Kiss Fido and Spot goodbye, and say hello to Buddy, Lucy and Shyanne Thailand Moo Goo Guy Pan! Petfinder dug its paws into its adoptable pet database and unleashed the most common pet names for dogs and cats of 2009, and their favorite unusual pet names of the year.

While 'Buddy' and 'Max' held onto the number one and two spot for dog names for the third consecutive year, 'Bella' made her first appearance as both a top dog and cat name -- possibly due to the wild popularity of the "Twilight" series. See if your furry friend made the list.
