What's in a name? Ask any expecting parent, and they'll surely answer, "A lot." Choosing what to name a child is no small matter. In fact, recent data collected by BabyCenter found that half of new parents disagreed about what to name their babies, and nearly 1 in 10 new moms felt regret over the name they settled on. There are simply so many factors to consider when it comes to choosing the perfect moniker—from familial and cultural traditions to potential nicknames, originality, meaning, and gender neutrality—that it's a wonder new parents are ever able to settle on one.

In addition to those common considerations, parents today have yet another thing to consider: whether or not a pet parent would swoop in and call dibs on their selected name. With birth rates reaching a historic low and pet ownership rates on the rise, there's now a huge amount of crossover between those categories. Millennials and Gen Zers, who are less interested in having babies but together make up nearly half of pet owners, are now giving the names they may have once intended for their human children to their fur babies.

To find out just how closely the lists of top baby names and top pet names align, Spokeo analyzed data from the Social Security Administration and the American Kennel Club. The overlap might surprise you.
