Embrace Pet Insurance Reveals Top Dog and Cat Names of 2018
Embrace shares data around 2018's most popular pet names and the claims associated with them.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Embrace Pet Insurance released their list of 2018's top dog and cat names according to their database of over one million pet parents who quoted throughout the year. In addition to sharing the most popular pet names, longest/most outrageous pet names, and largest claims by name, the data also reveals that human names continue to trend into the new year.
According to a study shared by CBS News, the bond formed between a pet and their owner is similar to the one shared between a baby and his/her parent, so it's no surprise that pets are viewed as family members more than ever before. This has led to human names such as Bella, Lucy, and Charlie becoming more popular amongst both dogs and cats.
