Scooter is a top-tier dog name, hands down. It's got that playful, energetic vibe that perfectly suits a pup with a penchant for zooming around the house. Plus, it's a nod to the beloved Muppet character, Scooter, who's known for his go-getter attitude - a trait many of our four-legged friends share. Etymologically, 'scooter' means 'one who travels lightly', which is hilariously ironic if your Scooter is a hefty St. Bernard. So, if you're looking for a name that's fun, pop-culture savvy, and a little tongue-in-cheek, Scooter is a paw-some choice!
