These Are The Most Popular Dog Names In Illinois

Dog names, like baby names, can go in and out of fashion but we know the most popular pup names for Illinois for 2023.

What we name our pet says a lot about us and sometimes it can really say a lot about the pet's personality too. My mom's spaniel was named Buster and he had the attitude to match it.

If you've recently gotten a pup, it can be hard to figure out the perfect name. For one of my dogs, it took my family and I a week to come up with a solid name for him. So as you're trying to figure out a name, PetHelpful suggests you keep it to two syllables so you can get your dog's attention faster. You may have already unintentionally done that, so right on.
