Over the weekend, we watched The Little Mermaid for our weekly family movie night. Neither of my girls had ever seen it, and somehow I grew up in the ’90s without ever having seen the entire thing, so big chunks of it were new to me too.
Since I’m always thinking about baby names, I noticed several really cute ones that would be perfect for a little mermaid or merman.
1. Ariel
Of course! Too bad the amazing red hair doesn’t automatically come along with the name.
2. Eric
Means “eternal ruler.” I guess King Triton has nothing on Prince Eric!
3. Athena
Ariel’s mother’s name is regal and gorgeous.
4. Carlotta
I love this Spanish name. It’s so exotic but not weird.
5. Sebastian
This name has been steadily gaining popularity, currently clocking in at 45 on the Social Security registry.
6. Gabriella
This gorgeous French name (which belongs to one of Ariel’s mermaid friends) is easily shortened to Gabby; perfect for little girls and grown-up women alike.
7. Alana
All of Ariel’s sisters have names that start with an A, but Alana is my favorite of all of them.
8. Ollie
The Ollie in the Little Mermaid is an octopus, but the full name, Oliver, is plenty popular for humans too, sitting comfortably in the top 100 for the last five years.
9. Melody
It’s no surprise that Ariel’s daughter is just as musical as her mother.
10. Max
Eric’s dog snagged a popular name for himself. Max has been in the top 200 since 1987!
