90 Disney Themed Pet Names

Disney is a household name in many homes. Dedicated fans fill rooms with Mickey statues, stream Pixar movies on Disney+, and wear character T-shirts as a badge of honor. Diehard Disney enthusiasts even pass their obsession onto their pets with themed collars, cutesie costumes, and pet names.

If you’re a lover of all things Disney, you’ve likely already considered naming your cat or dog after one of your favorite characters. However, if you’re unsure what moniker to give your pet, we have plenty of suggestions.

90 Disney Pet Names

These Disney pet names are inspired by some of the most popular animal characters and a few other recognizable Disney faces. This list by no means includes every single Disney-influenced pet name (a list like that would go “to infinity and beyond”), but it does give you 90 ideas to get the wheels turning.

Popular Disney Dogs That Make Perfect Pet Names

How Do You Choose the Perfect Pet Name?

There’s no set rule about how to pick a pet name. If you love a particular name for your precious pooch or feisty feline, then commit to it. Nobody’s going to come after you and tell you did something wrong. There are no pet-name police.

However, choosing a name is a big decision and it isn’t like you can change it every other week. (Your pet would be really confused if you did.) Therefore, having a bit of guidance on how to find the best name for your pet can help.

Many new pet parents like to get to know their pets for a few days to get a feeling of their personality. In some cases, your pet might do something that gives you an idea. For example, your new puppy constantly breaks out of their crate, leading you to dub them Houdini. Or your cat sheds like crazy, earning them the name Furball.

You can also peruse lists of top dog names and top cat names. But, for many pet lovers, name ideas come from their own personal favorites, whether it is candy, cars, or Disney characters. Therefore, choose a name for your pet that you love.

The Perfect Pet Name Is the One You Love

No matter what you decide to call your pet, it’s the right choice. Naming your pet is a personal decision that you get to make. If you’re a Disney fan, finding inspiration in the chronicles of Disney movies and history is a great idea. Whether you have a cat named Figaro or a pup named Pluto, your pet will love their name, just as much as they love you.
