It suits a companion with a certain elegance and a personality that feels equally at home in any setting: the dog who is as comfortable at a busy outdoor cafe as they are on a quiet country walk, or the cat who moves through the world with the assured, polished grace of someone who simply belongs wherever they are. A name with genuine presence.
