Petsure's Content Manager Allie has also offered some tips for new pet parents on how to name their new four-legged friends.
She said: 'Giving your pet a short name with no more than two syllables could help with recall. A simple and concise name may also prevent any confusion with other words and phrases.
'Your pet is an individual, so taking the time to learn their personality can help to guide your name choice. Or you perhaps may want to pick a name based on a unique physical feature, such as unusual fur markings.'
Advising to give the name allocation a test run, Allie added: 'Once you think you've settled on a name, give yourself time to try it out. Call your pet by that name for a few days and see how it feels.
'Pay attention to how it sounds when you say it aloud and how your pet responds. This trial can help check if the chosen name feels just right for both you and your pet.'
In 2023, Charles, Barbie and Taylor were among the most popular dog names, according to a report by dog-walking company Rover.
