The Little Mermaid Dog Names

Introduction

Most of us wanted to be mermaids after we watched The Little Mermaid for the first time. It is a classic story that Disney took from Hans Christian Andersen and made it age-appropriate. None of us would have wanted to trade our legs for tails after hearing the original. But after watching Ariel trade her tail for legs in the Disney movie, it made us agree with Sebastian- "Life is better under the sea!" None of us could really understand Ariel's obsession with human objects, but then again, most of us collected shells and dreamed of living in Triton's underwater empire.

Max

When we are first introduced to Ariel, we find her ditching a ceremony and spying on humans instead. This is done to show us how fond Ariel is of our world. While she should be singing prettily along with her sisters, she is following a massive ship that is celebrating Prince Eric's birthday. This will be the first time Ariel sees her handsome prince and falls madly in love. She loves him so much that she is willing to make a deal with the Sea Witch Ursula to be near him. This might seem a little drastic to most of us, but without it, we would not have much of a story to watch.

But Prince Eric is not the first person she sees on that fateful night. Instead, Ariel is greeted by Eric's intelligent Old English Sheepdog. Max catches Ariel's scent, and recognizing her as a friendly being, immediately licks her on the cheek. Just as she is about to leave, she turns around and catches sight of Prince Eric who came to get his dog. If you think about it, Max led to their meeting. Max further proved himself a true friend of Eric's when he disapproved of the pretentious statue given to Eric for his birthday. The two obviously had a very special bond, because when the ship was about to sink, Eric went back to save Max who was stranded on board. Later, Max tries his best to save Eric. And with the help of Ariel, he manages to do so. In his eyes, Ariel was the perfect girl for his best friend.

When Ariel returns to dry land with her legs, Max is the first one to greet her. He is excited because he recognized her as the girl who saved Eric's life, even if Eric did not recognize her. All throughout the story, Max proves that he was much smarter than he is given credit for. He immediately senses something is wrong with Vanessa and tries his best to get her away from Eric. At the end of the movie, when Eric is marrying the right girl, he cannot contain his excitement and gives them both a lot of affection. We are sure that when Eric saw how much Max loved Ariel, he fell a little more in love with her too. After all, it's difficult to be in a relationship with someone your dog disapproves of.

The Little Mermaid Dog Name Considerations

As mentioned before, we all loved Ariel's antics. And as with most Disney films, we were treated to a few sequels and even a spin-off animated series. Although these were not as good as the original, they were still brilliant and made us feel part of the underwater world again. We got to follow Ariel's adventures as a princess and queen on land and more of her life after her marriage to Prince Eric. We met her daughter and defeated new and old villains alike. The Little Mermaid franchise is one that is cemented into most of our childhood memories.

The franchise has no shortage of inspirational characters, there are all sorts of sea creatures, humans, animals and mostly mermaids and mermen who all are worthy of a mention. There is no doubt that you have your own favorite since they are such wonderful characters. The names we chose for this naming guide are taken from all the works surrounding The Little Mermaid. This includes the original fairytale, the musicals and of course the Disney franchise. Your new dog will be swimming along with the best of them thanks to their new name. Any of them would make Ariel herself proud.
