10 Baby Names Inspired By Taylor Swift Songs

If you're a Swiftie and you're expecting, chances are you've been humming your favorite Taylor Swift songs throughout your pregnancy. At this point, we'd wager that a love of Taylor Swift music begins in the womb. It's only natural, then, to see her extensive catalog as a source of naming inspiration for your little bundle. With well over 200 songs from the youngest ever inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, there are plenty of Taylor-inspired names from which to choose.

Needless to say, our list is just a starting point. In fact, there are so many themes and names throughout her catalog that it's best to begin there — with the songs that make you a fan, and let your own experience of her music guide you to the perfect name for your little Swiftie in the making.

For instance, fans aren't likely to care that location-inspired baby names are on a downward trend, with names like London, Cornelia, and Paris all giving a nod to TS songs. If your partner isn't as much of a Taylor fan, you can compromise with other celebrities mentioned throughout her catalog, like Tim McGraw, James Dean, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Dylan Thomas, and Elizabeth Taylor — just to name a few. There are also plenty of thematic names to explore, such as literary references (Romeo and Juliet from "Love Song," Alice from "Wonderland," along with songs like "Cassandra" and "Peter") and the seasons (inspired by songs like "Cruel Summer," "Forever Winter," and "Back to December"). Need a name that feels like a love story? Here are 10 of our favorite baby names inspired by Taylor Swift songs.

A song named after Taylor's maternal grandmother, "Marjorie" is also a name with sentimental significance for the singer. The song incorporates some of the pearls of wisdom Swift gleaned from her grandmother as she sings of how she continues to feel her presence, even after her passing. Fittingly, the name Marjorie means "pearl." Choosing the name for your baby can be a way to honor someone you've lost and symbolize their ongoing presence in your life.

Taylor Swift's longest album, "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," is chock-full of names to consider for your little one. In fact, one song fits four names right in the title: "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus." Any would make a cute Swiftie baby name and they are all popular picks, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, Sophia makes our list as the only name out of the four that has been in the top five SSA name rankings for 15 out of the past 20 years.

The name of a song from the album "Lover," Archer has been steadily climbing the ranks in popular baby boy names for over a decade, and is currently at its highest ranking in recent history at No. 98. It's a name with British and French origins that means, not surprisingly, "bowman." Swift uses the term self-referentially in the song "The Archer," which is also fitting for her as a Sagittarius (Latin for, you guessed it, "archer"). If your baby shares Swift's zodiac sign, Archer is a name rich in meaning and significance.

Ophelia is a unique name with a rich history that has nearly doubled in popularity over the past decade. Ophelia has Greek origins, meaning "help" and "advantage," and is most well-known as the name of the character in Shakespeare's "Hamlet." In her latest album, "Life of a Showgirl," Swift sings of fearing a similar cruel fate of the Shakespearean character, but was saved when her now-husband, Travis Kelce, came into her life. 

Whether your baby is due in August or you love the song (or both!) August is a beautiful summer-themed name for boys and girls alike. In her documentary, "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions," Swift explained that the song "August" is about a summer fling between two fictional characters, James (male) and Augustine (female), so you've got options on how to incorporate this name. Both August and Augustine are Latin for "exalted" and "venerable," and they are more popular as boys' names — which would make using either for a baby girl especially Taylor Swift-inspired.

The song "Clara Bow" draws comparisons of Taylor Swift to the silent film actress known as the original "It Girl." Clara Bow reached the height of her fame in the late 1920s, so the name Clara is due to make a comeback thanks to the 100-year baby name rule. Clara has Latin origins, meaning "clear," "bright," "shining," or, appropriately for the song, "famous." The name has been steadily on the rise since 2000, and hit its highest popularity ranking yet in 2025 at No. 63, according to the SSA. 

Want a classic name that honors lifelong friendship? Abigail is Swift's best friend and is mentioned in the song "Fifteen." The name is Hebrew for "father's joy," and would be a fitting choice for a Swiftie dad. While the name has slipped in popularity in the past five years (from 17 to 41 in the SSA rankings), Abigail is a timeless name that will never go out of style.

Willow has Old English roots, referring to the strong and elegant willow tree. The song "Willow" kicks off Swift's album "Evermore," and is very much a whole witchy, ethereal, fairycore vibe. Swift referenced the willow as a symbol of resilience in the way its branches bend but do not break in the lyric, "Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind." The girl's name has catapulted into popularity over the past 20 years and has been in the top 50 SSA-ranked names since 2019. A song from the same album, "Ivy" is another nature-inspired Swiftie name.

"Ronan" is one of Swift's most touching songs of all time. Inspired by Maya Thompson's blog posts chronicling her young son's terminal battle with cancer, Swift wove Thompson's own words throughout the song, and she includes Thompson as a writer in its credits. Swift released the single to benefit cancer charities with Thompson's blessing. A sweet, playful Irish name meaning "little seal," the name Ronan has been on the rise in popularity in recent years.

The last time the name Betty made it in the SSA's top 1,000 names was in 1996, and just barely, claiming spot 904. However, the full name Elizabeth has remained in the top 20 since then. For Swifties, Betty can reference two songs, "Betty" and "Elizabeth Taylor," making it a doubly sweet name for your little princess. If you want a more unusual name (at least in the United States), consider the other name mentioned in "Betty" — Inez.
