Meaning and background
The story behind Beauty
Beauty is a direct English word choice expressing loveliness or qualities that please the senses or mind. Its scope is broader than outward appearance, which leaves room for an owner's affectionate interpretation. The dictionary also uses beauty for an excellent or beautiful thing. As a dog name, it can be a personal compliment rather than an objective breed or coat description. The familiar spelling may also invite people to assume a particular story, so a short explanation of your own inspiration can make it more individual.
