Brand Names for Pets

Walk around your neighborhood, and you may notice dogs with names like Dior, Poptart, or even Zoloft! (Yes, people are naming pets after their antidepressants now).

Among the fastest-rising brand names for babies in 2022 — the most recent year on record — were Amiri, Celine, Oakley, and Armani for girls, and Amiri, Cartier, Stetson, Heath, and Dior for boys.
