1. Girl Names Inspired by Sci-Fi and Fantasy

Romantic, feminine, historical names that sound as at-home in a modern nursery as a sci-fi film (Endellion! Orla! Zathura!). Great inspiration if you’re writing a fantasy novel. 🧝♀️

These mobster-inspired names are *on the nose*. Think old-school given names like Mickey, Carmine, and Vinnie, along with gangster-style nicknames: Bugsy, Shark, and Kingpin! 🤌
10. Ethereal Baby Names

The Berries love an ethereal baby name, so it’s no wonder this is a favorite list. Mainstream names like Celeste and Rowan make the cut, along with more esoteric choices — Gwyneira, Nimue, and Zephyrine. ✨

What were popular girl names in France a century ago? Choices like Zelia, Sidonie, Clarisse, and Lucile! 😍
12. Malus - Post Apocalyptic Dystopia Character Names
By changelic
This Berry created an extensive list of possible character names for their novel, but it’s gained a wide audience! It’s full of names that sound straight out of The Hunger Games or Divergent — think Scarla, Tarquin, and Greige. 🧪

Girl names with a dark aura, some inspired by pop culture (think Buffy and Maleficent), and others with a strong gothic sound (Rhodanthe! Ember!) 𖤐

There’s a lot of overlap between Swifties and namenerds. I suspect Taylor is a namenerd herself, with names like Dorothea, Cornelia, and August in her songs. 💌
