Our list is for the dogs is very similar to 2020, with Holly being by far the most popular festive dog name! There are more than double the number of Holly’s compared with Christmas position two, Elsa. ‘Holly’ and ‘Elsa’ are both most popular names among Labrador Retrievers.
As it should be, there is only one dog named Rudolph – a Cockapoo (hopefully without a red nose), but confusingly, Agria has two dogs named ‘Santa’ – a Portuguese Water Dog and a Toy Poodle.
And for the Christmassy cats...
