A Rover by Any Other Name

Statistics from a dog eat dog city
"Max" takes the cake for most popular dog name in New York for another year in a row with 1,228 city dwelling canines claiming it as their name sake. "Lucky" got lucky with second place and "Princess" pulled in 3rd. The 4th and 5th most popular pooch collars read Rocky and Buddy, making the top five names unchanged since 2004.

Purebreds are also proving less popular with mutts making a name for themselves in NYC. This year 7,374 mixed breeds acquired new dog licenses in the big apple. So, if your furry friend is a mutt named Max, chances are he is in good company.

The recent findings beg the question, "What's in a name?" Signafur wants to know, what inspired you to choose your pup's tag?
