From these names, it’s clear that some

classics are still in fashion, with a good mix

of newer names rising in the ranks.

Are you stuck on a name for your new

furry friend? Pet Insurance Australia suggests

taking your time with naming your beloved

new friend.

“A great tip when considering a name is to

have a few,” Nadia Crighton, PIA spokesperson,

says. “Sometimes you’ll have a certain name

in mind then when your pet arrives home,

he/she simply doesn’t suit the chosen name.”

Being sensible in your naming choice is

also a good idea. “Remember that your

precious pup or kitten will be a cherished

family member for up to 20 years, so choose

a name that will suit them when they are

fully grown dogs and cats.”
