IS your pet a Poppy or a Charlie?
If so, you are not alone.
Poppy is the most popular dog or cat name in Worcestershire according to research carried out recently by insurance company, GoCompare.
The firm analysed more than 500,000 pet names in its pet insurance quote database to create a top ten for the county.
The list is:
1. Poppy - 40 pets are named this
2. Charlie - 26
3. Bella - 26
4. Alfie - 25
5. Luna - 24
6. Molly - 23
7. Bailey - 22
8. Max - 22
9. Millie - 20
10. Oscar - 20
Pet owners in Worcestershire are not entirely unique - the top ten list is similar to the UK's most popular pet names. But it does show that Luna and Millie don't feature so highly outside of this county, while Lola and Daisy are popular in the UK, but not so much in Worcestershire.
Here's the UK's top ten list:
1. Bella - 6,635 pets are named this in the UK
2. Poppy - 6,478
3. Alfie - 6,426
4. Charlie - 5,301
5. Molly - 4,784
6. Max - 4,570
7. Lola - 4,548
8. Oscar - 4,004
9. Daisy - 3,990
10. Bailey - 3,965
