Meaning & Story
A playful, reduplicative nickname, Dodo may derive from the Portuguese 'doudo' (foolish, silly) or simply from a child's repetitive sound. It is also famously the name of the extinct flightless bird.
Dodo is a name with a great deal of charm and a little bit of absurdist humor built right in. Whether you are thinking of the delightfully ridiculous extinct bird or just a name that is endearingly silly, Dodo suits a pet who marches to the beat of his own drum. He might not be the most coordinated animal in the park, but he is absolutely the most lovable. Dodo is for the joyfully clumsy, the blissfully oblivious — and we love him for it.
