That love is often shown in names for pets, according to Trupanion, a company that offers medical insurance for pets. The company scanned its database for the most popular names, pulling from more than 800,000 character names or inspired names that have been bestowed on pets. The top “Star Wars” names are Chewbacca, Luke, Leia, Obi (after Obi-Wan Kenobi), Kylo (as in Kylo Ren), Vader (after Darth Vader) and Wicket, who was one of the Ewoks. The top “Star Wars”-inspired names are Chewbarka, Vader Von Wigglebum, Poe Dameron II Duke of Whales, Bark Vader, ChewBecky, Luke Skybarker, Pug Vader, Furry One Kenobi, Luke Sky Barker, and Darth Meow.
