Trivia Answer....Top 5

A few days ago I posted a trivia question, regarding the top 5 cities dogs are named after?

Here's the answer a day early! I originally said I'd post the answer on Saturday but here it is on Friday.  Now I suppose I should have mentioned that the cities could be outside of the United States. That would have been a good thing to add. Had that clue been added to the post would anyone have guessed "Paris"? I definitely would have guessed Paris. But nope, no Paris on the list. My biggest motivating factor to post this trivia question is because 2 of the 5 cities are near and dear to me. Without further delay here is the top 5 city names being given to little furries these days....it's a bit surprising!

5) Savannah
4) Phoenix
3) Rio
2) Dallas
1) Sydney


Can you believe both Dallas and Phoenix are on the list? I've heard in recent months the name Phoenix is on the rise super FAST for babies but didn't realize it's so popular for dogs too. As for Dallas, oh nothing delights me more than hearing or seeing the name Dallas! LOVE IT! To my husband: Honey, when are we moving back to the Dallas areas we like? Let's throw the towel in on this Fort Worth living! Sorry back to the names...

Sydney, Rio, and Savannah...Sydney takes the top spot?  I have yet to meet a dog named Sydney. Of the cities on this list Rio's popularity makes the most sense to me. Rio hosted the most recent Olympic games, plus there's been 2 big time movies named Rio. All cities but Rio are a bit surprising to me to see ranked so high as dog names. Surely Paris is in the top 10 because, I am rather baffled to not see it in the top 5. So how did you do? Did you have any of them on your top 5 list?
