Rey

Rey is a Spanish surname meaning king, from the Latin rex. It became a widely recognized name through the Star Wars sequel trilogy, where Rey is the central protagonist — a self-made hero who discovers her own strength and lineage. The name is gender-neutral in practice and carries a clean, powerful directness.

Rey is a name for a pet who figured themselves out early and never looked back. It has a sharp, clean sound — one syllable with genuine punch — and the Star Wars connection makes it immediately recognizable to a huge audience. The Spanish meaning of king or queen adds a quiet regality. Rey works on any gender, any breed, any animal who moves through the world with quiet confidence and doesn't need much approval. Simple, strong, and impossible to forget.
