Introduction
Girl Meets World Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Our first famous pooch with a Girl Meets World name is Riley from the comic strip Biff & Riley. The comic strip features two dogs that are brothers with completely opposite personalities. In the comic strip created by Jeff Payden, Riley is the more level-headed of the brothers. He is constantly dealing with all of Biff's crazy antics. The comic strip started in 2010, and Payden is still creating daily comics for followers today.
Our second pooch is Maya from the movie 8 Below. The movie is based on the true story of the 1958 Japanese scientific expedition to the South Pole. It is also a remake of the Japanese film Nankyoku Monogatari, which was released in 1986. The 2006 film follows the sled dog team that is lead by Maya. Maya is played by two different dogs named Koda and Jasmin. Maya and the rest of the dogs are left behind during the trip when weather conditions are too harsh for the humans on the trip. Since nobody is willing to go back to save the dogs, they wait for two weeks without food.
As a few of the dogs break free to try to find food, one dog named Old Jack is too weak to break free, so Maya stays behind to try to free him until she realizes that he has given up. Eventually Maya is injured, and the remaining dogs have been alone for six months. Finally, the dogs' guide returns to find five of the dogs, who then lead him to Maya who is very weak. The movie ends with the surviving dogs following the guide and the scene of the graves of the two dogs who have perished. Maya's determination and bravery were listed as part of the reason the dogs made it through the six months alone in the harsh weather.
Girl Meets World Inspired Dog Name Considerations
When you start to truly consider names for your new pet, you probably realize that the process can quickly become overwhelming. There are literally thousands of different name options out there, and it can feel like you are drowning in names after searching through so many different choices. To help you along the way, you can start to think about pop culture references that you may love.
