Choosing a name for a new furry family member is one of the most exciting (and sometimes debated) decisions a pet parent makes. Every year, trends emerge that reveal not only popular sounds and styles, but also a glimpse into how Australians view their beloved companions.

Whether you're looking for inspiration for your new puppy or kitten, or simply curious to see if your own pet's name made the cut, dive in to discover the names that reigned supreme this past year.
