Without actually knowing what this name means, it sounds like fun and is deeply unique. However, what you might not know about the famous name from the Harry Potter series, is that this name packs a punch. Meaning "poor quality tobacco", or in some cases "bad-smelling tobacco", this name tends to leave a bad taste in the mouth. While it might not be the perfect fit for baby, we're sure there are plenty of fur babies out there that could subtly harken back to the Friends era "Smelly Cat" song.
