Meaning and background
The story behind Windy
Windy is the common English adjective for weather in which the wind blows strongly. It can also have figurative or colloquial senses in British English, but the everyday weather association is the clearest reading for a dog-name list. Unlike Wind, it has two syllables, usually WIND-ee. The spelling may remind an owner of the outdoors without demonstrating anything about a pet's activity level, courage or movement.
- Meaning
