High School Musical Dog Names

Introduction

High School Musical is a Disney musical that introduced us to Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, and quickly won us over with catchy teamwork-inspired pop songs. If you’ve been a longtime fan of any of the three High School Musical films, there’s no better way to flaunt your adoration than by giving your canine best friend a name inspired by the series. It’s a great way to remind you (and the rest of the world) of your love for the films every time you call your pup’s name.

Boi

A canine character of note in the High School Musical films is Boi, Sharpay’s dog who appears in High School Musical II and III. Boi is played by a Yorkshire Terrier called Manly Ortega, and belongs to the films’ director, Kenny Ortega. Manly is considered a seasoned actor by all of his co-stars in the films. Who wouldn’t want to act opposite such a darling pup? Manly has even walked the red carpet with the cast at numerous events! Manly’s character, Boi, is something of an accessory to his owner, Sharpay Evans. Sharpay totes him around in fancy purses and dresses him in flamboyant outfits (would you expect anything less?!), and of course, he always has a stylish cushion to sit on! The confident (and sometimes conceited) Yorkie is the perfect companion for a feisty, spotlight obsessed actress like Sharpay. The Yorkshire Terrier was the 2^nd most popular dog in the years 2006 and 2007 (when the first two High School Musical films came out). The character Sharpay is always on-trend, so it’s no wonder that she chose this breed for her prized pet!

The Shar-Pei is a breed that may come to mind when you think of High School Musical. Not because the breed is known for its singing and dancing, but rather because one of the main characters in the film is named Sharpay Evans. While Sharpay doesn’t have excessively wrinkly skin, she is a strong willed, determined person who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. This is a trait that Shar-Pei owners are likely familiar with. Just like the dog breed, Sharpay is fiercely protective of the things she holds dear, and will not let anyone take what she considers hers. The Shar-Pei dog was historical bred as a hunting and guard dog, and is very devoted to its owners, and any livestock in its care. Though these dogs are loyal to their families, they may be aloof with strangers, just like the character Sharpay. However, once you win them over (the dog and the character), they make wonderful companions!

High School Musical Dog Name Considerations

Giving your pup A High School Musical inspired is undoubtedly a great way to pay homage to your favorite teen movie of the 2000's. You can choose a name that speaks to your pup’s athletic nature, or her sensitive artistic side. If your dog is an active, athletic breed you could name it after one of the athletic characters from the movie. Perhaps a member of the East High basketball team has a name that speaks to you. Or you could even give your dog a sports-inspired name, like Sprinter, or Trophy, to honor the athletic aspect of the film on a more basic level!

On the other hand, if your dog is an intelligent, independent type, and not necessarily an athlete, perhaps an academia inspired name is more fitting. you might give your dog a name like Scholar to speak to its propensity for learning. You could even name it for one of the students participating in the academic decathlon, like Taylor, or Gabriella. And, if your dog is the type that desires to be in the spotlight constantly, you might consider calling it Sharpay, or Evans! Picking just the right High School Musical inspired name might prove challenging, given that there are so many elements to consider. Check out these helpful suggestions to get you started!
