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.
