About raccoon names

Raccoon names almost always play on the mask. The black band across a raccoon's eyes makes it look like a burglar, so Bandit, Rascal, Zorro, Robber, Outlaw and Sneaky Pete are the classic picks, and the internet's 'trash panda' nickname has added a whole family of dumpster and snack names: Trash Panda, Binny, Scraps, Cheeto, Pretzel, Marshmallow. Their ringed tail gives Ringtail, Ringo and Stripes; their habit of dunking food in water gives Washer, Dabbler and Sudsy; and their nocturnal prowling gives Midnight, Dusk and Prowler.

Famous raccoons are a rich source too. Rocket (Guardians of the Galaxy), Meeko (Pocahontas), Sly Cooper, Rigby (Regular Show), RJ (Over the Hedge), Ranger Rick, Rocky Raccoon from the Beatles song and the Nook family from Animal Crossing (technically tanuki, but everyone counts them). The scientific name Procyon lotor, Spanish mapache, German Waschbär and the Powhatan word arakun (origin of 'raccoon') give options that sound clever without being obvious.

Because raccoons are woodland animals in most of North America, tree and campfire names (Hickory, Acorn, Maple, Bramble, S'mores) fit them naturally, and the current fashion for giving animals very ordinary human names (Gary, Barbara, Kevin, Frank) suits a raccoon's deadpan expression perfectly. The list also covers backyard raids (Porchlight, Birdfeeder, Catflap), campsite gear, laundry jokes and raccoon in other languages (Tvättbjörn, Araiguma, Wasbeer).

How to choose raccoon names

  • Decide on the tone first: cute (Nibbles, Dumpling, Pudge), roguish (Bandit, Zorro, Captain Trashbeard) or deadpan human (Gary, Linda, Bernard). Mixing tones inside one name usually falls flat.
  • Physical-trait names are always safe: Ringtail or Stripes for the tail, Bandit or Zorro for the mask, Mittens or Gloves for the dark hands, Chonk for the autumn weight.
  • For a story or game character, add a title to a mischief name (Sir Nibbleton, Baron Von Bin, Miss Mischief) to signal personality in two words.
  • Real raccoons are wild animals and illegal to keep as pets in many places; if you're naming a rescue or a rehab animal, keep it short and neutral (Rocky, Scout, Hazel) so it doesn't encourage over-familiarity.
  • Foreign and scientific words (Mapache, Waschbär, Procyon, Lotor) make good names for a raccoon mascot or brand that needs to sound distinctive.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most famous raccoon names?

Rocket (Guardians of the Galaxy), Meeko (Pocahontas), Sly Cooper, Rigby (Regular Show), RJ (Over the Hedge), Rascal (the 1963 memoir and anime), Ranger Rick, Rocky Raccoon (The Beatles) and Marlon from Bluey.

Why are raccoons called trash pandas?

The nickname spread online around 2015 because of their panda-like mask and their habit of raiding bins. It has since become a mascot name (the Rocket City Trash Pandas baseball team) and a whole genre of raccoon names.

Where does the word 'raccoon' come from?

From the Powhatan (Algonquian) word arakun, roughly 'one who scratches with its hands'. The Latin name Procyon lotor means 'before-dog washer', a nod to their apparent food-washing.

Can I use these names for a mascot, brand or game character?

Yes. Descriptive and original names are free to use. Avoid trademarked characters (Rocket, Sly Cooper, Tom Nook, Meeko) for anything commercial.
