Skittles

Skittles takes its name from the colorful candy brand whose tagline is 'Taste the Rainbow' — a product known for its bright, varied colors and distinct fruity flavors. As a pet name it celebrates color, variety, and an irresistibly sweet personality that seems to come in multiple wonderful flavors.

Skittles is a name that radiates joy the moment you hear it. It is most naturally given to multi-colored animals — calico cats, spotted dogs, or any pet whose coat looks like it was designed by someone who genuinely loves color. The candy association keeps it upbeat and sweet-natured, signaling an owner who does not take pet naming too seriously and values fun above all else. It also has a rhythmic, slightly tongue-in-cheek quality that makes it memorable. Skittles is the name a five-year-old would choose, which is to say it is chosen with the purest possible intentions.
