Just for Fun: Celebrating Minions & Sticky Labels For Your Little Minions' Belongings!
Next week sees the release of Minions: The Rise Of Gru, so we decided to see how popular minion names are amongst our customers! Plus, learn how Stikins® name labels help keep track of your little minions' belongings.
Celebrating A Multitude Of Minion Monikers
The release of Minions: The Rise Of Gru got us thinking about the names of these cute characters. Apparently, there are at least 10,400 minions with around 899 receiving an individual credit across the series. So, how many Minion names can you think of?
We managed 30 names and decided to see how popular these names are amongst our customers. Check out our list below to find out how they fared!

While researching our minion monikers, we also came across some fun facts. For example, did you know that:
- Minions are around 3 feet 7 inches (1.1 metres) tall.
- All minions share common features. They are either small and plump, medium, or tall and thin; have one of five hairstyles (bald, buzz cut, sprout, spiky, or combed); and have one or two brown eyes (except for Bob who has one green eye and one brown eye). Tall minions always have sprout hair, while one eyed minions tend to be short.
- Minions speak Minionese (or Banana Language), which is a mixture of gibberish and words from various languages including English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, and Filipino. Common phrases include Bello (hello), Poopaye (goodbye), Bi do (I’m sorry), Papoy (toy), Madoca (I am hungry), and Papaya (beautiful).
- Minions are biologically hard wired to serve villains, have a degree of invulnerability, and have an almost uncontrollable craving for fruit – especially bananas!
Take Control Of The Chaos With Stick On Name Labels For Your Little Minions' Belongings
Little kids mean lots of stuff. Lots of stuff means lots of chaos and inevitable trips to the lost property box. However, there is a simple way to save your universe - stick on name labels from Stikins®!
Unlike other name labels, Stikins® can be used on almost everything - from clothing to kit and from toys to tech. Our unique adhesive creates super strong adhesive bonds that can withstand the mighty power of the washing machine, tumble-dryer, dishwasher, and microwave. Each label can be applied in seconds. Simply peel off the backing sheet and apply firmly.
We recommend applying Stikins® onto the wash-care label of clothing and fabric items and onto the side wall or beneath the tongue of shoes.
Our bright white labels are easy to spot but (at just 30mm x 15mm) a neat and discrete addition to items of all shapes and sizes. Our bold, black font is really clear and easy to read for kids of all ages. This makes it super easy for anyone to check who owns what and return lost items to their rightful owner.
You can order online at anytime or by phone during office hours (9a,-5pm, Mon-Fri). It is quick and simple to order. Simply pick your pack size and personalisation, let us know your delivery information, and pay.
We print and post all orders on the same or next working day with delivery by Royal Mail's first class service.
So what are you waiting for? Take control of your chaos-creating little minions - or at least their belongings - and order Stikins® today.
Or as the minions would probably say:
Haiyaku! Tank yi! Poopaye!
(Hurry up! Thank you! Goodbye!)
