What does Blue mean?
1 syllableOrigin: English

Blue is a word name taken straight from the color, the hue of a clear sky. As a pet name it's refreshingly literal, with no hidden etymology to unpack.

Blue has a cool, easygoing sound that suits a calm, unflappable companion. It's also a natural fit for a dog with blue-gray or merle coloring.
