Kenny

Kenny is a diminutive of Kenneth, from the Scottish Gaelic Cinneidigh or the anglicized form of Coinneach, meaning 'born of fire' or 'handsome.' As a standalone given name Kenny carries the warm, approachable energy of the shortened form without any of the formality of its source.

Kenny is a name that belongs to a friend. Not an acquaintance — a genuine, through-and-through, always-picks-up-the-phone friend. It has a warmth and familiarity that more distinctive names can't easily replicate, and for pets that familiarity translates as deep approachability. Dogs named Kenny tend to be the ones who love everyone without reservation, who come running to greet anyone who walks through the door, who make strangers feel immediately welcome. It's an uncomplicated name for a pet who makes your life uncomplicated in the best possible way.
