About Ice Age names

The Ice Age films name their animals the way you would name the neighbors. A short, friendly first name goes on a huge prehistoric animal: Manny is a woolly mammoth, Sid a ground sloth, Diego a saber-toothed tiger, Ellie and Peaches mammoths, and Crash and Eddie a pair of possum daredevils. Around them are Buck the weasel, Louis the molehog, Granny, Shira, the pirate Captain Gutt and his crew, and Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel with the acorn.

This list opens with names from the films and is not a complete cast list. Everything after Buckminster was written for this list in the same style, and each new entry gives a name and a species: Walt the Glyptodon, Dot the Dodo, Hank the Woolly Rhino. There are mammoths and mastodons, ground sloths, sabers and cave lions, possum pairs such as Zip and Zap the Possums, squeaky squirrel names like Scrit and Skweek, molehogs and small mammals, a pirate crew of sea animals under Captain Barnaby the Walrus, dinosaurs and hatchlings, vultures and dodos, and herd names such as The Snowdrift Herd.

The species are real animals, living or prehistoric, apart from the films' own inventions such as the molehog and the saber-toothed squirrel. Treat the mix as a cartoon cast, not as a guide to which animals lived side by side.

How to choose Ice Age names

  • Start with a name a neighbor or a grandparent might have: Marge, Hank, Walt, Dot. The joke is the gap between a plain name and a very large animal.
  • Add the species when you introduce the character, as in Hugo the Cave Lion or Maeve the Irish Elk, then drop it once everyone knows who Hugo is.
  • Name pairs as a set. Possum brothers and other double acts work best as two short action words, such as Flip and Flop or Tuck and Roll.
  • Give squirrels a squeak. Coined names with scr, skr or squ at the front, like Scrunch or Squeep, sound like the animal.
  • For a group, name what it does or where it is going: The Thaw Patrol, The Long Walk South Herd. The same trick works for a classroom team or a party table.

Frequently asked questions

Which names on this list are actual Ice Age characters?

The list opens with names from the films: Manny the Mammoth, Sid the Sloth, Diego the Saber-Toothed Tiger, Scrat, Ellie, Crash, Eddie, Peaches, Buck the Weasel, Shira, Granny, Louis the Molehog, Captain Gutt and more. It is not a complete cast list. Everything after Buckminster was written for this list, and those new entries give a name and a species.

What are the names of the main Ice Age characters?

The herd is Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the saber-toothed tiger, joined by Ellie, the possum brothers Crash and Eddie, Peaches, Shira and Granny. Scrat is the saber-toothed squirrel, and Buck is the weasel.

How are the new names put together?

They follow the films' recipe: a short, friendly first name on a prehistoric animal, such as Gordy the Mammoth, Nico the Saber or Myrtle the Glyptodon. Pirates get a job on the ship, like First Mate Marina the Sea Lion, and groups are named for what they do, like The Thaw Patrol.

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

Yes. The new names suit pets, plush toys, classroom animals, party teams and fan stories. The film characters belong to their studio, so keep those to fan use. This page is a fan resource and is not official or connected to the makers of the films.
