Here’s another interesting poll on Oricon, which are Japanese favorite names for their pet doggies.
Momo (モモ) [translated as 'peach'] came in tops as the favorite name for naming both male and female doggies.
So here’s the combined list of top 10 names:
- モモ (Momo)
- マロン (Maron)
- ナナ (Nana)
- チョコ (Choco)
- サクラ (Sakura)
- ハナ (Hana)
- レオ (Leo)
- ココ (Coco)
- ラッキー (Lucky)
- リン (Rin)

So do you own a dog? And what is his/her name?
I always wanted to own a husky and name him/her Kiba. But they are just too big to be kept in apartments.
I had a dog named tato
I have an American Eskimo named Treasure, and as I am typing this she’s outside barking at birds or something.
On the subject of names, the most unique and nerdy one I’ve seen is my cousin’s Chow chow’s name, Ascii,.
@ Fabio: Oh what breed is your dog?
@ Coco the Bean: Haha Ascii, thats a weird geekish but yet funny name.
we have two shih tzu’s named oscar and saffi……how dull

I prefer neko, though I have no idea what I’d name it, if I had one.
