Petfinder.com<\/strong><\/a>, one of my favorite pet sites online (it’s how we found our sweet Honey<\/a>, after all!), has released their list of the top names for pets for 2009<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"kitty\"<\/p>\n

Petfinder points out the interesting trend of Americans veering away from “traditional” pet names like Fido and Fluffy, and are instead opting for either more “human” names or going all out wacky (there’s an “oddest names” list too).<\/p>\n

Buddy, Max, Daisy and Lucy are the top names for for dogs<\/strong>, and cats<\/strong> don’t stray too far with Lucy, Smokey, Midnight and Bella leading the feline list.<\/p>\n

The unusual names list<\/strong> is the one I find most interesting, though. It makes me want to know how these people came up with them, at the very least (my favorite is “Angry Donut”):<\/p>\n

~ Shyanne Thailand Moo Goo Guy Pan
\n~ Mr. Tomfoolery Scardeycat Eliot
\n~ Rusty Buckets
\n~ KeelHaul
\n~ Too Fancy for You
\n~ Angry Donut
\n~ Maple Syrup
\n~ Hoseclamp
\n~ Prince Xavier Binxley
\n~ Hoku-ho’okele-wa’a<\/p>\n

What the most interesting pet name you’ve<\/em> heard this year?<\/p>\n
