Most common dog names I've come across now that I walk a dog, in descending order:
- Max
- Jack
- Murphy (which was #1 on my list originally, for Chris Murphy of course. Sloan was on there too)
- Abby
- Bailey
Mine is a poodle/terrier mix I named Finnegan. Finn for short, though I'm pretty sure people in the neighborhood think his name is "Vinny" since I'm always calling him Finny while out walking.
"Finn" is a good, short name you can shout and get attention in a pinch/emergency/bad behavior moment (though those are far and few between with Finny!).
And, there's a labradoodle puppy in the building next door -- oh my gosh what a beautiful, peppy, friendly dog!!! [I adopted so couldn't be too specific about breed; would have gotten a Glen of Imaal Terrier, maybe a Westie.]
