About Alice in Wonderland names

Lewis Carroll almost never gave his Wonderland characters ordinary names. Most are simply what they are, capitalized into a title: the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle (a pun on mock turtle soup, which is why he is part cow). The few proper names that exist are jokes or in-jokes: Dinah was the real Liddell family cat, the Dodo was Dodgson himself, Elsie, Lacie and Tillie in the treacle well are the three Liddell sisters, and Haigha and Hatta in Through the Looking-Glass are the Hare and Hatter in Anglo-Saxon disguise.

The other Carroll trick is the portmanteau. Jabberwocky packs two words into one (slithy = lithe and slimy, mimsy = flimsy and miserable), and the Looking-Glass insects do the same with objects: the Bread-and-Butterfly, the Rocking-Horse-Fly, the Snap-Dragon-Fly. Tim Burton's 2010 film added a third layer, giving the old archetypes Victorian full names like Tarrant Hightopp, Iracebeth of Crims and Nivens McTwisp.

This list keeps all three registers. You will find the canon cast from both books and the films, the Jabberwocky vocabulary usable as names, and new residents built on Carroll's rules: role-as-name titles (the Marquess of Marmalade), household-object creatures (the Teapot Tortoise), tea-table Victorians (Sir Digby Crumpet) and outright nonsense (Snorflewick, Pribblewump) for your own Wonderland story, party or game.

How to choose Alice in Wonderland names

  • For a Carroll-authentic character, name it by what it is and capitalize: the Duchess, the Cook, the Knave. Add a proper name only if there is a joke in it.
  • Build creatures by fusing a household object with an animal, the way Carroll made the Bread-and-Butterfly: Teacup Terrier, Pocket-Watch Pigeon, Hatbox Hare.
  • For Burton-style humans, pair an archaic English or Scottish first name with an invented surname that hints at the role (Hightopp for a hatter, McTwisp for a nervous rabbit).
  • Invent nonsense by portmanteau, not random syllables: decide which two real words you are squashing together so the name feels like it means something.
  • Keep the tone brisk and matter-of-fact. Wonderland names are funny because everyone in the story treats them as perfectly normal.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main Alice in Wonderland character names?

From the 1865 book: Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse, the Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, the Duchess, the Queen and King of Hearts, the Knave of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, the Gryphon, the Dodo and Bill the Lizard. Through the Looking-Glass adds Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the Red and White Queens, the White Knight, the Walrus, the Carpenter and the Jabberwock.

Does the Mad Hatter have a real name?

Not in Carroll's books, where he is only ever the Hatter (the word 'Mad' is the Cheshire Cat's description). Tim Burton's 2010 film named him Tarrant Hightopp, and that name is now widely used in fan fiction and cosplay.

What is the Jabberwocky vocabulary and can I use it for names?

Jabberwocky is Carroll's nonsense poem built from portmanteau words: brillig, slithy, toves, mimsy, borogoves, mome raths, vorpal, frabjous, galumphing, Bandersnatch and Jubjub bird. They work beautifully as Wonderland names on their own or paired with a Victorian given name, like Mimsy Pemberton or Vorpal Vane.

Can I use these names for a party, escape room or story?

Yes. Carroll's original books are in the public domain, so the book characters are free to use anywhere. Names created for the Disney and Burton films (Tarrant Hightopp, Mallymkun, Chessur and so on) are fine for fan projects and parties but are best avoided in commercial work. All the original names in the list are free to use.
