Introduction

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a popular movie and a book by Newt Scamander has been the talk of the town for quite a while now. The movie (and the book in the Harry Potter universe) is filled with whimsical creatures carefully collected and carried in Newt’s suitcase. Since there are so many options to choose from, naming your dog after one of the creatures or characters from J.K. Rowling’s fantastic universe could be a great way to give even more character to your pet, and have quite the story to tell when someone asks about their name.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Dog Name Considerations

If you are thinking of naming your new fluffy friend after a character or a creature from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you are in for a treat! Not only do you have a myriad of literal fantastic beasts to choose from, you also have a pretty long list of famous witches and wizards whose name could become the name of your dog! Giving a human name to your dog is one of the many options here, and choosing a name of a famous magizoologist can even deliver a very interesting backstory to your pup. Why not pick the name Harvey, after the notable magizoologist Harvey Ridgebit, a dragonologist who was one of the first people to establish a dragon sanctuary, now located in Romania.

Looking for something more exotic? What about Edwardus Lima, the well-known author of The Monster Book of Monsters, a pretty unique book with the affinity to bite off the fingers of its readers. If you have a big, black dog, why not name him Padfoot, after one of the Marauders? The options are endless, so have fun naming!

We didn’t know what to name out cat so we went up to search names. We were naming our cats Alexander Hamilton and Theodosia Burr. We wanted the names to be from a book. So we we went back on the hunt! We were looking around and found the perfect names! We decided on Potter and Bellatrix. Both are from the Harry Potter books! We might find better names but these are them at the moment!
