A fun part of getting a new pet is choosing its name. The finest dog names for males and females rely on a variety of elements, including a dog's unique personality and personal preferences.
Pop culture is currently a major influence for pet parents, despite the fact that there are many other potential sources for dog names. This trend shouldn't significantly change in 2023.
Popular Dog Names for 2023
The following dog names, according to Stacie Grissom, director of content at BARK, are predicted to be well-liked in 2023 as a result of impending television and movie releases:
_Nori, Galadriel and Finrod from Amazon’s “The Rings of Power” — a new “Lord of the Rings” series
_Maverick as a result of the release of “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022
_Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian and Ursula, coinciding with the release of “The Little Mermaid” in theaters in May 2023
_Charlotte, Daphne and Simon because “Bridgerton” continues to be an influencer and the next season is expected for 2023
_Tuk/Tuktirey and Kiri because of the re-release of “Avatar”
_Gizmo because “Gremlins 3” is expected to release in 2023, and Gizmo is the top name for Shih Tzus, according to BARK’s dog breed data, released last summer.
One of the major themes, according to Stacie, is the prevalence of characters from previously successful TV and film franchises like Marvel, "Game of Thrones," or "Star Wars."
According to her, "these cultural institutions have sizable followings of people who wish to reflect their love of these imaginary worlds to others so that they can discuss it with other people." "Since you can't discuss the most recent "House of the Dragon" episode with your dog, we've discovered it's a method to express your affection and involve your dog in all of your favorite activities. More and more dog parents want to engage their dogs in their human celebrations all throughout the year, which is a significant trend that is still going strong.
Inspiration for best female dog names
According to Stacie, there is a significant association between the rising popularity of human baby names and dog names in the case of female dog names, particularly when it comes to names with just two syllables that are simple to yell out loud, like Luna, Nova, and Bella.
Religion-inspired names are less common, but Greek god names like Athena, Atlas, Zeus, and Apollo are more prevalent, and we anticipate this trend to continue into 2023.
Although it's still a little early to anticipate, Erin Askeland, animal health and behavioral expert at Camp Bow Wow in Westminster, Colorado, which has a database of dog names from roughly 400,000 camper visits each year, believes 2022 names can provide some clue for 2023 popular dog names.
