And we’re not the only ones – Nextdoor members love their pets just as much as we do. After all, pets are neighbors, too! Our members have told us that they’ve used Nextdoor for everything from finding a lost pet, to starting pet walking groups, and even banding together to turn a vacant lot into a dog park.
In honor of our furry friends, we decided to take a look at America’s favorite pet names from across the country, from aggregate data provided by Nextdoor members in their profiles.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the three most popular dog and cat names are identical: Bella, Lucy, and Max, in that order. In fact, Lucy is most widely-shared name among all animals – besides dogs and cats, Lucy is shared by fish, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, tortoises, snakes, hamsters, rats, ferrets, goats, parakeets, birds, pigs, tarantulas, and donkeys.
From all of us at Nextdoor – we hope you and your furry friends have a wonderful National Pets Day!
We’re pet lovers at Nextdoor – a lot of the pets in our marketing materials are owned by employees. Riley, pictured above, is owned by Danielle on our Communications Team.

Excellent article, thank you. I enjoy reading these types of posts. After all, I have a pet too. Its name is maxi. I named him that because he was so fat. 🙂
