What does Pluto mean?
2 syllables

Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld and riches, known to the Greeks as Hades. The name is just as familiar today as Mickey Mouse's loyal dog in the Disney cartoons, a connection that makes it an easy, playful pick for a pet.

Its cosmic, larger-than-life associations make it a fun pick for a pet with a big presence, whether that means a mischievous streak or a devoted, always-underfoot loyalty.
