Lucky

Common dog name

Lucky describes having good fortune—events going in your favor by chance rather than effort.

A lucky guess turns out right without real knowledge behind it.

Lucky can describe the person who benefits (You're so lucky!), the event itself (a lucky break), or objects believed to bring fortune (lucky charm), (lucky socks).

To get lucky often means to succeed unexpectedly, though in casual use it specifically means finding a sexual partner.
