We all love a bit of movie magic to transport us from our daily lives into the drama of another time and place.

Movie characters have for a long time inspired the names that we choose for our babies and I wasn’t immune myself naming my children Eric (The Little Mermaid) and Alice (Alice in Wonderland).

For this list, we didn’t simply go for movie character names but names that appear in the titles of movies and there’s something to suit everyone. From musicals like Annie to foreign language movies like Amelie, you’re sure to find something you love in these 20 fantastic film title baby names!
