What does Brownie mean?
/ˈbɹaʊni/2 syllables

Brownie most commonly refers to the rich, dense chocolate square, but the word also names a small helpful household spirit from British and Scottish folklore, said to do chores overnight in exchange for a bit of cream.

Sweet either way, it's a cozy, comforting name for a pet with a warm brown coat and an affectionate, homebody nature.
