Meaning & Story
A diminutive or playful form of pink, the color. Pinkie evokes softness, sweetness, and a light, rosy, feminine quality. It also refers to the little finger, the smallest and most delicate of the hand.
Pinkie is endearingly sweet — a name for the palest, softest, most delicate pet in the litter, or perhaps one with a rosy-tipped nose or pinkish fur. It has the warmth of a childhood nickname that stuck because it was simply too fitting to abandon. My Little Pony fans will think of Pinkie Pie, the most enthusiastically cheerful character in the franchise. A pet named Pinkie tends to be the one who bounces rather than walks.
