From Screen to Stroller: Baby Names Inspired by TV Show Characters
Series writers put a lot of energy into picking names with just the right amount of pizzazz – which is why your favorite TV shows offer such a wealth of appealing baby name choices. From classic sitcoms where characters like Ross and Monica became household names, to fantasy epics featuring unique monikers like Arya and Tyrion, television has long been influencing parents' naming decisions. Modern streaming hits continue this tradition with distinctive names such as Eleven, Fleabag, and Ted capturing viewers' imaginations. Whether you're drawn to the vintage charm of Betty and Don from period dramas or the bold uniqueness of Olivia and Elliot from contemporary shows, TV characters can provide wonderful inspiration for your little one's name. (Of course, no matter how fun these TV characters are, you will find your child infinitely more entertaining.)
