Many Disney fans love the names in their favorite movies and TV shows so much, they name their pets after them. In 2025, the list of most popular dog names included pop culture favorites such as Nala, Oliver, Loki, Thor, and Simba, all making the top 100. Other names that coincidentally are also the names of Disney characters also made the list, including Daisy, Coco, Bruno, Finn, and others.
Many love Disney so much that they name their fur babies after the films, but are you a big enough fan to name your child after them? Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is a common practice as well amongst the passionate fandom.
The Most Popular Disney Baby Names
Hennessey Digital determined the most popular Disney baby names based on data from 2023, and the number that year might be higher than you’d think.
