Counts come from public open data: NYC Dog Licensing Dataset (NYC Open Data); Seattle Pet Licenses (public domain); Hundenamen, Stadt Zürich (Open Data Zürich); Pet Licenses, City of Richmond; Austin Animal Center Outcomes (public domain).

Names are counted as written, so spelling variants are separate.
