Meaning & Story

Flippy is a playful English diminutive suggesting something that flips — agile, acrobatic, full of movement. It carries a cheerful, slightly goofy energy perfect for a pet who approaches gravity as a suggestion rather than a rule.

Flippy is the name for the acrobat of the pet world — the dog who rolls over mid-fetch, the cat who launches off furniture at inexplicable angles, any animal who seems to have a personal relationship with the concept of tumbling. It's bouncy, joyful, and completely endearing. Impossible to be in a bad mood around a Flippy, which might be the greatest gift a name can offer.
