Meaning & Story

Say is a short, expressive English word used to get someone's attention or express surprise. As a pet name it is punchy and playful, suggesting a communicative personality.

Say is the kind of minimalist name that makes people do a double-take. It is almost absurdly short, but that is part of its charm — calling Say across the park has a certain poetry to it. The name suits a vocal, expressive pet who always seems to be trying to tell you something important. It also works as a subtle conversation starter; people will always ask how you came up with it, which gives you a great story to tell.
