There are a few different approaches when it comes to picking a baby name. First, you can always flip through those tried-and-true baby name books for inspiration. However, if you want to be more creative with this, you can always let pop culture be your guide. After all, the name you choose will be with your baby for life (no pressure or anything!), so why not let some of the most popular TV shows and movies of our time be your muse?
Take the 1999 cult classic cruel intentionsFor example. At first glance, you might think that such a risqué movie would not help with any baby-related issues. However, if you think about it, as disgusting as some of these characters are, they offer a ton of potential baby names for your little bundle of joy. And, luckily, there’s also a cruel intentions The series has been ordered by Prime Video for eight episodes, which is bound to draw even more attention to the original films it’s based on, making these names more relevant than ever. It would be a shame to squander this opportunity—or, as some would say, utterly cruel.
1. Sebastian
This name of Greek and Latin origin means “venerable,” a word used to describe someone who is greatly admired or respected because of their age or status. It feels quite fitting for this particular Sebastian, who is initially considered a jerk but ends up dying for the woman he loves. If that’s not admirable, what is?
2.Catherine
Kathryn is of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word Catarosmeaning “pure”. It might not be a good fit for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Kathryn, as she proves to be very impure, but it might be perfect for your kids. This particular spelling variation is also very beautiful and unique, which will make your child stand out – in a good way!
3. Annette
Annette is derived from the name Anne, which is of French origin and means “grace” and “favor” – a winning combination for the film’s heroine, who ultimately reveals that Catherine and her of heinous crimes. She defeated her enemies and gained victory. You know, except for the part where she loses her boyfriend, but let’s try not to think about that part right now.
4. Cecil
Cecile is of French origin and means “blind,” which at the time was often associated with high intelligence and even foresight. So, not only does it have a nice name, but it also has a pretty interesting background.
5. Brian
The name belongs to the character played by Joshua Jackson in the movie, and I think we can all agree on that, which is reason enough to love it. But if you’re interested in learning more, Blaine contains Gaelic origins and is said to mean “yellow,” which of course is a bright and vibrant color that will perfectly represent your child.
6.Ronald
Ronald is derived from the Scottish name Rögnvaldr, which means “powerful advisor” or “ruler,” giving it an air of importance that makes the name even more attractive. Plus, you can always call him Ron as a nickname, which is cute too.
7. Rabbit
Speaking of cute, this name is definitely associated with cute animals that love to jump. However, the word can also represent fertility (given that rabbits have a tendency to, you know, take), and occasionally as a funny nickname for a loved one. So if you’re looking for a name that’s a little less common, it’s best toJump Get on this one while you still can. (Sorry, I just can’t control myself.)
8. Greg
The word is often used as a shortened form of the name Gregory, which is derived from the Greek word meaning “alert” and “vigilant.” It’s definitely the most common name on this list, so if you’re looking for something more traditional, this is a good choice.
9. Marcy
Then again, if you’re interested in something a little out of this world, Marci originates from Latin and means “dedicated to Mars.” Yes, really! Since Mars is the Roman god of war, it’s kind of cool that your child’s name would be seen as a kind of warrior or protector. Perhaps Tara Reed’s character takes solace in the fact that her brief tryst with Sebastian goes sour.
10. Court
This character barely appears in the movie, but since he is the driving force behind Catherine’s rage, I felt he deserved to be included, especially because of his rather unique Old English name, which means “courtier,” “brave,” or “brave.” court land”.
