Pet Owl Names
If you are a movie nerd, then these owl names will be perfect for your pet.
Hedwig – Who wouldn’t want to name their pet owl Hedwig! It’s short, regal, and majestic… like the Hedwig from Harry Porter. If you have a snowy white owl that shows signs of intelligence, then we suggest giving him this legendary name.
Archimedes – Who can forget the wise owl from The Sword in the Stone?! He was introduced as a highly educated owl that taught a boy how to become the rightful king.
A little mean and with a perpetual frown on his feathery face, this owl won the hearts of some people, while it made others mad.
Dexter – The wise owl’s cousin from Winnie the Pooh is a great name to give to your pet owl if you feel that he’s your voice of reason, even though you find his silence questionable.
Following in his cousin’s footsteps, Dexter is sometimes serious but likes to play too. Is this a name that matches your pet owl?
Ibid – We all fell in love with Ibid in Hercules not because he gave its holder the knowledge of power but because of those wide adorable eyes. The name is short and cute and perfect for your pet owl if he likes to turn his head to the side and looks at you beseechingly.
Deacon – If your owl looks good in a bow tie, then we suggest naming him Deacon. This name was coined for the owl of Swamp Folks from The Rescuers. If you like dressing up your pet owl, then this name is perfect for him.
