And no matter her age, you'll know right away if you're taking home a pup deserving of an old lady dog name.
Old-fashioned names have been having their moment for new parents naming their human babies, so why not keep on trend with your dog?

Preschools suddenly filled up with Olivias, Isabells, and the occasional Magnolia.
Or maybe the popularity of classic names is just a case of "what goes around comes around" and it's time for these names from a previous generation to get a fresh spotlight.
