Bubbles, a name that's as effervescent as your furry friend's personality! It's a nod to the Powerpuff Girl who's sweet but packs a punch, just like your pooch when they spot a squirrel. It's also a tribute to Michael Jackson's pet chimp, because who doesn't want their dog to have a pop culture pedigree? Etymologically, it's a playful twist on the Latin 'bulla', meaning 'bubble' or 'knob'. So, if your dog is a bubbly, knob-kneed, pop culture aficionado with a dash of sweetness and a punch of energy, Bubbles is the perfect moniker!
