Prepare to bow wow wow down to the most popular names people gave their pooched this year.

Rover.com has come out with a list of the most popular dog names for 2016. According to the study (which may "ruff"-le some feathers), "Results are based on analysis of user-submitted data to Rover.com from hundreds of thousands of pet parents, pet sitters and dog walkers."

Pooches named Max and Bella should be on cloud ca-nine because they topped the list for males and females, respectively. In fact, those led a charge of names that are human (something to think about when looking at the year's biggest baby names).

Going with a moniker that people can also have makes sense when you consider more than half of dog owners cop to naming their pets after a celebrity or TV/book character. Take a look for yourself and see if you find any of these names to be fetching.
