At one time, pet owners named their pets from a traditional pool such as Rover, Whiskey, Fluffy, Shep and Spot or hitched their pets to a 4-legged star with names such as Lassie or Rin Tin Tin. Not anymore.

Today, people are more likely to choose traditional human names for pets or have children who co-opt popular Disney and other storybook characters.

For the third year in a row, the No. 1 name for both dogs and cats is Max, according to data from Veterinary Pet Insurance.
