LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:


Roll over, Spot, Buddy 1 and Rover. Say hello to Cardi B, Harry 2 and Groot. These are just some of 2018's popular names for dogs.


KATE JAFFE: My name is Kate Jaffe. And I work at rover.com. And I'm here to talk about dog names.


GARCIA-NAVARRO: Dog name curator - who knew? - Jaffe says that pop-culture dog names are popular this year. Music idols 3, characters from movies, villainous names like Loki and Bane and Sid are up almost 20 percent. So...


JAFFE: In your neighborhood, there's a good chance there's a dog named Pennywise.


GARCIA-NAVARRO: Food names also got quite a bit of love, including brunch 4 names...


JAFFE: ...Like Waffles and Muffin and Biscuit.


GARCIA-NAVARRO: But the most popular...


JAFFE: Dogs with human names are bubbling to the top - Max, Charlie, Cooper, Bella, Lucy and Luna. And that makes sense - right? - because pets are members of our family.


GARCIA-NAVARRO: Kate Jaffe has a dog, of course.


JAFFE: His name is Oso.


GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's bear in Spanish. My dog's name, Kiko, alas 5, didn't make the list.
