Choco

Choco is an informal, affectionate short form of chocolate — the beloved food derived from the cacao bean, with the word itself coming from the Nahuatl xocolatl, meaning bitter water. Chocolate has been treasured by humans for over three thousand years, first as a sacred Mesoamerican drink and later as one of the world's most universally beloved flavors. As a pet name, Choco is warm, sweet, and immediately suggests a companion with rich, warm coloring and an equally warm personality.

Choco is a name that melts a little as you say it — soft and sweet and carrying all the warm, dark richness of the thing it references. Companions named Choco almost always have the chocolate coloring to match, that beautiful deep brown that catches the light and makes you understand why the name was inevitable. But Choco is also just a wonderful name for any pet with a warm, sweet nature — the kind of companion who is simply irresistible to be around. Short, sweet, and deeply satisfying.
