21 fabulous baby girl names inspired by our favourite tv shows

Trine Jensen-Burke

Baby name inspiration can come from anywhere — even your favorite TV show.

And if you are currently expecting a little girl, you might find these cute and on-trend baby names – straight from your favourite TV shows – to be of particular interest.

And just so you know, picking names from something you have seen on the telly is actually a rather genius idea, as scriptwriters often have creative license to weave whatever names they like into the stories they pen, meaning, of course, they can come up with some pretty awesome names.

Don’t believe us? Just take a look at these:

1. Skyler

Breaking Bad was the show on everyone’s lips, and is probably the reason why the name Skyler is very popular.

2. Blair

Blair Waldorf – nobody will ever wear a hairband like this Park Avenue princess ever again. (Gossip Girl)

3. Piper

We think Piper is such a sweet name – and the Orange is the new Black reference isn’t lost on us either.

4. Summer

Oh, how we rooted for Summer and Cohen in The OC.

5. Arya

Game of Thrones names are on the rise – and with monikers like Arya, we totally get why.

6. Serena

Serena van der Woodsen. Will there ever be a fashion icon quite like her? (Gossip Girl)

7. Gabrielle

Oh, how Eva Longoria had us entertained as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives.

8. Haley

Modern Family fans might be tempted by this name. And we don’t blame then – it is all sorts of pretty.

9. Carrie

There is only one Carrie Bradshaw. But we seriously wouldn’t blame you for also naming your little lady after our very favourite fashionista. (Sex and the City)

10. Jenna

If you are a fan of Pretty Little Liars, you might like this particular moniker.

11. Quinn

She will be the star of the show. (Glee)

12. Charlotte

Oh, Charlotte York; we are still obsessing over her Audrey Hepburn-ish style choices, all these years later. (Sex and the City)

13. Samantha

Any Sex and the City fans will no doubt also be a Samantha Jones fan. I mean; how could you not?

14. Lorelei

With the revival of Gilmore Girls last year, we predict this name will soon be racing up the charts.

15. Cora

A Downton Abbey fan? Cora might be to your liking.

16. Stella

We love Stella – and the How I Met Your Mother reference won’t be lost on fans either.

17. Miranda

You cannot help but love Miranda and her sensibility (Sex and the City)

18. Olivia

If Scandal has you hooked, we think Olivia might be the name for you.

19. Kalinda

We love this name from The Good Wife.

20. Joey

Ah, Joey. The girl who nearly broke the friendship between Dawson and Pacey in Dawson’s Creek.

21. Ziva

X, W and Z names are predicted to be huge and we particularly love this one from NCIS.
