tortie foster fail. She pushed her way through, and UNDER her siblings to get to the food before we knew she was female. But sometimes THEY just pick their names! Or that’s what we’re going with.
I’m going to keep searching for a list of the FUNNIEST animal names or we’ll just have to compile our own.
So do you agree with this years lists of the most popular and cute animal names? What name did YOU CHOOSE for your fur-kid?
