Fictional Baby Names, Names After Fictional Characters, Page 3
Love a name with a story behind it? Fictional baby names borrow from novels, myths, films, and TV, so your child carries a little piece of a favorite tale from day one. These picks feel familiar but meaningful, not made-up.
Try Abraham, a Hebrew name meaning ''father of a multitude,'' used for the Lincoln legend and Simpsons'' grandpa alike. Agnes, Greek for ''pure,'' appears in Despicable Me and countless novels. Alice, the German ''sweet,'' goes straight to Wonderland. Amory, an English name meaning ''brave,'' stars in Fitzgerald''s This Side of Paradise. Amelia feels fresh thanks to Amelia Bedelia and modern TV.
Fictional baby names let you skip the blank-page pressure by picking a character whose spirit you love. Pair a bold fictional first with a simple middle, or flip it for balance.
