Meet The Most Popular Dog Names in Central Texas

Texas dogs have some pretty fun names, and a bunch of them are probably pretty familiar.

Don't be surprised if you go to a dog park in Texas, yell "Bella", and then a bunch of dogs come running. It's one of the most recognized dog names in Texas.

Max Is a Classic

Max is the third most popular Texas dog name. It's a strong yet simple name, and it can work for any dog no matter the size they are. It's easy to say, and it sounds great when you call your dog from across the yard.

Luna Is a Close Second

Luna is the second most recognized name for Lone Star pups. It means "moon",  and it is a favorite for people who like stars, space, or magic (hippie chicks). Quite a few fans (nerds) claim the name reminds them of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

Bella Is Number One

Bella is the Numero Uno dog name in Texas. It means "beautiful" in Spanish which makes it a perfect name for a cute little puppy. Bella is also very recognizable in other states, so your dog may not be the only Bella if you're on a road trip.

Other Top Names

Here are a few more names you will find a lot of Texans use for their dogs:

Coco - Perfect for a silly, fun-loving dog.
Daisy - A happy-go-lucky name.
Charlie - Good for boy dogs and feels old school.
Lucy - A sweet name that's always in style.

Why These Names Are So Popular

Most of the names I found seem like names you would give a person. That tends to be the trend right now. People select dog names similar to what they would name a family member. Some names also come from movies or books making them even more popular.

If you are getting a new dog, you can choose one of these dog names, or you can opt for something completely unique. Just be prepared to yell it across the park!

PS: Sorry Duke, you didn't make the cut.
