SAN DIEGO.- Choosing the name of your faithful furry companion can be a complete adventure, or maybe you're still looking for that one name you not only like but also goes with the personality of your pet. However, it could be even harder if you do not want to give a common name, right?

Conclusion, pet names are IMPORTANT.

The Department of Animal Services performed (like last year) a list of the most popular dog names in San Diego County, according to licensed dogs in the current year.

If you are one of those people who wants to avoid the attention of all dogs when going out to the park by calling the same name, then maybe you should avoid all of these, for almost every San Diegan have a pet called:

1.- Bella

2. Max

3.- Buddy

4.- Lucy

5.- Daisy

6.- Charlie

7.- Molly

8.- Bailey

9.- Roxy

10.- Lola

Some of the most popular names didn't changed much or only moved up or down. But hey, this is a great way for knowing wich names you should not consider for your new friend, the one that will make your day better every time you feel bad, or had a rough day. Yes, they might break some things but at the end is a member of the family, and as such, you should put effort and love in naming it.

BUT, if you DO like one of the names of the list and it speaks to you and your pet in a personal level, then go on! What really matters is that you guys be happy.
