Adella is one of King Triton's daughters in The Little Mermaid, a sister to Alana, Andrina, and the movie's heroine, Ariel - the King clearly believed in same-letter siblings.

Prince Caspian is a leading heroic figure in several of the Chronicles of Narnia books by C.S. Lewis and in the Disney-released film interpretations of those books. Lewis was inspired by the name of the Caspian Sea, the salty body of water between Asia and Europe. Although this evocative name isn't found in most baby name books or on any popularity lists as yet, it has definite potential for wider use.

Princess Aurora is the romantic heroine of Sleeping Beauty, and her name projects that same romantic aura. In ancient myth, Aurora was the lovely goddess of the dawn, whose tears turned into the morning dew. Aurora, which can have the peppy nickname Rory, is now the most popular it has ever been, standing just outside the Top 200 on the Social Security list.

The Little Mermaid's Eric is one Disney Prince who actually hails from a real country - Denmark - and one who has real-life marine skills and duties. Eric is the single most popular Scandinavian name ever in the United States: it has been consistently in the Top 100 since 1950, and brings to mind the authentic Viking hero Erik the Red.

Belle is the French word for beautiful, which is an apt description of the lovely heroine of Beauty and the Beast, one of Disney's spunkiest princesses. Through the influence of the Twilight movies, it's Bella (not to mention Isabella) that has taken off with baby namers, but Belle has a lot to recommend itself, including references like 'Southern belle' and 'belle of the ball'.

Flynn Rider, born Eugene Fitzherbert, is the adventurous bandit in Tangled who, after a requisite number of exploits and escapades, marries the heroine, Rapunzel. Flynn is a lively Irish surname with a strong hint of Old Hollywood glamour. Its meaning of 'reddish' would make it a perfect choice for a little carrot-top.

In the 2007 mostly live action film Enchanted, Giselle is the name of the ingenuous princess, portrayed by Amy Adams, living in the fantasy animated kingdom of Andalasia. Giselle is a French name with a graceful image, through both its association with the ballet of that name, and its similarity to the word gazelle.
