17 Again Inspired Dog Names

If you are not yet sure whether you want to consider 17 Again dog names, then think of the possibilities of the name itself instead of only the film from which it originates. For example, the names Maggie and Ned appear not only in 17 Again, but pop culture in movies too.

Maggie is a Labrador Retriever that appeared in the 1994 film The Wild River, starring Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep. Maggie is a family dog that accompanies a man, woman, and child, on a white water rafting trip. During this adventurous outing, they come across two men, guides, who they begin to learn are armed killers.

During the trip, Maggie wanders off and begins barking and digging at something located along the canyon wall. It’s a body, and one of the guides who killed the man quickly disrupts Maggie before her family can learn what she has found.

Once the family realizes that the guides are killers, a gun comes out, and the guides fire shots. Maggie avoids a bullet and runs off. Eventually, the family - including Maggie - make it out alive.

Maggie also appears in 17 Again as Mike and Scarlet’s daughter, played by Michelle Trachtenberg. Maggie is 18 and dates Stan from a basketball team.

Also appearing in pop culture and 17 Again is Ned. Ned is an American Bulldog in the 2007 Australian film The Number 23. The movie, starring Jim Carrey, is about a man who believes a book was written about him and begins obsessing. Ned plays the role of a dog that bit Walter’s hand. While Ned’s role in the movie is small, it’s not insignificant. The main character, Walter, is an animal control officer, which is why it makes sense for him to get bitten.

In the film, Agatha, his wife, sees a book called The Number 23 in a bookstore and buys it for Walter for his birthday. As he reads it, he begins to see similarities between himself and the book’s main character. Walter then believes the book is written about him, trying to connect all the dots. His wife thinks he’s crazy, but he sets out to find the book’s author to get answers.

Ned has a more prominent role in 17 Again as Ned Gold - a teen and adult played by Thomas Lennon and Tyler Steelman. Because the movie goes back in time, most main characters have a younger and older version of them.
