Out of these cute Disney girl names, aside from those listed above my favorites include Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty), Merida (from Brave), and Yzma (Emperor’s New Groove).

A little side note and a bit of a rant before we move on: I originally wanted to do 150 names for both males and females. In fact, I finished the boy’s list first and actually had to limit myself to just 150.

Then, I started working on the girl’s list. I struggled to scrape together the 135 you see above. Sure, there are a few more female Disney characters out there, but they don’t really work as dog names.

Long story short, Disney needs FAR more female characters in their movies! End of rant. Now, on to the boys.

For the boys, some of my other favorites include Hugo (Hunchback of Notre Dame), Casey (from Dumbo), and Wart (just because it’s a funny dog name).

Disney’s produced well over 100 feature films over the years, and countless (seriously, I couldn’t even begin to count them all) shorts and TV shows. That’s not even including Marvel, Star Wars, and all of the other franchises that they own!

With so much source material to work with, Disney fans should have no problem finding a perfect name for their new furry friend!
