Disney-inspired baby names have always enchanted parents worldwide and experts at AttractionTickets.com have now used the UK’s top 100 baby name data from 2022 to 2024 to forecast which names will become increasingly popular and which could see their final chapter next year.
The Most Popular Disney-Inspired Girls Names for 2025
Aurora
Known as the “Sleeping Beauty,” Aurora has climbed from 49th place in 2022 to 12th in 2024, and is projected to hold that position in 2025.
Charlotte
Following a surge in interest, Charlotte has risen from 26th place in 2022 to a projected 5th in 2025. The name became more widely adored after the release of The Princess and the Frog , which featured the charismatic character Charlotte La Bouff.
Daisy
Daisy Duck’s charming and loyal personality has elevated the name Daisy from 99th in 2023 to 81st in 2024, and experts believe it will continue to rise as the name’s connection to Disney’s classic Mickey Mouse universe, along with its fresh, floral vibes, makes it a beloved choice among parents.
Riley
The main character in Inside Out , Riley is a spirited name associated with the beloved new character. Riley has surged onto the list, climbing to 38th place in 2024, and is likely to move higher in 2025 due to the release of Inside Out 2 this year.
Violet
Inspired by the character in The Incredibles , Violet has moved from 43rd place in 2022 to 16th in 2024, and is predicted to stay there for 2025. Alongside the name having a Disney-based appeal, we can also see that floral names have been on the rise, indicating that this combination of both will help this name hit the top 50 out of the top 100 list for 2025.
The Most Popular Disney-Inspired Boys Names for 2025
Christopher
While not as common in recent years, Christopher has reemerged, making it to 81st place on the top 100 baby names list in 2024, when it wasn’t even featured in 2022. This rise is likely to continue in 2025 and maybe thanks to Winnie the Pooh’s Christopher Robin, the ultimate friend and dreamer.
Hudson
Known from Cars as the Hudson Hornet, this name has accelerated in popularity, climbing from 43rd to a projected 14th in 2025. With a blend of modern appeal and a rugged, adventurous spirit, Hudson is popular among parents wanting a name with Disney charm that’s not overly traditional.
The Disney-Inspired Girls Names Going Extinct
Isabelle/Belle
While Beauty and the Beast ’s Belle remains an iconic character, Isabelle and Belle have fallen out of favour, likely disappearing entirely off the list by 2025. Isabelle featured in 43rd place in 2022, but hasn’t been featured on the top 100 names list since. This decline might reflect a shift toward less traditional and more unique names, as Belle’s timeless but familiar charm no longer resonates as strongly with today’s modern parents.
Jasmine
Despite Aladdin’s popularity and the live action movie release in 2019, the name Jasmine has seen a steady drop, going from 94th in 2022 to being entirely off the list. The name’s unique appeal seems to have faded as newer, trendier names have taken centre stage, signalling a generational shift in name preferences.
The Disney-Inspired Boys Names Going Extinct
Arlo
This name from Disney’s Good Dinosaur, has seen a dramatic drop from 18th place in 2022 to falling off the list in 2024. The name’s short-lived rise may have been tied to the movie’s 2015 release, but as other modern names emerge, Arlo seems to be dwindling.
Arthur
Though associated with the noble character from Disney’s The Sword in the Stone , Arthur has similarly fallen from grace, once at 6th place in 2022, now nowhere to be found on the top 100 list. Its drop may be due to a growing preference for contemporary names, as well as shifts away from older historical references.
Elliot
Although a main protagonist in Pete’s Dragon , Elliot’s magical charm no longer captivates as it did before, causing it to slip off the list, from 83rd in 2022 to not being featured in more recent years.
Finn
Known from Star Wars ’ recent trilogy, Finn’s popularity has tapered off as the saga moves away from recent memory. Sitting in 82nd in 2022, the beloved character’s name no longer appears in the top 100 list for 2024, and we don’t predict its return for 2025.
