Fauci was one of the most popular pet names of 2021 – shooting up 270% from 2020. The pet name Covid also vaulted 35%, and dogs named Zoom were up 443% to commemorate a work-from-home life. Dogs named Zoom deserve extra kudos considering bosses may not know if a worker is frustrated with their computer or pooch on a given day. Siri and Google also were technology-inspired pet names on the rise.
