Disney has put out over sixty animated feature films, and many of these films have ended up popularizing particular baby names.
The best example of this is probably Ariel, which ranked among the top 100 girl names in the U.S. from 1990 to 1992 thanks to the success of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, which was released in November of 1989.
