Goldie

Goldie is an Old English name derived from the word gold, and was historically given to girls with golden or fair hair. It enjoyed popularity in the United States around the turn of the 20th century and was famously associated with actress Goldie Hawn, who gave the name a cheerful, luminous quality. As a pet name, Goldie is most naturally suited to golden-coated animals, evoking warmth, brightness, and all-around sunny disposition.

Goldie is the name for the pet who lights up every room they walk into — warm, bright, and absolutely impossible to be in a bad mood around. It is most naturally suited to golden retrievers, yellow Labradors, or any companion with a sun-kissed coat and a personality to match. Pets named Goldie tend to be affectionate and ebullient, greeting every person and every situation with the same wholehearted enthusiasm. This name is sunshine in two syllables.
