/əˈpɑloʊ/3 syllables

Apollo was the Greek and Roman god of light, music, poetry, and prophecy, one of the most important deities on Mount Olympus and a namesake still instantly recognizable today.

It's a grand, radiant name for a pet with real presence — confident, striking, the kind who seems to command a room without trying.
