Meaning and background
The story behind Cooky
Cooky is a dictionary-recognized spelling of cookie. Merriam-Webster explicitly lists the final-y form alongside the more usual spelling and gives the familiar small-cake sense. This supports a food-inspired dog name without treating Cooky as a spelling error. The entry also records figurative uses of cookie for a person, but it does not supply a traditional personal-name history or make sweetness a character trait of a dog.
- Association
