Which are the most common boy pet names right now?
Always popular boy names include Max, Charlie, Buddy, Rocky, and Leo. But, distinctive choices like Odin, Koda, or Atlas are growing in traction for pet parents who want a name extra stand-out.
Is it OK to use a shortened version instead of a dog's official name?
Of course! Many dogs respond to two or more names. Just make sure you stick to one primary name for training to avoid mixed signals.
