Luna and Milo have been named the UK's most popular pet names for 2025, according to new figures released by the RSPCA and veterinary provider inspiring vet care.

Luna topped the list for female cats and dogs, with 31,900 registrations, while Milo was the most popular name for males, with 22,300 registrations.

The figures were released as part of Adoptober, the RSPCA's campaign encouraging people to consider adopting rescue animals and giving them a loving home.

The rankings are based on cat and dog registrations across inspiring vet care's network of more than 900 veterinary practices across the UK.

Bella was the second most popular female pet name, with 30,400 registrations, followed by Poppy with 25,800.

Daisy, Lola, Molly, Rosie, Willow, Ruby and Coco completed the top 10.

For male pets, Teddy came second with 20,200 registrations, followed by Alfie with 17,700.

Charlie, Buddy, Max, Oscar, Bailey, Archie and Monty made up the rest of the top 10.

The figures also reflected the most common names of cats and dogs coming into the RSPCA's care.

Country Medical Director for inspiring vet care, Richard Hooker, said pet naming trends often changed with popular culture, including sporting stars and musicians.

He said: "It's always interesting to see how pet name trends change over time, with some names having enduring popularity and other shorter-lived trends influenced by sports stars or the musicians popular in the charts.

"For example, although they haven't hit the top 10 yet we're seeing lots of pets named after England footballers after their World Cup efforts, and of course we see plenty of Taylors, Arianas and Sabrinas.

"But, despite clear name trends one thing is for certain, every animal we see has their own unique personality."

RSPCA Chief Veterinary Officer, Charlotte Beckett, said the charity also cared for animals with more unusual names, some of which were chosen by its teams.

She said: "It's not surprising that the most common names we see coming into our care reflect what the nation's top pet names are, though we do also get some rather unusual names here at the RSPCA, too.

"Sometimes they come to us with those names and sometimes we have our very creative and unique teams to thank for the wonderful names our pets get given, from the funny to the topical to the downright different.

"So if you're looking for a loving pet to join your family, maybe you could give one of our pets with a popular name a fresh start?

"Or maybe you'd rather take a chance on a rescue animal with a name as unique as their story?"

The RSPCA and inspiring vet care are official partners for rehoming and Adoptober, working together to improve animal welfare and help more pets find loving homes across England and Wales.
