Toon Name Guidelines
The Toon Council uses an extensive set of guidelines when approving names to make sure they all fit the Toontown lifestyle. All Toon names must fit the following guidelines to be approved:
Personal Names
Names can't have personally identifiable information.
First names are A-OK, but please refrain from including other personal information in your Toon's name!
- Unacceptable: Jane From California, George Williams
- Acceptable: Jane, George
Fictional names are allowed, but not if they could be confused with real people.
To avoid anyone's real name becoming a Toon name, we only accept names that are easily recognizable as fictional.
- Unacceptable: John Galt, Carl Fredricksen
- Acceptable: Kylo Ren, Dipper Pines
Don't describe personal relationships.
Putting personal relationships in a name is just like advertising your own personal information. You've gotta keep it private!
- Unacceptable: Jane’s Cousin, George’s Mom, Karen's Friend
- Acceptable: Robby’s Puppy, Henry’s Watch
Save romance for the real world.
While you may love your special someone, it's not necessary to broadcast to the entire Tooniverse.
- Unacceptable: Wife, Boyfriend
- Acceptable: Friend, Father
Appropriate Names
All names must be family friendly.
Strong language and inappropriate references are strictly prohibited anywhere in Toontown.
- If you can't say it in SpeedChat+, chances are you can't have it in your name!
Don't put yourself down!
You shouldn't call anyone names, even yourself.
- Unacceptable: Dumb Dog, Stupid Cat
- Acceptable: Nice Dog, Marvelous Cat
Avoid political references.
To avoid controversy, we do not allow political matters to be in names.

No diseases, disorders, or references to death.
Names need to be kept in good taste. Avoid anything too gruesome in your names.
- Unacceptable: Bipolar Bunny, Grim Reaper, Dead Dog

All references to movies, books, myths, or media must be family friendly.
People of all ages play Toontown, which means your name should be something they can see!

Please keep religious references out of your Toon name!
- Unacceptable: Biblical Cat, Star of David, Pope Kyle
- Acceptable: Ethereal, Spirit of Midnight
Trademarked and Copyrighted Names
Your Toon name can't be a celebrity, band, sports team, or copyrighted brand.

Don't be spammy!
Here in Toontown, Toons enjoy sensible nonsense, not unintelligible nonsense.
