Meaning & Story

A male pet name derived from the English surname Cobb — meaning rounded or stout — with the affectionate -y suffix making it warm and approachable.

Cobby takes the old English descriptive term for something solidly built and turns it into a thoroughly lovable pet name. It's the kind of name you'd find in a children's book about a sturdy little dog who saves the day. Cobby suits a compact, muscular dog who is surprisingly strong and endlessly dependable. He's not the flashiest dog at the park, but he's reliably the best one. A name that celebrates solid, unpretentious excellence.
