20+ Cute and Creative Names for Your Pet Axolotl (2026 Ideas)

Finding the perfect name for your Axolotl is one of the most exciting parts of becoming a "Lotl" parent. Because of their unique appearance—those feathery gills and that permanent wide smile—they deserve a name that is as special as they are.

Whether you have a pink Leucistic, a dark Wild Type, or a golden Axolotl, here is a curated list of the best names to suit their personality.

1. Names Based on Appearance

Since Axolotls look like little water monsters or dragons, these names are always a hit:

Kirby: Perfect for the pink (Leucistic) Axolotls.
Toothless: Ideal for black or dark wild-type Axolotls (from How to Train Your Dragon).
Goldie: For the shimmering Golden Albino variety.
Bubblegum: A sweet name for a bright pink pet.
Mochi: For an Axolotl that looks soft and squishy!

2. Funny and Punny Names

Axolotls are naturally funny creatures, so why not give them a name that makes people smile?

Aristotle: A classic pun on "Axolotl."
Axl Rose: For the rockstar in your tank.
Sir Fluffs-a-Lot: Referring to those fluffy external gills.
Lilo & Stitch: If you have a pair!
Gilly Nelson: Another great pun for gill-breathers.

3. Mythology and Fantasy Names

Since they originate from ancient Mexico and are named after an Aztec god, these names carry some "weight":

Xolotl: The Aztec god of fire and lightning (the original namesake).
Poseidon: The king of the sea.
Hydra: For the multi-headed look of their gills.
Nessie: After the Loch Ness Monster.
Atlantis: A magical name for a magical creature.

4. Short and Sweet Names

Sometimes, simple is better.

Echo
Luna

Yoshi
