Furry good news: the most popular pet names of 2018 have dropped.

Much like naming a child, coming up with the perfect name for your fur baby can take months of deliberation.

It truly is the first important job as a responsible pet owner.

Do you opt for quirky? Serious? Cute?

It needs to match your pet’s personality, of course, which may take a while to figure out.

…And it needs to be easy for you to call out angrily when your future pet runs into the local school and eats out of the trash.

It’s official- 70 per cent of Aussies watch Netflix with their pets. Post continues after video…
