What 35,000 Pet Licenses Tell Us About How We Name Our Pets
What do 723,000 pet licensing records actually reveal about how we name our animals? We dug into 35,806 unique pet names from public datasets and found a story full of surprises: just 4.5% of names cover nearly half of all pets, 12,647 names exist only once in the entire dataset, and human names have quietly taken over. Whether you want a name that fits right in or one that stands completely alone, the data will change how you think about the choice.
