We all have been reading about birds since our school days, and are still inquisitive to brush up our knowledge about their habitat, diet, preying tactics, and so on. Owls are one such bird species with large tubular eyes. They prey during the night and sleep in the daytime. It is all because the quality of their visionary lens is poor during light, and sharp at night. Sometimes, they might pretend to be sleepy in the morning but are alert from the uncertain danger.
Owls are carnivorous birds. They pounce upon fish, reptiles (like lizards and snakes), crabs, spiders, insects (like crickets, moths, beetles, and caterpillars), earthworms, and snails. They don’t even spare rabbits and squirrels for their meal.
These night birds also feed on frogs and rodents. It may seem surprising or weird that apart from dogs or parrots, people love keeping owls as pets, which is indeed very challenging in taming them. But more than that, it is more difficult to name them.
If you have recently bought an owl as a pet, and have been struggling to find an awesome name for it, then this article comes as the best guide for you in suggesting some of the best owl names. I am sure by the end of it, you will certainly be able to choose one of the listed names given below. So let us begin with our first suggested name:
Table of Contents
Hedwig
The more catchy this name is, the more valiant its meaning is. Hedwig is a German origin name that stands for warrior in war. Doesn’t this name remind you of a character from a famous superhero series? Yes, it is the name of a snowy owl from the Harry Potter series. It came as a gift to Harry on his 11th birthday. Very soon Hedwig became a close companion to him.
Hedwig proved her friendship until her demise in the Battle of the Seven Potters during the 2nd wizard war. So what can be a better example other than Hedwig who showed her loyalty and gave up her life for Harry? She was an obedient bird who followed all the orders of Harry.
The snowy owl even used to nibble gently on his fingers and ears. The death of Hedwig came as a big loss for Harry. He gets devastated by losing a loyal companion. If you are moved by this owl character, then I don’t think you will be having a second thought in finalizing it for your pet owl’s name.
Nightwing
After Hedwig from the famous Harry Potter series, the other suggested option is Nightwing. If you are a DC comics fan, then you must be familiar with this superhero character. Most of us get confused about whether he is the new version of Batman’s vigilante partner Robin or is a separate identity.
Well, going by the DC comics, it is a fact that he was partnered with dark knight crusader as Robin, but later on, left this role following a dismissal, and became Nightwing. Since owls are night birds, and you have a pet also, it is a better name to suggest.
Owly
What can be a simple, crispy, and short name other than Owly? It is the name of the main owl character from the graphic novel series for children in America. It was created by Andy Runton and published by an American publishing company in 2004. Well, it is a very cute name for your pet owl.
Owlboy
If the name Owly seems too common for you, then we have another suggested reference, which is Owlboy. It is the name of a video game character. The game was launched in November five years ago by D-Pad Studio, an independent developer from Norway.
Scowl
If Owlboy also does not seem much interesting for your pet owl name, then the name Scowl would be the better choice. The name also refers to a red cartoon owl character in an antagonist role. Scowl sounds very catchy and will surely suit your pet owl.
Gowl Gadot
When it comes to naming your pet owl, then gender is no bar. Yes, you heard it right. If you have a female owl, then naming her Gowl Gadot, which is inspired by the Wonder Woman actress Gal Gador will make the best choice.

Owlbert Einstein
Owlbert Einstein is also the best-suggested owl name for your pet owl. Now, do you need any guesses as to which name this name is inspired from?
