Meaning & Story
From the English adjective 'silky' — describing the feel of smooth, soft, lustrous fabric or hair. As a pet name it is a direct tribute to a pet's extraordinarily smooth, soft coat and gentle nature.
Silky is a name that doubles as a caress. It describes exactly what makes this pet so irresistible — that impossibly smooth, flowing coat that you cannot walk past without running your hands through it. Silky suits a long-haired, silken-coated companion perfectly: a Silky Terrier, a gorgeous Cavalier, a long-haired cat whose fur defies physics. She is the textural wonder of the household, and she knows it.
