Banfield Pet Hospital has released its list of pet names inspired by the “Star Wars” franchise and gathered from its database of more than 2 million patients to find out which names were most popular, according to a hospital release. The search, conducted by the hospital's internal research team, turned up nearly 25,000 pets with names related to the films.
> Topping the list? Everyone's favorite Wookiee-Chewy (We know, we know, it's spelled wrong.)-the namesake of almost 3,500 cats and dogs.
> Four out of the top five names are Rebels, but No. 5 invoked the dark side hero-turned-villain: Vader.
> Even Jar Jar Binks had some fans among Banfield's clients-“Meesa SO HAPPY to HEAR it!”-with 17 patients named Jar Jar on the list.
Star Wars fever at Banfield didn't stop with clients, however-several associates named their pets after the characters as well, including pups named Yoda and Solo and a gecko named Luke Skywalker.
The full list is below.
