Peter Rabbit Name Generator
Storybook names for rabbits, kittens and puddle-ducks
Peter Rabbit character names from Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail to Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, followed by new names in the style of Beatrix Potter's tales, such as Barnaby Burrow, Dilly Dabble-Duck, Mr. Septimus Snuffle and Tuppence and Thimble.
About Peter Rabbit names
The animals in Beatrix Potter's little books are named the way a country village might name its own. Many carry a plain given name and their kind, like Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten and Squirrel Nutkin. Grown-ups are Mr., Mrs. or Miss with a surname in two beats taken from the animal's sound, habit or work: Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Tabitha Twitchit, Samuel Whiskers. Brothers and sisters come in rhyming sets such as Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, and the rogues get short, gruff names. Tod is an old country word for a fox and brock for a badger, which is all there is to Mr. Tod and Tommy Brock.
The first 60 names on this page are character names from the tales, from Peter Rabbit to Little Pig Robinson, given simply as names for reference. They are a share of the cast, not all of it. The other 440 are new and are not from the books. They follow the same patterns: rabbits and hares, mice and voles, squirrels, hedgehogs and moles with trades, ducks, geese and hens, cats and kittens, frogs and pond folk, pigs and farm animals, sly foxes, badgers, stoats and owls, shopkeepers in pairs like Tuppence and Thimble, gardeners and farm people, and sibling sets such as Hopsy, Popsy and Button-tail.
How to choose Peter Rabbit names
- Start with the plainest pattern: an old-fashioned given name and the animal's kind or home, as in Primrose Rabbit, Hannah Harvest-Mouse or Barnaby Burrow.
- For a grown-up, add Mr., Mrs. or Miss and a surname in two beats made from a sound, a habit or a job. Mrs. Dolly Tub does the washing, and Mr. Gideon Galoshes never minds the rain.
- Name brothers and sisters as a set. Two names that rhyme and a third with a hyphen follow Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, as in Dilly, Dally and Dawdle-behind.
- Keep rogues sly, not frightening. One short, gruff name does it: Mr. Vix, Mr. Slink, Silas Stoat.
- Borrow old country words. Tod for a fox and brock for a badger are in the tales, and urchin for a hedgehog and leveret for a young hare work the same way in Urchin Tom and Jonas Leveret.
Frequently asked questions
What are the names of the Peter Rabbit characters?
The rabbit family is Peter Rabbit, his mother Mrs. Rabbit, his sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail and his cousin Benjamin Bunny, and the gardener is Mr. McGregor. Other tales bring in Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Tom Kitten, Samuel Whiskers, Mr. Tod and Tommy Brock.
Which names on this page are Beatrix Potter character names and which are new?
The first 60 names, from Peter Rabbit to Little Pig Robinson, are character names from the little books, listed as names only. The rest are new names in the same style and are not Beatrix Potter characters, for example Barnaby Burrow, Mrs. Tansy Thistlewhisk, Dilly Dabble-Duck and Pigling Proper. The book names are a share of the cast and not a full list, and this page has no tie to the books' publisher.
What are Tom Kitten's sisters called?
Tom Kitten's sisters are Mittens and Moppet, and their mother is Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit. The list adds new kitten names in the same spirit, such as Tippet, Pinafore and Sam Kitten.
Can I use these names for a pet or a story of my own?
Yes, that is what the new names are for: a kitten called Pinafore, a hen called Dolly Dorking, or a village shop kept by Nutmeg and Mace. The character names from the tales are listed for reference.
