Smokey
English origin
“Derived from the English word 'smoke,' Smokey is descriptive and evocative, calling to mind imagery of mist, fire, and mystery. Popularized by the forest fire prevention mascot and carried by musicians, the name has a cool, laid-back quality. It appeals to parents seeking nature-inspired, casual names with personality and vintage charm.”
