What does Echo mean?
/ˈɛk.oʊ/2 syllables

Echo is the word for a reflected sound heard again by the person who made it. In Greek mythology, Echo is also a nymph cursed to only repeat the last words spoken to her, best known from the story of Narcissus.

Echo has a light, airy quality, a little mysterious and a little musical. It suits a vocal pet, one who always seems to have something to say back.
