EDITOR'S NOTE

Bitsy is a name that screams "small but mighty", and I see it as a wonderful choice for littler pups.

It's a playful nod to the phrase "Itsy Bitsy," popularized by the classic nursery rhyme about a certain water-spurting spider.

And that makes it ideal for petite pups with big personalities, or ironically, for larger breeds with a sense of humor.

Bitsy also has a vintage charm, since it harks back to the 1950s, a golden era of poodle skirts and soda shops.

When I'm trying to think of a name that's cute, quirky, and full of character, Bitsy always seems to work its way into my mind.
