Cute Puppy Names from Cartoons
Is there anything more filled with cuteness than cartoons? Probably not. Animated movies offer pet parents a myriad of fluffy, oval, big-eyed, charming, colorful and endearing characters to choose from. It’s both their looks and personality that we can match with our real-life pet friends. Let’s have a look at a few examples of cute dog names from cartoons:
- Mike Wazowski (Monsters University) – it’s a one-eyed green ball with a sweet smile; owners of cute dog boys with green eyes could be happy with that name. It’s a bit lengthy, yet funny and cute at the same time. You can go for a short version – Mikey.
- Dug (Up) – this pup is an embodiment of a loving friend who looks like a regular dog but will never give up on you. It’s brown, slightly stocky and has angel eyes.
- Olaf (Frozen) – that one will be suitable for people who have doggies as white as snow. You may use it for a dog who is generally cheerful and funny yet distant at times.
- Dumbo (Dumbo) – the cutest elephant with blue eyes and overwhelmingly big ears. If you have a grayish dog that is a bundle of joy, this name might be just perfect.
- Susuwatari (Spirited Away) – how about calling your dog Susu in honor of spider-like creatures that are made of soot and run around in abandon houses? This is an option that will ideally go with a black, skittish but incredibly lovable dog.
