You've just picked out your new puppy. Now the next thing on your list should be to pick a great name. Unfortunately, this might seem a lot more easily said than done because there are countless doggone great dog names to choose from! The sky is literally the limit (and, incidentally, "Sky" is a great dog name too)!

If you find yourself overwhelmed, trying to find the perfect name for your new puppy, you may want to find out what other puppy owners are naming their pups. Even if you don't like these popular top dog names, it's at least a good starting point.

So how does one go about finding these names? Well, companies like Petfinder.com have databases with hundreds of thousands of registered dogs. Since all these pets have names, Petfinder was able to create a list of the most popular dog names in the US. So, are you ready to find out what these names are? Drum roll please...

For male dog names, the top 5 choices were Max, Buddy, Jack, Charlie and Rocky. For female dog names, Molly, Bella, Lucy, Sadie and Daisy came out tops.

Of course, just like baby names, the popularity of these top dog names varies from year to year. A current trend is that more and more dog owners are giving their best friends human names rather than conventional dog names like Spot, Fido and Rover.

As you go on to choose the perfect name for your new dog, allow yourself be as creative or conventional as you like. If you're not phased by your dog being the third "Max" living on your block, you may want to pick one of the current most popular puppy names.

Whatever you do, just remember that you're destined to be calling your dog's name out dozens of times daily so it's important that you like it and that it's easy to say. Good luck!
