What does Pickles mean?
/ˈpɪkl̩z/

Pickles refers to foods preserved in brine or vinegar, a word that traces back to the Middle Dutch pekel, meaning "brine." In British English, the phrase "in a pickle" has long meant being in a tricky or awkward situation.

Pickles is a name with instant personality — a little sharp, a little silly, and impossible to say without smiling. It fits a pet with a tangy, mischievous streak.
