Zizou

Named after Zinedine Zidane — the legendary French-Algerian footballer widely considered one of the greatest players of all time — whose childhood nickname was 'Zizou.'

Zizou is one of the great football nicknames, and it makes a brilliant pet name. It's fun to say (try saying it three times fast), has a wonderful bouncy rhythm, and carries the legacy of one of the most elegant players to ever touch a football. For a fast, skillful dog who makes everything look effortless, Zizou is the perfect tribute.
