Top 10 Dog Names for 2020 By Debbie Eisele

Film characters take the lead this year

Tasty Bone, a dog chew brand, revealed data that indicates almost one in five dogs were named after a film character in 2019. This year, data suggests that the names Jarvis and Loki, Marvel and DC characters, will still remain popular into 2020.

Another name, Harley, is expected to be popular with the release of the movie Birds of Prey featuring the character Harley Quinn of Suicide Squad. Of course, other notable movie characters always provide numerous names for canine owners to select from as noted below with some popular animated movie characters appearing in the top 10 names.
