Chappell Roan, a self-proclaimed “thrift store pop star,” quickly became part of mainstream culture. With her amazingly powerful voice and catchy pop songs, she continues to make an impression on the music industry.
Cappell Roan seemingly suddenly became an absolute icon with five Billboard Hot 100 hits. (If you haven’t seen her performance of “Good Luck, Babe” at the VMAs, gosh, do it as soon as you can!) Roan deservedly won the Best New Artist award.
While she’s no stranger to the music industry, she’s already made a big impact, especially as a queer artist with a penchant for performing in drag. Ron also stands out for setting clear boundaries in his interactions with fans, he told us rolling stones Below: “‘I chose this career path because I love music and art and respect the child within me; I will not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor should I.
So, if you are a big fan of HOTTOGO and now have a baby ONTHEWAY, I have some ideas for you. As long as you promise to stay calm and use these names to honor this amazing singer and not harass her, okay?
chappell
Starting with the most obvious name, inspo, Chappell means “to live near an asylum.” If any Pearl fans ask where your baby’s name came from, just tell them Chappelle Rowan’s own answer: You were inspired by your grandfather’s favorite song.
Rouin
You can also easily have the surname Roan as a first name. Originated from Ireland, meaning “little redhead”. Sharon Stone chose this name for one of her three sons, but the name really works for either gender.
Nova
Well, other parents will definitely judge you if you name your kid “Red Wine,” but if you like the catchy song “Red Wine Supernova,” you can go with this more elegant option. Nova refers to a bright star, so the name is fitting for a future superstar.
Monica
If you’ve ever dreamed of leaving Tennessee for Santa Monica, literally or figuratively, allow me to give you some advice (in the form of this name). Literally, “advice” is one of the meanings of the name Monica, which is derived from Santa Monica.
santos or santana
A pair of names inspired by The Pink Pony Club are these two variations of the name Santa Claus (great if you also love Christmas?). All variations of this name mean “saint,” but just to warn you: giving your baby an angelic name doesn’t mean you’re immune to dealing with scary kids.
fortune, felicity or felix
These names all mean “lucky,” although if you put them in the title of Chappell Roan’s most played song on Spotify, they probably wouldn’t roll off your tongue easily. “Good Felix, baby” doesn’t sound the same, but it’s still a cute name.
Kendra
This baby girl name means “bold strength” and “understanding,” making it a great choice for your little girl!
sun
In Baltic mythology, Saulė is the name of the Lithuanian sun goddess who traveled across the sky in a bronze chariot. Therefore, the name is interpreted as “sunlight” or sun. In other words, it’s HOTTOGO—along with the other names on this hot summer baby name list (Blaze and Solstice are two other standouts).
Kelly Ross
If you want a more subtle tribute to the singer, you can choose one of these names (or both), which together are Chappelle Rowan’s birth name. Kelly means “crown” and “keeper of keys”.
Sasha
Fans of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” will recognize the name, as it’s the name of season 15 winner Sasha Colby, who introduced Chappell Roan’s VMA performance. Chappell Roan is famous for her quote “I’m your favorite artist’s favorite artist,” which is a reference to Sasha Colby’s catchphrase “I’m your favorite artist.” A variation of “Favorite Drag Queen Favorite Drag Queen”.

The name Sisu is derived from the Finnish word meaning “strength” and “resilience,” reflecting Chappell’s own tenacity.
Cheers to your future pink pony who will one day dance in the baby club (aka music and movement class).
