Looking for a Baby Name With Main-Character Energy? Try These
A few classic rom-com names that could suit your next leading lady or leading man.
If you love a good romantic comedy, Scary Mommy has some baby name inspiration pulled straight from the genre's most memorable characters. The roundup leans into names that feel a little spunky for girls and a little classic for boys, the outlet notes.
Among the picks: Andie, a nickname for Andrea that nods to both Andie Anderson from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Andy Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada. There's also Harry, described as a timeless choice with a nod to When Harry Met Sally and a bit of British charm.
Noah made the list too, a callback to Allie and Noah's love story in The Notebook, according to Scary Mommy. It's a sweet way to sneak a little movie magic into your baby name search without going overboard on the theme.
