The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl Dog Names

Introduction

Before Taylor Lautner was a werewolf who fought against vampires in the Twilight saga, he was the legendary Sharkboy in the 2005 film, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Sharkboy is the brainchild of ten-year-old Max, a young boy who suffers constantly bullying at school. Because he doesn't have a lot of friends, Max invents Sharkboy and Lavagirl during his playtime. Max's nemesis, Linus, finds Max's journal in which he has written down the tale of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Although Linus vandalizes the journal in an attempt to harm Max, that act of bullying eventually leads to Linus and Max becoming friends.

Max

Max is the lonely, yet imaginative boy who creates Sharkboy and Lavagirl by drawing them to life in his dream diary. Max is often bullied by a classmate named Linus. His parents are struggling with their careers and their marriage. For Max, the dream journal and the characters of Sharkboy and Lavagirl provide an escape from the stresses of life. Only when Max visits the dream graveyard do the characters of Sharkboy and Lavagirl come to life. So much of Max's dream diary is reflective of his life - from his character Minus (who is also a bully) to the Ice Princess who is said to resemble a character known as Marissa in Max's real life. Furthermore, even though student Max has a good relationship with his principal Mr. Electricity, Max must have subconsciously known that his principal wasn't what he seemed - in the dream world, Mr. Electricity is actually a nemesis of the good characters in the movie. Max becomes heroic when he helps Sharkboy and Lavagirl save the day, and this is the confidence boost that Max needed.

Max is one of the most popular names for a dog today. In fact, a quick perusal of the internet shows that there are many famous or even semi-famous dogs named Max. One popular Max is a fictional character in a movie of the same name. This 2015 film relates the story of Kyle Wincott and his military dog Max. A German Shepherd, Max is a trained dog who helps to sniff out explosives with the armed forces stationed in Afghanistan. Kyle and Max have an almost supernatural connection. In fact, Max listens to only Kyle. This generally isn't a problem - until Kyle is killed in action.

When Kyle is killed, Max is injured as well as other members of Kyle's unit. Although Max would eventually recover from his injuries, he suffered from a form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. His inability to listen to or interact with anyone other than Kyle became even more pronounced. As a result, the military and his handlers decided to have Max put down. Enter Kyle's civilian brother. Somehow, Max inherently knows that Justin is connected to Kyle. The two serve as a form of therapy for one another. Fortunately, because of Justin's love for Max (and Max's ability to relate to Justin), Max is retired from his military service and allowed to be adopted by Justin. This happy ending is inspiring to a wide variety of people.

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl Dog Name Considerations

Most of the animals in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl are marine animals. Most of the story surrounds the Planet Drool, which is Max's make-believe world where Sharkboy and Lavagirl reside. On Planet Drool, conditions aren't very conducive to the inhabitants having a lot of pets. Therefore, there aren't any dogs to speak of in the movie. So, how can we recommend dog breeds that might benefit from having a name inspired by the characters of Sharkboy and Lavagirl?

Max lives in Austin, Texas. In order to determine what breeds might be considered for Sharkboy and Lavagirl-inspired names, let's look at dogs popular in that area. The Chihuahua is a small but mighty dog that is popular all over the United States but especially in Texas. A few other small dogs are also quite popular in the largest state in the Union. The Yorkshire Terrier is highly favored in the Lone Star state; this perky pooch is at home just about anywhere or with anyone. However, the most popular purebred dog is the Labrador Retriever. Each of these breeds would be fitting of a name inspired by the characters of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
