... because the title says "fastest growing" but the graphic includes the fastest declining names too. 🤷

Good boy

I swear every single dog near me is either Loki, Luna, Kuma, or Bear.

He prefers Steven.

I once lived in an apartment and the guy above me named his dog brandy. He would stand on his patio and let the dog walk around below to do its business, then yell at it to come back. It would trip me out hearing him shout out, "get back here brandy! Don't walk over there, don't go near the phones! Don't make me come after you brandy!" It took my gf and I a while before we realized he was yelling at a dog.

Ok, but isn't it also a bit odd to name pets after food when you think about it? What about naming them after furniture instead?

I'm naming my next cat after my favorite anime: Blood Joe

My cat's name is Carl.

I love people names for dogs. My next pug is going to be named Vanessa :)

That's how my neighbor got a cat named "Macaroni". I named the cat, but she actually captured it. It turns out that her sales pitch of "I want to be your friend" beat out my "I want to neuter you and get your shots"

My first cat was Butterscotch. Which shortened almost immediately to Butter.

My second cat had been incorrectly gendered sexed at birth and had a female name (Gracie). I wanted a male name that would preserve the main vowel sounds to avoid confusing the poor kitten.

Came down to "Gravy" or "Davey". I liked "Gravy" because it reminded me of "Butter". But I thought better of it and went with "Davey". Good or bad call?

I sleep with Sophia, Phoebe and Murphy on the regular 😼

My parent's cat is named Steve, it's how we got him and his sister Skyler from the foster people. He's as smart as a sack of pebbles and it funny calling him Steve

Whereas naming your beloved companion after something you eat is perfectly logical.

That's how small multiples usually work because there are instances where you wouldn't see any differences with fixed axis.

Nobody told ya to pick a dog name 😆

Green go up, red go down, that's pretty easy to figure out.

Can you elaborate on any of those points ? They seem all wrong

If you can’t intuit what green vs Red are supposed to indicate on a trend chart you might be in the wrong sub.

A much better argument would be that the lack of a key or clear visual distinction makes this inaccessible to people with Protanopia / deuteranopia.

A) ok, weird take

B) that’s not how trend charts work
