Cute baby names for boys
Names shouldn’t have gender but definitely, some names sound more girly than others. We picked some of the best names we can find for a prince, with their meaning include:
Arthur
This is an epic name, firstly because is the name of a king and secondly because this name comes from The Sword in the Stone. Being one of the most epic and underrated classics of Disney, The Sword in the Stone tells the story of King Arthur according to Disney.
Bruno
If you don’t watch carefully Cinderella you might miss Bruno, the cute dog that becomes the protector of the mice. He is the best friend of Cinderella and is who gives her the strength to go through everything that happened in that house. One of his best moments happens in the end when he is the hero for some characters.
Bruno means armour or protection and he did just that in the film. Being good, considerate, and protective are positive qualities, ideal for somebody that will be the best of friends. This will be the perfect name for somebody who you want to see becoming a pillar for anybody.
Buzz
Everybody knows who is buzz lightyear, and if you don’t you should go and watch Toy Story ASAP. Buzz is a cute name for a baby because everybody at some point wanted to be like Buzz, he is brave, a good friend, and a leader. This name means village in the woods, a perfect fit for somebody that will be a free spirit.
Peter
Having a name like Peter means that your child will have very big shoes to fill. In particular, this name is even bigger outside the classic Disney film because there are so many depictions of this hero. The meaning behind this name lastly is youth, creativity, and ingenuity, this is because Peter Pan, the hero behind this name, will be a kid forever.
Thomas
All of the Aristocats fans will know where this name comes from. Thomas is the protagonist of the movie and one of the most loveable of any Disney film. This movie is a timeless classic, Thomas is talented, charismatic and if this is your inspiration for this name, be sure to keep in mind his talent for jazz.
Carl
We get to discover how Carl is deeply throughout the film. He is energetic, fun, kind, and loves adventure deep in his heart, and after everything that happens to him, we discover he is thoughtful and sweet. I think many of us root for him and came to love this character.
Dash
The Incredibles is an amazing movie and Dash is one of the most recognizable characters. We know, everyone on The Incredibles is recognizable but Dash is special because of his way to be. In both films, he is energetic, competitive, and wants to achieve everything he can but in a fair way and he is a bit of a prankster, but just enough.
Cute baby names for girls
We can’t leave behind the princess of the house, so here is our pick on the perfect names and their meaning for the girls. Again, names should be genderless, so be sure to pick the one that feels perfect for whatever you feel your baby would become.
Alice
We can say a lot about Alice but you can see everything she does in Alice in Wonderland. This name will fit perfectly someone creative, curious, and who’s always wanting to learn more. The name means nobility, perfect for a princess too.
Ariel
The movie and the book that inspired the film ends with a very different note but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a cute name for a baby. Ariel is a princess, the daughter of a god, and someone who dares to love and finally gets what she wanted. The name, according to the bible, means Lion of God, but if you don’t like that meaning, you can always just think in the mermaid.
Belle
All the girls that loved Beauty and the Beast when it was released loved Belle because she was very smart. She is her own heroine; she is also very brave, intelligent, generous, kind and she is willing to do everything for her family.
Mulan
She saved China, we rest our case. Mulan is one of the most beloved princesses, she doesn’t need any prince and she saved China, what else you could ask for. In Chinese, the name means “wood orchid” and is the name of an actual protagonist of a very popular Chinese legend, Hua Mulan.
Meg
Another girl who is a badass in the movie where she appears is Meg. Hercules might be the protagonist but she stole the spotlight after saying “I’m a damsel, I’m in distress, I can handle this”. Meg means pearl and can be the perfect name for this unique pearl that will be born soon to handle her life on her terms.
Merida
With a name as meaningful as “Guardian of the Sea”, you can be sure that your daughter will be her own hero. She is the protagonist of the movie Brave, which is one of the cutest movies made about a girl and her mother.
Moana
Another great heroine of Disney, Moana is a Maori name that means “Sea” and is a name that embraces freedom and bravery. In her movie, she navigates the open sea, defeats a lava god, and rescues a warrior, all almost by herself, a true heroine.
