Tootsie

Tootsie is an American English term of endearment, an affectionate diminutive likely derived from 'toot' (a baby-talk syllable) or related to the informal term for feet. The name gained cultural familiarity through the popular Tootsie Roll candy brand and the 1982 Dustin Hoffman film, but as a pet name it simply conveys sweetness, warmth, and old-fashioned affection in concentrated form.

Tootsie is the ultimate cuddle-name — soft, sweet, and just a little bit nostalgic. It suits a small, round, utterly adorable pet who inspires baby-talk from every person she meets. The name has a retro quality that feels more charming than dated, like a name your grandmother might have used for her favorite lapdog. Tootsie is best suited to pets who are unapologetically small and fluffy and who fully embrace being spoiled, because this name practically comes with a built-in expectation of adoration.
