Your new four-legged friend is about to become a huge part of your life and you need a name that encapsulates both their personality and your interests as an owner. The figures from dog chew brand, Tasty Bone, has revealed that almost one in five dogs were named after a film character in the last year.
Marvel and DC characters are favored, with Jarvis and Loki popular last year, as well as Harley. Luke also featured after another Star Wars film came out last year. Frozen 2 is set to hit screens in November, Elsa is set to increase next year. With the release of live action remakes of Lion King and Lady and the Tramp this year, it’s expected that even more owners will favor Simba and Lady for their new pooch. The Twilight craze led to Bella topping the pet name charts for both dogs and cats the year the final installment was released. Charlie was in the top 10 for the last two years and, with the long-awaited release of Charlie’s Angels later this year, this name is expected to top the charts once again.
