What does Moxie mean?
/ˈmɒksi/2 syllables

Moxie is an English word for nerve, spunk, or strength of character — the grit it takes to push through a tough spot. Its exact origin is uncertain, though it's often tied to a New England soft-drink brand of the same name that helped push the word into everyday slang.

Moxie is a spirited, confident name, perfect for a pet who's scrappy, bold, and never backs down from a challenge.
