13 Show-Stopping Baby Names Inspired By Broadway Musicals

Trine Jensen-Burke

If you yourself are an avid musical fan, or are harbouring dreams of your little one one day becoming a star of the stage himself, we are willing to bet these names will go down a treat.

Are you ready?

OLIVER (from “Oliver”)

Vintage, classic, gorgeous.

MARIUS (from “Les Miserables”)

Marius is actually quite a common boy’s name in Scandinavia, and we think it is a gorgeous one at that.

CHRISTINE (from “The Phantom of the Opera”

First stop, twinkle toes ballet lessons. Next stop, the Paris Opera House.

ELIZA (from “My Fair Lady”)

She is a star in the making, for sure.

JET (from “Westside Story”)

The Jets is actually the name of one of the gangs in Westside Story, but we think it could also totally work as a cool boy’s name.

ANNIE (from “Annie”)

She will be the sunshine in your life, for sure.

NESSA (from “Wicked”)

Nessarose “Nessa” Thropp is the Wicked Witch of the East in Wicked.

ROXIE (from “Chicago”)

How cool is Roxie for your little lady?!

SKY (from “Mamma Mia”)

We think Sky can work for both boys and girls, and is the perfect moniker for a little ABBA fan in the making.

ELPHABA (from “Wicked”)

She will be the only one in her class with this name, for sure. And we love it.

SANDY (from “Grease”)

We found a boy (name), cute as can be.

GRETEL (from “The Sound Of Music”)

Gretel was one of the Von Trapp children in this classical musical, and we think it is an adorable name for your little lady.

RYDELL (from “Grease”)

Inspired by Rydell High School, we think this is a cool option for a girl or a boy.
