Sloth names don’t have to be slow and steady, they can be cool, unique and trending too! A pet sloth would be amazing. They seem to have all the traits, behaviors and characteristics of an ideal apartment pet. It’s a shame that the reality doesn’t actually match up to the fantasy! But that doesn’t mean we don’t need some seriously cute baby sloth names sometimes. Whether you are naming your sloth plushies, a Pokemon or Squishmallow sloth, another pet with a sloth inspired name, or you’re a sloth zoo keeper, we’ve got the perfect sloth names for you.

There are two types of sloth, the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth. They are both totally cute, though differ a bit in terms of size, weight and the length of their arms too! Whatever your baby sloth is like, you could name them after the sloth from Zootopia (Flash) or Ice Age (Sid), or you’ll find lots more good names for a pet sloth in these sloth names lists.
Deciding What To Name Your Sloth
The first time I ever saw a sloth was at the local zoo, and it was a pretty amazing sight. Slowly moving towards the keeper to have some lunch. Each time it was handed some fruit, the little monkeys it lived with stole it from her! The keeper was hanging around just to make sure this slow moving creature got to eat something with those cheeky monkeys around! I fell in love that day with their cute expressions, and even sweeter attitude.
Your new sloth might not be a pet or zoo buddy like that sweetie pie, but naming them still matters. Names are important, even when the name you are choosing is for a toy. They give an identity to the person, pet or object that helps you to bond with them and shows their status in your life to others too.
