25 ‘Bluey’-inspired baby names parents will love for real life

If you’ve watched “Bluey,” you already know that the adorably sweet show about the Heeler family isn’t just for kids—it’s for parents, too. But what about parents-to-be? Because if you break down the cast of characters, you can find some serious baby name inspiration thanks to the show’s creators.

Sure, you might be thinking, “I already know this isn’t the baby name list for me,” and it’s understandable. But you’re also wrong! Not all of the recurring characters have canine-appropriate names. Some are “normal,” some are fun, and some are really really cute.
