Blackie

Blackie is a straightforward descriptive name: it comes from the English word black, used for centuries as a nickname for an animal with a dark coat. Names like this — Blackie, Whitey, Brownie — were common working names on farms long before naming pets after human names became fashionable.

Simple, warm, and a little old-fashioned, Blackie suits a pet whose glossy dark coat is their standout feature. It has an easy, homey feel, like a name handed down through generations of family pets.
