Once popular, names such as Brandy, Scooter, Spike, Scooby and Lucky have fallen on hard times in the dog-naming world. Check out which male and female names are out of fashion in 2013.

We've already examined the most popular puppy names of 2012, but just finding out which names we're most likely to hear at the dog park wasn't quite enough. We wanted to look at which monikers were on the rise, so we dug a little deeper to determine the 10 trendiest names of 2012. To do so, we hit up Vetstreet's data, which includes information about 1.26 million dogs. We looked at where the names were in 2003 and 2012; those that moved up the most made the list. Of course, some names fell off the list completely in the past decade — Elvis, Ozzie and Cassie among them. Some of these were replaced by newer names like Thor and Athena that, despite a late entry to the Top 100, have become popular enough that they, too, were included.

Shaved legs, trimmed mustaches and long, luxurious coats — sometimes we think the Westminster Dog Show, which airs Monday and Tuesday, is like a red-carpet event for unusual-looking breeds.
