Flan

From the French and Spanish dessert flan, a creamy caramel custard — used as a sweet, food-inspired pet name suggesting softness and indulgence.

Flan is the dessert name that works harder than almost any other food name for pets. It is soft, round, sweet, and golden — which happens to describe a lot of wonderful dogs too. The custard connection gives it an inherently cozy quality, and it is just unusual enough to stand out from the Cookies and Cocoas of the food-name world. Dogs named Flan are often the cuddly, warm-in-your-lap type whose owners chose the name because it is impossible to say without feeling a little warmer inside.
