Sally

Sally is a Hebrew-origin name, a diminutive of Sarah meaning "princess" or "noblewoman." It has a cheerful, bouncy quality that made it a staple of mid-20th century American naming culture, and while it has been somewhat eclipsed by other names, it retains a warm, wholesome appeal. For pets, Sally carries the uncomplicated goodness of a name from a simpler era — friendly, bright, and entirely without pretension, with just enough spunk to keep it interesting.

Sally ranks #269 on the pet name charts and has a breezy, old-fashioned charm that makes it genuinely endearing in the modern world. Its Hebrew roots through Sarah mean "princess," and while Sally doesn't wear its royal heritage heavily, there is often a certain confident self-assurance about companions who bear it. It's the name of a companion who is simply, cheerfully, completely themselves — energetic without being overwhelming, friendly without being needy. Sally is the companion who brightens every walk and every room.
