Doggone names

What's in a name? For dogs, more traditional names like Spot are Buster are out. According to a study conducted by Veterinary Pet Insurance, the top names among male dogs are Max, Buddy and Rocky. For females, Bella, Molly and Lucy head the list.
You don't have to stray far from the pages of the News-Sun to find that dog names have gone wild. In fact, the April winner of the Tuesday Pets drawing is named Gannymede. Tuesday's Pet of the Week is named Eppe. If dogs are truly man's best friend, why do we give them such silly names? Poor pooches.
