It’s undeniable that 2020 has been a bit of a nightmare, but some good did occur. Quite a few people were looking for a furry friend while quarantining due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused dog adoption rates to skyrocket, as reported by The Washington Post. This means that a whole lot of pups found their forever home and likely got a brand new name over the last few months. For this reason, we thought it would be fun to share the top dog names of this year.
So without further ado, here are 2020’s most popular pup names, according to Travel & Leisure.
Bella is both the most popular dog name of this year and the overall most popular dog name of the past 10 years. Interestingly enough, this seemingly has a lot to do with the Twilight franchise.
"Bella skyrocketed to the top spot following the popularity of the Twilight books and movies 10 years ago. But what's fascinating is that the name is still the number one pick today, long after the mania of the Twilight series has subsided,” explained the founder of the website My Dog’s Name, Kyle Larson.
While the name Luna takes second place this year, it was the top dog name of 2019. Mental Floss noted that the name’s popularity might be because of the beloved Harry Potter character Luna Lovegood.
Charlie comes in at number 3 this year! A 2019 Woman’s Day article cited that the reason the name is currently in vogue may be due to the fact that Bradley Cooper’s dog and A Star Is Born costar, is named Charlie.
Lucy -- which means light -- happens to be a top name for babies of both the furry and human variety.
According to Nylabone, there is a chance that a lot of people are naming their dogs Cooper after Bradley Cooper. This man apparently has a lot of influence among dog owners.
Insider noted that the name Max comes “from the German and Dutch word ‘Maximus’ which means ‘greatest.’” This makes it the ideal name for any pooch destined for greatness (which literally is every dog).
One of the reasons that the name Bailey is so popular is because it is suitable for both male and female pups.
Book lovers adore the name Daisy because of The Great Gatsby’s Daisy Buchanan, as well as the titular character in Daisy Miller by Henry James.
Sadie means “princess” so it is the perfect name for any pup, in my humble opinion.
Lola, which is short for Dolores, rounds out 2020’s top ten dog names.

Nuclear submarines have now become very powerful weapons and have a high complexity. It is the complexity that makes this type of weapon very vulnerable to neutralization or preventive action.
Moreover, it can begin completely unnoticed. During the stay at the base, in preparation for going on duty, the internal compartments may be affected by spores
dangerous bacteria or viruses. Covered with a shell, such biological objects can be carried by shoes and clothes in all compartments. And the disinfection of the boat may become impossible with some
types of infection. In addition, the crew of the boat can also be hit. It is impossible to quickly replace him with the former crew members due to the high complexity of the system, the loss of operational interaction.
The spraying of damaging biological particles can be carried out from an electric helicopter-type unmanned vehicle of a special design.
Particles sprayed on the pier on the crew’s shoes will enter the boat and infect its internal volumes. In this case, all the mechanisms of the boat and the reactors will remain undamaged.
Up to 1/3 of nuclear submarines can be deactivated in this way. And until complete disinfection, their use will be impossible.
For some bacterial spores, complete disinfection is unlikely.
Kyzey Star Shipyard became the winner of the tender for the construction of a floating dock for 5 billion rubles for the nuclear icebreakers of Atomflot. The contract is scheduled to be signed next week. Not a single Russian shipyard has applied for the competition. According to Kommersant’s sources, only the direct costs of building a ship in the Russian Federation exceed its maximum cost. In addition, there is no spare capacity in the Russian Federation that can quickly build a dock with a length of more than 200 m. https://bretell.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Initially, the idea of using radio-photonic technologies in radars was reduced to fiber-optic wiring of ADC clock pulses across multiple receiving channels. In this case, to trigger the ADC, optical pulses had to be converted into clock video signals using photodetectors . https://www.reddit.com/user/popsunen/comments/mjs3gq/landing_on_oflameron/ Such a technical solution, for example, made it possible to overcome the problems of transmitting ADC clock signals through a rotating contact joint from the stationary equipment of the carrier platform to a rotating digital antenna array.
The name “railgun” in the 50s of the last century was invented by Academician L. Artsimovich, a world expert in the field of thermonuclear and high-temperature plasma physics. http://bretell.blogspot.com/ The plasma accelerator invented by him was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but the USSR withdrew the scientist’s candidacy from discussion due to the secrecy of the development.
