GLASGOW, Scotland, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Rocky or Rambo would get the nod if dog owners were naming their pets after a celebrity, a Scottish survey shows.

After Sylvester Stallone's most famous film creations come rocker Ozzy Osbourne and Elvis.

Overall, the study says, the most popular names are Snoop, Harley, Diesel and Tyson.

The survey was carried out by Pro Plan dog foods in the run-up to the pup of the year final next week, the Glasgow Daily Record said.

It also revealed the changes in the names given to dogs. Fifty years ago, George, Thomas and Arthur were popular while 30 years ago Jasper, Brandy, Rex and Molly were more trendy.
