Max tops the list of 50 most popular pet names

When it comes to popular pet names, Max is top dog. Or top cat if you’re more of the feline persuasion. Max topped the list of the 50 most popular pet names among millions PetSmart PetPerks® members followed by Buddy, Molly, Bailey and Maggie.

Oldie-but-goodie names like Princess, Lucky, Lady and Duke dominated the list over more exotic names like Sadie, Bella and Lola, which came in last at 50. Eighties throwback name Gizmo, made popular by the 1984 movie hit “Gremlins,” also made the list at 28 as did Smokey and Bandit, which also have Hollywood ties. “Smokey and the Bandit” was a 1977 Southern-style chase flick starring Burt Reynolds.
