Movie character names may be the only names cooler than the names of the stars that play them. In fact, with the exception of Jack, which has long seemed to be the name of the male character in every other movie and TV adventure show, characters' names veer from the unusual to the outlandish. A few, such as Trinity from The Matrix, jumped right onto the popularity charts.
Along with Jack and Trinity, other movie character names in the US Top 1000 include Buddy, Clementine, Fletcher, Josie, Maximus, Regina, Rosemary, and Sullivan. Rare and unique names from movies with strong ties to their character include Atreyu, Morpheus, Napoleon, and Sharpay.
These notable names from movies are perfect for the film buffs among us. If you’re a fan of all things cinematic, one of these names inspired by movies could be just right for your baby.
