10 Top Dog Names for Males
#1 Charlie
#2 Max
#3 Buddy
#4 Milo
#5 Archie
#6 Ollie
#7 Oscar
#8 Teddy
#9 Leo
#10 Alfie
10 Top Dog Names for Females
#1 Bella
#2 Luna
#3 Coco
#4 Ruby
#5 Molly
#6 Frankie
#7 Daisy
#8 Rosie
#9 Lucy
#10 Lola
For the sixth year in a row, the name Bella claimed the title of Australia’s most popular dog name. Indeed, with the exception of Victoria (in which Charlie proved to be the #1 top dog name), Bella earned the top ranking in every state and territory. All hail Bella. Long may she reign.
Clink clink, let’s drink
In a thirst-quenching turn of events, Australian Dog Owners have revealed a love of drink-inspired dog names. In fact, one quarter of the Top 20 dog names were inspired by drinks. Interestingly, this pattern doesn’t continue among the lower ranked names. This suggests that, as far as dogs and drinks are concerned, Australian Dog Owners have an “all or nothing” policy. Condiments also made a cameo, with “Pepper” and “Chilli” taking the 29tt and 108th spots, respectively.
Pop Culture Takes a Slump
Compared to earlier top dog names lists, the popularity of pop culture-inspired names saw a decline. Aside from Luna (Harry Potter), pop culture references were conspicuously absent amidst the Top 20 Dog Names.
However, pop culture does still hold some sway over naming choices in the Top 100. Interesting, the name Loki (AKA the Norse God of Mischief) jumped 42 places from previous years, earning a #48 ranking. Perhaps Norse myths are enjoying a resurgence, but we’re quietly confident the MCU is to thank for this upswing.
(NB: we’re glad to see Nala and Simba rank in the Top 100. Thanks to the live-action remake of The Lion King, they’ll surely remain popular in Australia for some time.)

My last three male dogs have been called Henry, and each one of them was mild tempered, obedient, happy and a wonderful company for me. I am in my 80’s and have lived alone many years except for a dog, and couldnt wish for better company. My present five year old large spoodle, Henry, barks along with me when I “la la la” to something on TV. My daughter says he is protesting but to me he is singing with me.
