These are the most popular cat and dog names of 2022

For years I have been convinced that my cats have the best names (Jinxy and Pebbles: brilliant, if I may say so), but they have never really become popular. No, since the release of The Lion King, people prefer to name their cat Simba. Personally, I think Mufasa sounds much cooler, but he doesn't make it onto the list of most popular names either. Which ones do make it onto that list? Check below, because Ohra has announced the top 5 most popular cat and dog names. Notably: this varies by female or male, while I know plenty of female dogs named Freddy or Guus. But anyway, here it comes, in case you need some inspiration.
