EmbarkVet.com just released their list of the most popular dog names in 2020.
For female pups, it was Luna! In fact, the name Luna was such a hot dog name for 2020 that it was picked three times more than the second choice for female dog name Daisy. Bella, Lucy and Penny were the top five names for female dogs.
