Maverick

Maverick entered the American vocabulary through Samuel Augustus Maverick, a nineteenth-century Texas rancher who famously did not brand his cattle — leading unbranded animals to be called mavericks and eventually the word to mean any independent-minded individual who refuses to follow the herd. The name carries the freedom of the frontier, the refusal of convention, and the self-sufficient confidence of someone who does things their own way. For a pet, Maverick is a perfect fit for the non-conformist companion.

Maverick is a name for the companion who wrote their own rulebook on day one and has been operating by it ever since. There is a genuine independence to pets named Maverick — they are curious, they explore, they make decisions that are entirely their own, and they carry themselves with the confidence of someone who has never once questioned whether their approach is correct. The name has a cinematic quality to it, the sense of a companion who would look good against a dramatic landscape. For the free-spirited, boldly original pet, Maverick is simply right.
