Meaning & Story
English name, variant of Dolly or diminutive of Dallas, suggesting a breezy, cheerful quality with a slight Western edge.
Dally has a light-footed, carefree quality — like someone skipping rather than walking. It suits a quick, playful dog or a cat who flits from one fascination to the next without ever quite settling. There's a country-girl energy to it that is simultaneously modern and timeless. Pets named Dally tend to keep their humans on their toes, which makes life considerably more interesting.
