New York's Top Dogs

Max and Bella topped the list
Of New York doggie names.
Lola and Lucky, Rocky and Jack
Were other common claims.

Charlie, Buddy, Lucky, Teddy
All were top 10 males.
Toby, Oliver and Milo
All way top-tier tails.

Daisy, Coco, Princess, Molly,
Chloe, Sophie run
With the females on the list. 
Poor Fidos – not a one!

Every state most likely has
Its own peculiar set
Of monikers that people chose
To name their precious pet.

It’s curious how names evolve
From what they used to be.
I wonder who decides which gain
In popularity.

We had a dog named corky, a wirehaired terrier. We probably named him that because of his color. I enjoyed reading through your list of names Ilene and thank you for making me fondly remember a pet long dead. ; )
