Looking for some cute and clever names from Harry Potter for pets? I love all things Wizarding World, so I’m super excited to share my list with you!

60 Pet Names Inspired by Harry Potter
Every single name below comes directly from the Wizarding World. I tried to include a good mix of both “common” and unique ideas. In some cases, I used the first name. In others the last. Sometimes, both work well, so I used them as separate entries.
The list is separated into male, female and gender-neutral names based on their genders (or lack thereof) in the books. That said, don’t feel like you have to choose from one specific list. Pick a name that speaks to you and run with it, even if it’s a male character’s name for a female or vice-versa.
