What does Bam mean?
/bæm/1 syllable

Bam is drawn straight from the sound effect - the punchy, comic-book interjection used for a sudden loud impact or a big reveal.

It's a burst of a name, ideal for a pet with an explosive personality: the one who announces every entrance and never does anything quietly.
