Luna and Max are the most popular dog names across the country, but are they Boston's? After all, Boston is not known for following the trend. So when it comes down to it, I suspect Boston's Top 10 Dog names are our own.

What will Boston's top 10 dog names be? Will the top-trending food-inspired names of Muffin and Miso take the top slot? Or will it be Roman, after the Red Sox's draft pick of Roman Anthony?

Take a look at rover.com's top 10 Boston dog names, see if your good boy/girl made the list, and give these adorable pups a follow!

Boston's Top Male Dog Names

10. Tucker

As the first newcomer to our top 10 list, Tucker does not hold a top 10 position on the list of the top 10 national listing of top dog names!

9. Winston

In the #9 position is Winston! This Winston travels and is an author?! What a dignified good boy!

8. Max

Down from the number one slot nationally, Max is still a top 10 name! This golden is ready to clean up the mess he made while you were gone for less than 10 minutes...

7. Leo

Leo is up from the #10 spot on the top 10 national list!

6. Ollie

A new comer to the list, Ollie is not on the top 10 list nationally! How's the saying go... ain't no laws when drinking with paws?

5. Milo

Down from the number four position on the Top 10 National list is Milo. Look how cozy Milo is! I'm jealous on these cold days!

4. Louie

Not on the Top 10 National list, Louie is making a strong showing in the number 4 position.

Looks like someone has a ruff life as he lays in the sun!

3. Cooper

Holding strong at number three is Cooper, who holds this position on the Top 10 National list as well!

We all know our dogs have another life when we're not home... but this guy just looks too comfortable with a blade in his mouth!

2. Teddy

Teddy is up from the number 8 position on the Top 10 National list!

Does it get more preppy than a dog named teddy?

1. Charlie

Boston has bucked the national trend and sent Charlie to the #1 position! Are Bostonians naming their dog after the Governor? Will Maura be the top dog name next year?

"Excuse me! This pupuccino does not have enough bacon!"

Boston's Top Female Dog Names

Boston's Top Female Dog Names have a lot of new comers to the list compared to the Top 10 Dog Names Nationally! Did your pup make the list?

10. Penny

Penny is our first new name on the list, as she does not hold a Top 10 National position!

Penny is destined to be a model with a shot like this!

9. Lola

Down from the #7 position, Lola is a strong number 9 on Boston's Top 10 list!

Look at those shades! No outfit is complete with a pair of glasses to show off your personality, and Penny has done just that!

8. Rosie

Unique to Boston's top 10 list is Rosie.

"Mom, this is my blanket! No touchie, no touchie, no touchie!" *Naps*

7. Nala

"Do I look sassy or serious?"

6. Ellie

Have you ever met a dog that doesn't love the sun? I didn't think so!

5. Winnie

Watch out for food on your counter! Winnie will be all over those cookies before you even have a chance to save them, but with a face like that, who can stay mad!

4. Zoe

Making a strong showing is Zoe, who had moved up from the #6 position on the Top 10 National list!

Watch out fellas, Zoe is on her way to the dog park, and with this new look she will be taking names and breaking hearts!

3. Lucy

Moving up is Lucy, who holds the #4 position on the Top 10 National List!

Clear eyes, full heart, big field, can't lose.

2. Bella

Once the #1 dog name in the country, Bella currently holds the #2 position on the Top 10 National List and the #2 here at home as well.

This must be what dog heaven looks like!  Instead of saying our best friends went to the farm, we should say they're at the big ball pit instead!

1. Luna

Unlike Boston's top 10 names for male dogs, the #1 slot for Boston's top 10 names for female matches the Top 10 National list!
