Ratatouille Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

The Disney movie, Ratatouille follows the story of a little rat named Remy, who absolutely loves to cook. No one knows where this strange trait originated from, but when we first meet Remy, we see that through watching the chef, Gusteau, on television, he dreams of being a chef himself. The saying "anyone can cook" is what Gusteau pushes, and when the opportunity presents itself for Remy to show his skills, he does so in an unexpected way; through the human, Linguini. This movie is fun, adorable, entertaining, and delicious! If you are someone who loves the movie Ratatouille, then you have come to the right place in order to find a name for your own furry friend.

Dug

If you love Pixar, then you may know how much the studio enjoys sneaking little Easter eggs into all of their products. One such example is the dog, Dug, from Pixar's classic hit Up. When we first meet Dug, we see that he is a loving and slightly dopey dog who really likes to look on the bright side of life. He becomes fast friends with Carl and the young Russel as they head out on their adventures to settle Carl's house above the falls he's always dreamed of. While at first Dug may not be very liked by Carl, the fluffy goofball slowly grows on the old man and you can tell that warmth develops. While you may have loved Dug in Up, you may not know that his very first appearance was not in Up, but actually was in Ratatouille! You may be wondering how this could be, but if you watch the movie once more, you will catch the Easter egg right away.

Earlier on in the movie, when Remy is still lost down in the sewers of London, we know that Gusteau encourages the little rat to not give up, and to go above ground in order to look around. In order to do this, Remy must head through a few people's houses and at this time, we get our first glimpse of our beloved Dug the dog. Right after Remy almost witnesses a murder, when a young couple fires a gun into the ceiling during a fight, he stumbles into a home where he is startled by a barking dog. Although the shadow is all we are able to see, with closer inspection (and knowing who Dug is thanks to Up) it is easy to identify Dug's round form, floppy ears, and fluffy tail. What makes this Easter egg extremely cool is that it takes place about two years before Up is released, making it a prediction egg!

The name of "Dug" would be perfect for any dog, of any size, that shows those same lovable characteristics of Dug. He is a total people person and seems to know no stranger, but is definitely an underdog as he is quite terrified of Alpha and the rest of the dog pack. However, don't let that detail deter you from choosing this name for your furry friend! Dug is truly an adorable Pixar dog name that represents a lot of great qualities we appreciate in dogs.

Ratatouille Inspired Dog Name Considerations

When it comes to choosing a Ratatouille inspired name for your pet, a few specific qualifications come to mind. Truly any dog can rock one of these yummy names, but smaller breeds like the Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, Boston Terrier, Dachshund, or Havanese will fit rat names (such as "Remy" or "Django") perfectly. If you want to match the breed to the place where the movie occurs, then dogs such as the French Bulldog, Bichon Frise, Papillion, and Coton de Tulear are a few that could sport a French name beautifully (like "Collette" or "Gaston"). As for size or appearance, there are plenty of awesome options for that preference as well! For example, if you have a white dog, then the name "Alfredo" (for Alfredo Linguini) or "Pasta" would work quite well. Larger dogs, that tend to be big eaters, could carry names such as "Gusteau" or "Ego" (the food critic) all the way to the finish line. Overall, when it comes to monikers such as these, it doesn't matter at all whether or not your pup comes from the lovely land of Paris or not. All that matters is for you to pick a name which reflects how you see your pet in the very best way possible.
