390+ Boy Disney Names: The Ultimate List Of Characters

Overview

Interested in a Disney-inspired name for your little prince? Look no further. Here’s the ultimate list of princes, heroes, sidekicks, and magical names.

Disney is synonymous with magic and fun. Many popular movies and TV series characters are also favorite Disney boy names.

Sometimes, badass boy names (for villains) might just be cool monikers for your little one. Or you can opt for mystical names from made-up fantasy characters.

“Flynn” and “Kristoff” are among the best boy names from recent films. But you can never go wrong with classic boy names like “John,” “Eric,” “Jack,” and “Phillip.”

Some boy names are also used multiple times across the Disney empire.

For example, “John” appears in several movies and TV series, such as in the following:

John Smith, an explorer and the main character’s love interest in “Pocahontas” (Disney princess movie)
John Darling, one of Wendy’s brothers in “Peter Pan”
Prince John, a prince name after the villain in “Robin Hood”
Little John, a bear and the main character’s best friend and sidekick in “Robin Hood”
John D. Rockerduck, one of Scrooge McDuck’s main rivals in the “Duck” universe
John Silver, a cybernetic pirate captain and the main antagonist in “Treasure Planet”
John Manly, a character in “Black Beauty” (a 2020 Disney+ original film)

Some Disney names such as “Prince Charming” and “Beast” are timeless, recognizable characters. However, they’re best left for cartoon characters and aren’t ideal for your baby boy.

We’ve listed 390+ boy Disney characters below to help you find inspiration in choosing the perfect name for your little prince.

Forest theme for the Lost Boys in “Peter Pan”
Pirate theme for the “Pirates of the Caribbean”
Race track or garage theme for “Cars”

If There Are Disney Princesses, Are There Also Official Disney Princes?

Yes. All the Disney princesses, except Merida (“Brave”) have love interests that are also considered official Disney princes.

Although originally known simply as “the prince” in the fairytales, Disney created names for these princes to match their princesses:

Prince Eric for Ariel in “The Little Mermaid”
The Prince (also called Prince Florian or Prince Ferdinand) for Snow White
Prince Phillip (also called Prince Charming) for Aurora in “Sleeping Beauty”
Prince Charming (also called Prince Henry) for Cinderella
Prince Naveen for Tiana in “The Princess and the Frog”; he’s a prince, but Tiana isn’t (she became a princess after marrying him)
The Beast (also called Prince Adam) for Belle in “Beauty and the Beast”
Aladdin for Princess Jasmine in “Aladdin”; he wasn’t born a prince but considered a Disney prince because of his princess love interest
Flynn Rider for Rapunzel in “Tangled”; also not a prince
John Smith for Pocahontas; also not a prince
Captain Li Shang for Mulan; also not a prince

Are There ‘Ugly’ Disney Boy Names I Should Avoid?

Some names might be considered unpopular as boy names but may be favorite or recognizable Disney characters. Aside from the villains listed above (but they make adorable cat or dog names), here are other names you might consider avoiding for your baby:

Dumbo – Flying elephant in “Dumbo,” but the name can subject your child to bullying because of its close spelling with “dumb”
Hades – Badass boy name after a character in “Hercules” but is also the Greek god of the underworld and death

Tips For Choosing Disney Boy Names

Consider the name meaning, spelling, and pronunciation,
Consider using spelling or language variations for a unique boy name (such as the Spanish boy name “Juan” for “John” or the Hispanic boy name “Santiago” for “James”).
Consider the characters they’re strongly associated with (for example, “John” is still considered a “good” name and associated with heroes like Captain John Smith in “Pocahontas” even if it was also used for lesser-known villains such as Prince John in “Robin Hood”).
Check for resulting initials with your baby’s first, middle, and last name to avoid funny or embarrassing results like “FAT,” ‘LIE,” or possible rude words.
