If you grew up watching the cartoons Pingu the penguin or Oswald, I’m sure you fantasized about having a pet penguin. Who wouldn’t want to keep such adorable and chubby penguins, regardless of the cartoons? So let’s look at some cute penguin names!
Because penguins are not like other pets, it is technically impossible to keep one as a pet. Feeding them will be expensive, so we think you’d be better off with a stuffed penguin.
Naming our new pet is always entertaining, but naming penguins? Unless you’ve seen Madagascar, this isn’t a simple task. Here are some great penguin names to give to a penguin whether it’s your kid’s stuff toy or an actual one.
Names for Your Penguin Inspired Form Cartoons
In this section, we’ve gathered a list of some of the most well-known penguin cartoon characters that are popular among children. We all know kids love penguins, and they would be thrilled if their penguins were named after their favorite cartoon characters!
If you want to give your children a cool penguin name, you can choose from the options on this list.
Pingu – You don’t need an introduction to Pingu if you grew up watching cartoons in the 1990s. For those unfamiliar with Pingu, he is a naughty little cartoon creature that lived in Antarctica with his parents (as portrayed in the cartoon). Pingu was known for his crazy house parties and for always being hungry.
Opus – A penguin cartoon character designed by the artist Berkeley Breathed, Opus was a favorite of children everywhere. It was depicted that Opus was dressed in various roles, like a politician, garbage collector, newspaper editor, and so on. Opus was dubbed “the existentialist penguin” by his peers.
Chilly Willy – Do you remember the show Woody Woodpecker? It was Universal’s answer to Loony Tunes, and one of the animated shorts was about a cute little guy in a beanie hat who just wants to get warm and eat something. If you want a name that is something as cute as Chilly Willy name it after him.
Cody Maverick –A rockhopper penguin character that is 17 years old and has ambitions to become a surfer. Cody is depicted as a penguin who lives in Antarctica with his mother, Edna, and his older brother Glen, who is also a penguin. Considering that penguins are highly gregarious animals, Cody Maverick, a penguin that lives with his family, may make an excellent name for your pet.
Skipper – Who could forget Skipper, the penguin from the Penguins of Madagascar movie series? For those of you who are unfamiliar with Skipper, he is depicted as the leader of a group of four penguins that are plotting to escape from their zoo environment.
Kowalski – Kowalski is a secondary protagonist in the Penguins of Madagascar animated television series. He is also a penguin. Despite the fact that he does not have as much physical endurance as Skipper, he is a vital member of the gang. All of their plans are orchestrated by Kowalski, who is their mastermind. It seems like a fantastic name for a penguin, doesn’t it?
Wheezy – A stuffed toy version of Wheezy may be found in Disney’s animated feature film “Toy Story 2.” In the film, he is referred to as Wheezy the squeaky penguin, which means “Wheezy the squeaky penguin.”
Funny & Cute Pengiun Names – Inspired by Their Intelligence
Penguins have been discovered to be extremely smart and intelligent, despite the fact that there is no such thing as a test for IQ. Penguins are one of the species that are able to adapt to new environments extremely quickly. Furthermore, their social behavior serves as an illustration of their intelligence as well.
Throughout this section, we’ve put up a list of ten names that were inspired by their intelligence.
Albert – The great Albert Einstein was absolutely the inspiration for this name, as you correctly predicted. As far as we know, penguins are incapable of solving a relativity equation or providing you with an in-depth explanation of time travel. The moniker Albert comes from the fact that they are nevertheless intelligent in their own way.
Professor – The way penguins walk always brings to mind a lecturer I had in college, for reasons I can’t quite put into words. Consider the following scenario: Professor Penguin is giving you a physics lesson.
Tesla – The genius who solved many mysteries of electrical engineering!
Tony – And is the pinnacle of intelligence in the comic book industry. Aren’t you hoping that Tony will end up being a nice name?
Brand – This is the well-known physicist who appears in the film Interstellar. He is depicted as a bright scientist who is attempting to solve the gravity equation using his intellect.
Schrödinger – The well-known Australian Physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his contributions to quantum theory. Yes, we are aware that it will be tough to pronounce, but we think it would be entertaining!
Granger – That’s right, Hermione Granger, the bright young witch who knows everything about the Harry Potter books.
Dave – Dave is an intelligent penguin who has been the subject of years of research by scientists from the United States. Dave was discovered to be able to recall the faces of humans whom he has encountered.
Dr. Penguin – Doesn’t Dr. Penguin seems to be a nice name?
Banner – Dr. Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk from the Marvel comics universe, to be exact. When it comes to Gamma radiation, he is widely regarded as the greatest in the world. If you enjoy comic books, the name Banner is going to be a good choice for you.
