Rise of the Guardians Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

In 2012, Dreamworks Animation released the movie Rise of the Guardians which is based on the book The Guardians of Childhood by William Joyce. This story is told from the view point of Jack Frost, who was given his powers by the Man in the Moon after falling into a frozen lake in order to save his sister. Jack meets other famous character such as Saint Nicholas, the Easter Bunny, and the Toothfairy as they gather into a team in order to ward off the nightmares of Pitch Black, the Boogeyman. If you love tales about magic and wonder, than either version of the Guardian's adventures are most likely something that you have (or will) enjoy.

Pippa

Whenever we hear of a traditional mailman and dog relationship, usually it's that the dog will chase the mailman or merely bark non-stop until they finally decide to leave. Well, in the case of our spotlight dog, Pippa, there is a completely new dynamic that we absolutely love. This adorable Golden Retriever lives in Brisbane, Australia and when her mailman, Martin Studer, comes by to drop off the mail she gets as excited as a kid on Christmas Day. Studer loves dogs, and even dresses up like a Santa Clause mailman on Christmas to hand out tennis balls to all the dogs on his route; however, Pippa seems to be one of his favorites. If she comes out on a delivery day and he doesn't have any mail for her house, Studer improvises in order to ensure that she has something to carry back. In one picture, we see that he wrote "mail for Pippa" on a delivery slip and handed it to her. Taking it in her mouth, Pippa posed for a picture as happy as could be.

Because Pippa is a Golden Retriever, it's not hard to see why she would love retrieving the mail and spending time with a human she looks forward to seeing. This breed of dog is known for having a "golden personality" who is extremely loving and rarely finds a person that they do not like. What is truly heartwarming in this story is the way that Pippa happily goes out to collect the mail, and that Studer takes the time to make her day. He could just ignore her and go about his business, but instead, he is building a bond with a sweet dog that will always hold a special place in his memories as a mailman.

Just like Studer brings happiness to Pippa, so do the Guardians in Rise of the Guardians bring happiness to all of the children of the world. In both the film and the book, we see the Guardians protecting the innocence and beliefs of the children who hold them so dear. This is a wonderful, family story that brings joy to all who watch it. And just like Pippa and her mailman, it's a tale that never ceases to bring smiles to our face. If you have a Golden Retriever, or any breed of dog that is the embodiment of kindness, then "Pippa" may be a perfect name for them.

Rise of the Guardians Inspired Dog Name Considerations

A few breeds that would work marvelously with this theme would be a Jack Russel Terrier (for Jack Frost), a Hungarian Pumi (a new breed that has ears like a rabbit), and the Saint Bernard (for characters like Saint Nicholas St. North and Sandman). Because Rise of the Guardians is based on a book, there are lots of amazing character types to choose from. Whether you like fairies, rabbits, dreams, Santa Claus, or frosty winter days, there is a name here that will fit your pup like a glove. Personality wise, it is easy to see that a name like "Jack Frost" would be perfect for a spritely little dog that loves to get into mischief. Loyalty and determination would also be primary factors that could fit this title well. If you have a pup that loves naps and has a dreamy, relaxed personality, then the name "Sandy" (for the Sandman" might be the perfect fit, and this is a unisex name! When it comes to appearance, breeds that have somewhat of unique features or markings would be something to consider for names in this list. Papillons, who have large yet petite looking ears, or the Pembroke Welsh Corgi who bears the "fairy saddle" mark on their back would both suit a Rise of the Guardians name.
