Top 37 Baby Names Inspired by EPCOT
America
A patriotic name, one of the few World Showcase pavilion countries we’ve seen used as a baby name.
Angel
Like the various San Angel establishments, found across the Mexico pavilion.
Benjamin
Inspired by Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States… and familiar face from The American Adventure.
Bruce
Inspired by the scary Aussie shark and his “Shark World” EPCOT play area, this old-timey name actually holds the earthy meaning of “woodland, thicket.”
China
Another World Showcase country name that is occasionally used as a baby name. More so than Norway or United Kingdom, anyway.
Chip & Dale
We couldn’t list these names separately, of course inspired by the chipmunk duo whose farm-fresh fare is the talk of the Land Pavilion at EPCOT. I mean, just imagine naming your twins Chip & Dale.
Coral
A peachy, under-the-sea name, inspired by the seafood restaurant situated in an aquarium (of all places).
Crush
A turtle-y sweet name for any awesome dude.
Donald
Like the duck, and star of The Three Caballeros ride. Let’s hope your little Donald isn’t quite as grumpy, however!
Ellen
Like DeGeneres, whose ex-attraction Ellen’s Energy Adventure was the dark-ride vacation science lesson we never knew we needed at EPCOT.
Elsa
Yes, I know I put Elsa in the Disney’s Hollywood Studios baby names post… but the Ice Queen herself is quite the star over here in EPCOT too. Have you seen the Norway pavilion lately? She’s everywhere! It had to be included.
Eppie or Cottie
Both cute twists on EPCOT, because giving your child an acronym which in part means “Experimental Prototype” just feels a bit mean.
Figgy
If Figment is a bit too on-the-nose consider this alternative, reminding us of the festive pudding.
Figment
An out-there baby name, inspired by the imaginative purple dragon whose popcorn bucket effigies send guests into a frenzy during the festivals.
Flower
A pretty name, inspired by the most colorful of international festivals at EPCOT.
Fūd
Promote the values of good nutrition in your baby by naming them after the one-and-only Fūd Wrapper, from the now-extinct Food Rocks attraction.
Gamora
Inspired by one of the coolest Guardians of the Galaxy, now residing right here in EPCOT.
Harmony
A pretty yet virtuous name, of course taking inspiration from the epic night-time spectacular Harmonious.
Horizon
A nostalgic nod to the EPCOT of yesterday, this dreamy name carries aspiration and innovation.
Illumi
We’ve definitely heard Lumi be used as an enchanting name, so why not EPCOT it up a tad and go for Illumi instead? Especially if your surname is Nations, that would be a spectacular choice.
Joffrey
Did you know there are four Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. locations across EPCOT? A cute name for caffeinated kids.
José
José Carioca is that Brazilian parrot, famously appearing as one of The Three Caballeros in Mexico’s Gran Fiesta Tour.
Mael
An old yet charming name, here used as a nostalgic nod towards Norway’s Maelstrom attraction.
Mark
After Mark Twain, who joins none other than Benjamin Franklin on an Animatronic tour though history in The American Adventure. Historical, patriotic, literary, EPCOT-inspired… what more could you want?
Michelangelo
This heavenly name is almost as majestic as his Sistine Chapel mural itself – a classic scene in Spaceship Earth.
Moana
A gorgeous Disney princess name, aptly meaning “sea, ocean.” What will her journey be?
Nemo
Don’t lose him!
Nigel
This name means “champion,” and has Dr Nigel Channing – chairman of the Imagination Institute himself – as a sense-ational namesake.
Panchito
Weirdly, the only Mexican member of The Three Caballeros, after the pistol-wielding red rooster you see on the Gran Fiesta Tour.
Patrick
After everyone’s favorite Chief Flight Attendant. Have you already chosen Patrick as your baby name? Nice work, pal.
Peter
Another one inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Let’s just say it’s a more… user-friendly alternative to choosing Star Lord as your baby’s name.
Remy
It means “oarsman” or “rower,” but everyone’s going to associate this French name with the little rat chef.
Rocket
A great EPCOT-inspired name, with various inspirations around the park itself. Rocket is, of course, the furrier member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but it’s also the vessel in which guests can shoot off to Mars in Mission: SPACE. “Rocket” is also a synonym for “spaceship,” so you could say it’s a truly out-of-this-world choice for parents looking to the future (world)!
Soar
A dreamy name for high-flying kiddos, whether they’ve got their sights on California… or the world.
Sunshine
Bright and fresh, just like the quirky Sunshine Seasons restaurant inside The Land pavilion.
Te Fiti
Not a common name, but sure to strike a chord if you’ve seen the spectacular model of the goddess inside Journey of Water.
Xandar
This MARVEL planet and EPCOT pavilion name could actually double as a short form of the popular name Alexander, meaning “defender of mankind.” A great meaning for any little guardian of the galaxy!
