Luna is again the most popular dog name in Brabant. Last year, thanks to driver Verstappen, Max was the most popular name for the faithful four-legged friend. But Luna has regained the ‘pole position’ from Max, because Luna was also the most popular dog name in 2021. The strange dog name is also on the rise. For example, there are dogs in Brabant called Maurice de Hond, Wifi or Winston Furchill.
The list was published by pet insurer Figo, which conducts an annual survey of the most popular names. It is a survey among 62,000 dog owners throughout the Netherlands, including 3,000 from Brabant.
Even though Max Verstappen was very successful again last year, the name Max still dropped to eighth place.
