In Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF), the animatronics mostly have names that fans and the game itself use, but if you mean the “real names” behind the characters or their official names in the series, here’s a quick rundown of some key ones:
Freddy Fazbear — The main bear animatronic and mascot.
Bonnie — The purple bunny animatronic.
Chica — The yellow chicken animatronic.
Foxy — The pirate fox animatronic.

Ah, diving into Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF)? 👀 Let’s go! The animatronics are known by their stage names in-game, but over time, through lore, games, and community digging, fans have uncovered or theorized their “real” names—especially when you factor in the spirits or children said to possess them.
Here’s a breakdown of the most well-known animatronics and their real-name connections:
Classic Animatronics (FNAF 1)
These are possessed by the spirits of murdered children:
Animatronic Possessed By (Real Name)
Freddy Fazbear Gabriel Bonnie the Bunny Jeremy Chica the Chicken Susie Foxy the Pirate Fritz Golden Freddy Cassidy (possibly Evan or two souls, depending on theory)
These names are supported by FNAF 3’s “Give Gifts, Give Life” minigame and gravestones seen in FNAF 6.
Toy Animatronics (FNAF 2)
These aren’t generally believed to be possessed, but rather used by the Puppet/Marionette to carry out tasks.
Animatronic Possessed?
Toy Freddy No Toy Bonnie No Toy Chica No Mangle - Unclear (possibly part of the spirit crowd) Puppet/Marionette. - Charlie Emily (confirmed in The Fourth Closet)
Other Key Characters
Springtrap – Real name: William Afton, the main villain and child murderer.
Circus Baby – Possessed by Elizabeth Afton (William’s daughter).
Ballora – Possibly represents Mrs. Afton, though not confirmed.
Ennard – A combination of souls/pieces from multiple animatronics (including Baby, Funtime Freddy, and others).
TL;DR
Many animatronics have real names tied to the spirits of children:
Freddy = Gabriel
Bonnie = Jeremy
Chica = Susie
Foxy = Fritz
Golden Freddy = Cassidy (possibly shared with Evan)
Others, like Springtrap (William Afton) and Circus Baby (Elizabeth Afton), are linked to the Afton family—the heart of the FNAF lore.
