Build a shortlist of names for cats and dogs

Explore 4,606 observed name spellings in a structured reference for pet-naming tools, searchable lists and editorial projects. Filter by recorded animal type and observed sex, or browse short and multiword names.

Choose the detail your project needs

Name Directory provides the name reference. Species and Sex Usage adds 6,019 related usage groups. Complete Name Observations adds 8,956 monthly groups for exploring when names appeared in the local observation set.

Work in familiar formats

Every tier includes matching UTF-8 CSV, JSON and SQLite files, plus field definitions, samples and coverage statistics. Stable name identifiers connect the related tables.

Understand the coverage

These are local shelter observations covering May 2025 through September 5, 2026. They are not national popularity rankings or a complete list of pet names. Recorded sex describes observed use, not a rule about which animal can use a name. Repeated outcome events and distinct animals are measured separately, and grouped animal counts are not additive across months.

Names with digits or administrative annotations are outside this release's name-format scope. Meaning text is available for only 3 exact matches from a small historical sample and is labeled unverified. Most meanings are unavailable. First and final months have partial coverage.

Preview before choosing

Compare the separate table samples and measured field coverage to choose the right level of detail for your naming project.
