Affectionate Irish nickname style name. Cheerful and classic for a friendly pup. The name first shows up in U.S. records in 1928. 1934 marked its high point, reaching #1,397. It currently sits off the most-common lists, a quieter choice. Only about 341 children have carried it, making it genuinely rare.
