Disney-inspired baby names going extinct in 2025 as new girl’s name jumps up the list
Disney-inspired baby names have enchanted parents worldwide for years and it looks like for bundles of joy ready to make their grand arrivals in 2025, the trend to be named after a fictional princess, brave knight or a make-believe creature will still pull through. The power of Disney’s stories will still have an impact on baby names into the new year and beyond with some new ideas topping the popular list and trustworthy classics diminishing in popularity. Thanks to the Disney experts at AttractionTickets.com you can take a look to find out whether your baby has the go-to name, and find inspiration for new arrivals.
A recent study from JoJo Maman Bébé revealed that over a quarter (26%) of UK parents are concerned about regretting their child's name, with 24% finding it difficult to agree on a name. Disney names continue to rise for girls for the most part, with Sleeping Beauty's Aurora climbing from 49th place to the number one spot. Charlotte has had an unexpected rise to position two, likely from charismatic character Charlotte La Bouff from The Princess and the Frog. Disney has just opened a brand new ride this year at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom, in Orlando, which is likely to have bolstered interest.
Fresh, floral vibes and a charming and loyal personality has pushed Daisy [duck] up top, and Violet - inspired by The Incredibles - has also proved more popular once again. There's also a newcomer for 2025 - Riley - inspired from the Inside Out movies and will likely be a female name set to soar with the release of the second move more recently.

If you're expecting a bouncing baby boy then look no further than a traditional name like Christopher. Not as common in recent years, this name didn't even make the Top 100 list in recent years but has suddenly catapulted to the top, thanks to a retro interest in Winnie the Pooh.
Hudson, from Cars, will be heard more, too, but don't expect to hear much chanting of Arlo, Arthur, Elliot or Finn in future school playgrounds - they're becoming less used and dropping off completely.
Unpopular Disney female names include Isabelle or Belle, as modern parents fall out of love with the Beauty and the Beast franchise and Jasmine, from Aladdin is also no longer chosen by new parents.
