Night

Night is the English word for the dark period between sunset and sunrise, from the Old English niht. As a pet name it evokes the quiet mystery, beauty, and depth of darkness — and often suits dark-coated animals perfectly.

Night is a name for a dark, sleek pet who seems most alive when the sun goes down — the black dog who blends into shadows during evening walks, the jet-black cat who rules the house after midnight. There's a poetry to Night that makes it feel less like a descriptor and more like a title: this animal belongs to the hours when the world gets interesting.
