What does Moose mean?
/muːs/

Moose is the English word for the largest member of the deer family, a massive, antlered animal native to northern forests; the word itself comes from an Eastern Algonquian term for the animal.

It's a big, good-natured name that fits a large, lumbering pet with a gentle heart — more teddy bear than predator.
