What's in a Name?

Toronto's pet owners have come up with 385 unique names, and yet Charlie still leads the pack for dogs with 3,418 all-time registrations. On the cat side, Luna takes the crown at 1,049. 171 names cross the species line.

Note: The City of Toronto only publishes a ranked list of the most popular pet names each year, not a complete registry of every name. Names that fall outside the top ranks aren't included, so totals here reflect popularity rankings rather than exact citywide counts.
