In the run up to Westminster, they called on a name expert to predict the popular tags we will be choosing for our new pooches in 2010 and beyond. The name Casey came in at number one as a generally friendly name that's equally appropriate for male and female dogs. Vampire obsessed Twi-hards will be sparkling at the news that heroine Bella is being honored with the number three spot, while fans of the kiddie hit "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" have driven Chloe, its main character's name, to the perfectly respectable number nine position.
Here are the top 10, courtesy of name expert Linda Rosenkrantz for the Daily Beast:
01. Casey
02. Riley
03. Bella
04. Bailey
05. Shadow
06. Coco
07. Pepper
08. Dakota
09. Chloe
10. Oliver
Tell us if you've got a lead on the future. Have you already paid for a collar with one of these names? Or is yours on the Daily Beast's runners up list?

I chose Jackson for my new boy Shepherd. I am such a fan of Sons of Anarchy!!! And of course I chose Tara for the girl.
The people I got my puppy from had named her Candy. I didn't like the name although she does have a very "sweet" nature. My daughter and I renamed her "Twizzler". She is called Twizzler,Twiz, Twiz B, and so on. So far I have never heard of another dog with the same name.

My daughter recently got a puppy (chinese crested powder puff) and named her Yeager. Some people think she named her after the liqueur but she didn't. She thought it was a unique name for a unique dog, plus it's spelled different.
I named my Malti-Poo Kiley it just fits her, besides she didn't seem to respond to anything else.

My half Basset half Shepherd is named Machi. In Japanese it means "fortunate", so would that be me or her that is the most fortunate? She's my baby doll!
We named our yorkie "Mitzvah" which means blessing in Yiddish.
We call her Mitzi for short, but she is absolutely a blessing to us!
We had a 19 year old cat named Pinky. She was solid white except for her pink-tipped ears and pink nose. Unfortunately, she passed away last Monday. Tough week! I also have a dog named Magnolia (Maggie for short) because she likes to roll around in this ungodly smelling plant in our yard that makes her smell awful ( I only wish she smelled as nice as a magnolia..lol) then she proceeds to come inside and try to mark me with her smell by jumping into my lap and rolling round...too funny. Lastly, I have a cross-eyed black and white kitty who my step daughter names Tux (short for tuxedo). He has a great personality and walks around like he owns the world. Sometimes I really would like to know what our animals are thinking...we certainly could learn from their unconditional love..something the human race knows nothing about.
I had an African Grey parrot named Hawkeye and an Australian Shepherd
named Meriah. Our new Aussie (when we get her) is going to be named Blaze
or Elliott.
My first dog is Nanny ( a Aussie/Lab mix, 121/2 years old ) )because she was going to be my conpanion for life. My second dog Foster (White German Shepherd, 3 years old ) come home as a foster dog and after 6 months he became mine by default. I love him and the name stuck..
I named my dog "Bindi" after Bindi on the Disney channel because she loves to explore.
