Wyckoff's Most Popular Dog Names

Snoopy, Clifford, Odie—there are a few iconic names to choose from for new best friends.

Two Wyckoff dogs are named after Scooby-Doo (though one just goes by "Scooby", for short), but cartoon canines weigh little on the choice of nomenclature for township pups.

Wyckoff pet owners have given more honors to the New York Yankees’ longtime shortstop, with six township dogs (hopefully) responding to “Jeter.”

A look through the list of four-legged friends registered with the township clerk reveals some of the most popular—and unique—dog names that Wyckoff residents have selected for their pets.

The top five?

            5. Charlie, with 18 (one other pup goes by Charles)

            4. Maggie, with 21

            3. Molly, with 24

            2. Bella, with 26

            1. Bailey, with 35

Two runners up were Buddy and Abby, with 17 and 14 dogs, respectively.

Physical appearance may have factored into a couple of the more unique names on the township’s rolls, notably a Pugsley and a Waggles, each one-of-a-kind names in the municipal records.

And was it a thunderous bark that earned “Zeus” the mark of a deity? He (or maybe she) appears to be the only canine in Wyckoff named for a god.

As for the most unique name Patch found in the township’s records: one lone pup named Q Tip might take the cake.
