Annie Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Annie hit the screens in 1982 and became a fast favorite among children and adults alike. This beloved, red-haired girl, and, of course, her rescued dog (why we love Annie!) was played over and over by children around the world on their VHS and Betamax players. We especially loved the Otterhound, Sandy (portrayed by Bingo) who became Annie's best friend that not only started the series of events that led to Annie's fortunate outcome but also saw her through all the ups and downs on the way. Now is that not what we expect of our dependable and adorable furry friends?

Molly

Molly the dog reminded us so much of the sweet-faced Molly, youngest orphan full of hope and, on top of that, super adorable. Molly the dog is a tough little fighter who had a really bad experience. However, was rescued and doctored back to health before being put up for adoption for her ‘forever home’. This Jack Russell was very brave, having had a fortunate turnout in that she was shot and left for dead. But fear not, she recently had her first walk outside, after two months’ intensive and watchful care. We can just imagine her doggy delight as she would have smelled the fresh air for the first time again, strolling and being almost free to run and play by herself. After being moved out of surgery her entire experience resonates with the story of Molly, with a face any mother would want to love and cherish and her sweet but strong personality. She eventually escapes the horrible future she was destined for in the orphanage under the cruel care of Mrs. Hannigan. Just like Molly the orphan, although being the youngest, and therefore the most vulnerable, she beat the odds (like she beat Pepper in the face with a mop!).

By asserting herself when needed and never giving up even when everyone else wants to, our orphan Molly has a strong will for life and love. And that will have counted a lot for survival with Molly the pooch. We approve of the appropriate name and think her cute little face is just as love inspiring as that of Molly the Orphan. When the orphans all escape, Molly, of course, is in the group, and the one that won’t give up. Molly, our honorable mention, also beat her fears and past by surviving bravely the attack of a mean-hearted bully. We are glad that she survived. Now if we were to choose how to make up for all that Molly has been through, we would also choose the bright, happy future that Molly the orphan faced. With a new Mommy and Daddy, a warm place to sleep, and plenty of love, treats and outings. Molly deserves the best after what she has been through! May she live in happiness and an abundance of love as soon as possible! And a sincere thank you for what these kind doctors did for Molly.

Annie Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Partly because Annie loved dogs, we loved Annie. So we came up with a whole slew of cute and appropriate names. Two of them are the original dog names of the 1982 and 2014 films. Mo, the trainer (1982) features in this as well, as he played a big role in making the star of the show! Now before naming your fluffy-kins, observe and apply. Are there some traits to the shrewd and observing Rooster? We are talking some fridge or table raiding before you can even detect it, or shoe chewing, even bed sleeping on the sly! Then we have got you covered. Bright and sunny, always happy to see everyone? There is a choice of names from Annie herself, to the actresses portraying her. Or how about some combinations if you have two pups up for names? Warbucks and Grace, or Stacks and Grace! Mischievous? Annie and Sandy! If sister doggies are in need of monikers, why, what could be more appropriate than choosing from in the listing of orphan sisters or foster sisters from both renditions? If Annie is what you needed to inspire the naming process, all you have to do is visit memory lane, and browse our awesome list below!
