Foxy

Foxy is an English adjective-turned-name derived from fox, the cunning, quick-witted animal that has represented cleverness and resourcefulness across world cultures for millennia. In English slang, foxy also carries connotations of attractiveness and magnetic charm. As a pet name, Foxy suits a companion who is all of these things at once: quick, clever, beautiful in their own way, and possessed of a certain knowing quality that makes you wonder who is really training whom.

Foxy holds #230 on the pet name charts and works on several satisfying levels simultaneously. It can be a literal description — reddish coloring, a narrow face, a particular quickness of movement — or it can simply capture the personality of a companion who is clever and a little bit cunning. The name has a fun, slightly cheeky sound that suits an energetic, independent pet who does things on their own terms. Foxy is perfect for the companion who always seems to be three steps ahead of you and is clearly delighted about it.
