Disney names for pets
- Hatter
- Hei hei
- Indiana
Origin:
American place-nameMeaning:
"land of the Indians"Description:
This state name emerged in the eighties along with westerners Dakota and Montana, and it's still used occasionally by high-profile parents such as Summer Phoenix and Casey Affleck. Action man Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) makes Indiana "Indy" forever cool for a boy.
- Jaq
Description:
Jaq is a compact, modern variant of Jack or Jacques, characterized by its minimalist spelling. This streamlined version maintains the friendly, approachable quality of its more common counterparts while offering a distinctive edge. With just three letters, Jaq presents a contemporary feel that works well in our digital age. Originally a medieval diminutive of John (meaning "God is gracious"), the name has evolved to stand independently. While extremely rare as an official name, Jaq might appeal to parents seeking something familiar yet unconventional. Its brevity and unusual spelling make it memorable without being difficult to pronounce, though bearers might frequently need to correct spelling assumptions.
- Jiminy
Description:
Jiminy is a masculine name that gained recognition primarily through the character Jiminy Cricket in Disney's 'Pinocchio.' Rather than having ancient roots, this whimsical name evolved from the euphemistic exclamation 'Jiminy Cricket!' (a substitute for 'Jesus Christ'). As a given name, Jiminy remains extremely rare, carrying a playful, storybook quality that evokes childlike wonder and imagination. Parents who choose this name may appreciate its literary connections and cheerful sound. The association with Jiminy Cricket—a conscience personified—gives the name connotations of moral guidance, wisdom, and friendly counsel. Its uniqueness ensures it stands out, though the strong fictional association may be its defining characteristic for most people.
- Jolly
- Kovu
- Kronk
- Kuzco
- Lefou
- Linguini
- Maui
Origin:
Hawaiian, Polynesian mythologyDescription:
The name of the second-biggest (and third-most populous) island in Hawaii was one of the fastest-rising boys' names of 2017. A major factor was surely Dwayne Johnson's character in Moana, the Polynesian demigod named Maui, a mythological trickster who slowed the sun to create the days. (It fell back to normal levels in the following years.)
- Mowgli
Origin:
Literary nameDescription:
The name of the young hero of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, who was raised by wolves (really) and becomes a genius hunter and trapper, was chosen as a middle name for their son Bronx (really, again) by rockers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. Kipling invented the name, whose first syllable rhymes with cow.
- Mufasa
Origin:
AfricanMeaning:
"king"Description:
Known for being the name of Simba's father in the Lion King.
- Matey
- Meeko
Origin:
Algonquian Native AmericanMeaning:
"little mischief"Description:
The name of the mischievous raccoon in Disney's Pocahontas is adorable for a pet.
- Mojo
- Mushu
- Nemo
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"nobody"Description:
One of the best known early Nemos was the captain in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, while the more familiar modern one is the animated little orange fish in the Disney movie. Unusual name well worth considering. By the way, there is also a Shakespearean Nemo and one in Dickens's Bleak House. An enchanting early comic strip by Winsor McCay was called Little Nemo.
