If your pup was born with a silver spoon in its mouth, it’ll take to one of these Disney dog names immediately. Don’t let that royal blood fool you, though—these princesses have held their own during some seriously tough circumstances.

In a league of their own, these characters have enough personality to headline feature films that drew massive audiences. You already know your dog is a star, so you need a name that fits! But if your pup is more comedy lead than dramatic hero, maybe go with one of these funny dog names instead.

Our favorite heroes (and villains!) would be nothing without these special members of their crew. Your pooch is the best sidekick you’ll ever have, so why not name it after one of the most supportive Disney characters? Sidekicks bring the humor too, so if your furry friend is the sort of goofball to end up in funny dog photos, you’ll find the perfect name on this list.

Fido may be a classic dog name worthy of funny dog memes, but it’s not what you’d call a super name. With Marvel a major player in the world of Disney, you simply can’t overlook these strong superhero names—they’re perfect for guard dogs.

If your pup has a sneaky side (or is a bit overdramatic), a name shared by a Disney villain may not be too off the mark. As long as your pooch keeps its crimes limited to begging for food and taking up too much room on the couch, you probably have nothing to worry about.
