Wrigley

Wrigley is an English surname of uncertain Old English derivation, likely from a place name. It became widely famous through Wrigley Field in Chicago — the historic baseball park home of the Chicago Cubs, named for William Wrigley Jr. of chewing gum fame. As a pet name it carries baseball nostalgia, Chicago loyalty, and a particular kind of American charm.

Wrigley is the name for a sports-fan household's dog, and particularly for Cubs fans. It has that wonderful quality of baseball park names — it sounds old-fashioned and entirely cheerful at the same time. Energetic male dogs who love open spaces, balls, and being generally enthusiastic about everything are natural Wrigleys. It's also a name that travels well beyond the Cubs — the rhythm of it is just fun to say, and the gum association adds a layer of sweetness. Wrigley is a name that arrives with a story already attached.
