Bella, Max, Chloe, Oliver and Lucy were the top five cat names of 2011, according to Veterinary Pet Insurance Co (VPI), which sorted its database of more than 485,000 insured pets to determine last year's most popular pet names.

Rounding out the top 10 names for felines were Shadow, Smokey, Tiger, Charlie and Tigger. Interestingly, Bella also topped the list of most popular dog names of 2011.
