Here are the most popular names for cats and dogs in 2017

Do you have a dog or a cat?

If you do, they probably have a name. Generally, when people buy pets they decide to call them something catchy or adorable or a gas human sounding name for the craic. For example, if you have a dog you might decide to call it Frank because Frank is a hilarious name for any kind of animal. Similarly, if you're considering getting a pet anytime soon, you may now be thinking about what you might decide to call said pet. Picking a name can be a laborious and sometimes even stressful process, so in order to make it all a bit easier, Argos have gone and compiled some handy lists of the most popular names for cats and dogs for 2017.
