Information from over 580,000 pet-insurance quotes was used by the website to discover the most popular names for pets around the country.

Sally Jaques, pet expert at GoCompare said: "Since spending more time at home in lockdown, the demand for pets has skyrocketed."

"While people have more time to spend with their pets at the moment, you also have to consider the long-term commitments of being a pet owner.

"For example, working from home will allow you to tend to your pets with more flexibility, but there will inevitably be more time constraints in a post-lockdown world, especially if you will be returning back to work outside the home."
