Disney Channel Baby Names

Disney Channel baby names are appearing not only on television but on birth certificates. These names have become more popular since the Disney Channel's debut in 1983.

Disney Channel has been credited with increasing the usage of such names as Harper, Miley, and Phineas. Disney Channel baby names range from the familiar and well-used, like Emma and Sam, to the more unusual, such as Zuzo and Topanga.

Along with Emma and Sam, other Disney Channel baby names in the US Top 1000 include Charlie, Cody, Fiona, Liv, Mason, Milo, Olive, and Zeke. Names connected to iconic Disney Channel characters include London, Perry, Raven, and Lizzie.

Baby names inspired by Disney Channel characters include the following choices, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
