Many children associate fairies with the Tinker Bell animated films, thanks to Disney. The following names will give you plenty to think about as you wait for your little one’s wiggly tooth to fall out. You might even find a name rooted in global folklore that resonates with you way more than the standard “Tooth Fairy.” Also, having a name for your child’s Tooth Fairy makes it a little easier to, ahem, shift the blame when *someone* falls asleep before sneaking in and making the requisite money-for-tooth swap. At the end of the day, this list was inspired by the names these parents shared, as well as names found in whimsical tales, nature, and from cultures around the world. And, yep, many stuck with Tooth Fairy (see, totally acceptable!).

We found out some were passed down from their own childhood, while others were unisex names that would delight multiple siblings. In fact, Scary Mommy was so fascinated by the idea of personalizing this whimsical tooth-taking entity that we polled parents on what tooth fairy names they chose in their households. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with good ol’ Tooth Fairy, but coming up with a unique name can be a fun way to personalize the experience. If you have a kiddo with a wiggly tooth, you might be considering starting a tooth fairy tradition to celebrate the loss of your child’s baby teeth - and that little sprite is probably going to need a name.
