Havanese ranks at #389 with 318 entries, registered as male-leaning. Like Morkie and French, this is almost certainly a registration artifact rather than 318 dogs literally named Havanese — owners filing licensing paperwork who left the breed name in the pet's name field.
The breed-as-name pattern
Havanese is a small Cuban toy breed and Cuba's national dog. Its presence in the chart's name column at this level reflects municipal-licensing-data quirks rather than naming preference. The breed page at Havanese names covers the actual common given names that Havanese owners pick — typically small, vintage, often Spanish or Italian feminine names that pair with the breed's elegant, friendly presence.
What Havanese owners actually pick
The genuine common Havanese given names cluster heavily with Coco, Lola, Bella, and Luna — small, warm, vowel-heavy names that match the breed's compact, expressive look. Cuban-naming-heritage households over-index on Spanish picks like Paco or Lola for the same breed.
If you want it as an actual name
As a deliberate given name, Havanese (HAV-ah-neez) has a three-syllable shape with a singing close that could work for a dignified pet. It would land more naturally on a Havanese dog (where the breed-name match is the joke) than on an unrelated breed. The Havanese baby name page shows essentially zero SSA presence as a human given name.
