The Princess and the Frog Dog Names

Introduction

A recent, and rather popular, Disney movie is The Princess and the Frog. It is an adaptation of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. However, the Brothers Grimm weren't quite the first individuals to spin this yarn. It is possible that versions of this story (also called The Frog Prince) date back to the time of the Roman Empire. Traditionally, the Frog Prince transforms from a frog to a human only after a kiss from a woman who truly loves him. Often, this is the princess in question. The Frog Prince has been cursed by some evil individual, and only true love can break the spell.

Stella

The Princess and the Frog features a Basset Hound named Stella as a fairly important character. Stella is a gift to Charlotte from her father, and the dog provides a good bit of comic relief throughout the film. Stella can be found eating beignets dropped to the floor, and she is even dressed in a Roman gladiator style costume at one point during the film. Stella is also used to demonstrate that the curse is working when she recognizes Tiana as one of the frogs.

Stella is a rather popular name for a variety of highly recognizable dogs. The first Stella featured in this article is Stella, a French Bulldog (played by a Frenchie named Brigitte) in the TV series Modern Family. She belongs to the Pritchett family, and she typically plays a very antagonistic part. She is often destructive, particularly with Gloria's belongings. Stella came to the Pritchett family after belonging to a dog trainer who could no longer keep her. The dog trainer in question had decided to return to school and re-homed the pup with the family. Father Jay is especially close to Stella, even though he wasn't exactly crazy about the idea of taking Stella in the beginning. Stella is known for chewing on Gloria's shoes, and she spends an entire episode diving into the family pool. Gloria dives in to save Stella from what she believes is the dog drowning, getting drenched in the process. Jay spends the bulk of time playing with and doting on Stella, and Gloria often chides Jay that he loves the dog more than he loves her. Jay has even bought a diamond collar for the pooch.

Modern Family's Stella is not the only Stella in the pop culture realm. One Stella has a rather large following on Facebook - 55,000 followers to be exact - and she is also popular on Instagram as well. A yellow Labrador Retriever, many of Stella's posts involve her playing with her "sister," Piper. Her bio states that Stella loves to play in water, mud, snow (anything wet), and she loves to play fetch with anything portable in her owner's yard. She resides in Maine with her family, and her owners boast that Stella loves everyone. Her videos draw a great deal of online attention, and her followers enjoy watching her antics. She is curious and fearless!

The Princess and the Frog Dog Name Considerations

The Princess and the Frog is set in Louisiana, particularly New Orleans. For this reason, many breeds popular to the South and Louisiana in particular are suited for names inspired by the Disney hit. Labrador Retrievers and Beagles are popular pets in addition to being great hunting companions. (Hunting is one of the most popular pastimes in Louisiana. One of the most popular nicknames for the state is "Sportsman's Paradise.")

Working dogs such as the German Shepherd are popular in New Orleans. In addition, the Golden Retriever is a family companion as well as a service dog; he is immensely popular in Cajun Country. The Boxer, the Bulldog, and the Rottweiler are considered great guard dogs, and they are very popular in Louisiana. Finally, for the lady who likes a small, delicate pup, the Yorkshire Terrier and the French Bulldog are also highly sought out.

Although these are the most popular breeds in Louisiana, many hunters do purchase a variety of hound dogs in order to enjoy the Sportsman's Paradise. Hounds in particular are especially fitting of a name inspired by The Princess and the Frog. The Catahoula Cur (Leopard) dog is the state dog of Louisiana. Certainly, this dog deserves a The Princess and the Frog inspired name.
