Misty

Misty is an English name derived from the adjective misty, meaning covered in or resembling mist — that soft, atmospheric haze that softens edges and makes the familiar mysterious. As a given name it was particularly popular in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, carried by musicians and athletes. For pets, Misty has a dreamy, soft quality that suits companions with a gentle, somewhat ethereal presence — the ones who move quietly, have soft coloring, and create an atmosphere of calm wherever they settle.

Misty ranks #277 on the pet name charts and has a soft, atmospheric quality that sets it apart from more decisive pet names. It evokes early morning fog, soft gray skies, and the beautiful in-between quality of something neither fully one thing nor another. Misty works especially well for gray or pale-colored companions with a gentle, somewhat dreamy personality. It's the name for a companion who moves quietly, settles peacefully, and brings a certain calming presence to the household — like mist itself, subtle and beautiful.
