Surf's Up! These 7 Baywatch Baby Names Are Making Waves

Planning on having a summer baby — or just want to inspire the love of warm weather in your little one? There are many summer-themed baby names, but you can always look to "Baywatch" for inspiration to add some salty-air-and-summertime vibes to your choice.

The original series, full of red-hot swimsuits, perilous situations, and steamy romances, aired from 1989 to 2001, and starred David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, and many others. Now is a great time to find a baby name from this series, as the show is set for a reboot to premiere on Fox in 2027. Both series are full of cool characters with sweet names that bring a spirit of adventure and sunshine to your son or daughter.

Whether you grew up watching "Baywatch" or not, there's no denying this series had a huge impact on pop culture. Plus, many of the characters had interesting meanings or are unusual choices in this decade, making them fun choices. These seven caught our eye, but if you want more inspiration, it's always a good time for a rewatch!

Made famous by actor David Hasselhoff, Mitch Buchannon was the head lifeguard on "Baywatch" in the original series. He is fearless, adventurous, and full of charisma — any baby would be lucky to have a name inspired by him. Fittingly, Mitch means "who is like God" and "big." Perfect for this larger-than-life man!

C.J. is the most popular (and prettiest!) lifeguard on the Baywatch team, and her name, Casey Jean, makes for a beautiful option for your baby girl. This Irish name means "brave in battle," which C.J. certainly is when saving lives. Although Casey has fallen in popularity since its peak in 1986 as the 80^th most popular baby name, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration, it's high time to bring it back. (Giving your daughter a J middle name is optional.)

Lifeguard Matt Brody joined "Baywatch" in 1992, where he helped in rescue missions and even dated C.J. He definitely brought extra sizzle to the beach with his dreamy hair. His last name, Brody, makes for a cool first name for a baby boy. It means "protector," which is perfect for a lifeguard-in-the-making.

Isn't Summer just a delightful name for a baby girl? And so fitting for fans of "Baywatch," since going to the beach is often considered a summer activity, and because one of the lifeguards was named Summer. She joined the series in the third season, immediately diving into the action. Her name immediately brings to mind sunshine, surfing, and fun.

Hobie Buchannon is Mitch's son in the original series. In the 2027 reboot, he is all grown up and the new "Baywatch" captain, taking over for his dad. Hobie is a unique boy name of American origin that means "bright" or "shining intellect," making this unusual name even better!

Charlie is such an adorable name for your baby girl. In the 2027 "Baywatch," it's the name of Hobie Buchannon's daughter, who surprises her dad with her existence and learns about life on the beach from him. The gender-neutral name means "free man" or "warrior," exactly how you would want to describe someone saving your life.

Brooks Nader stars as Selene in the 2027 reboot of "Baywatch," and her fierce attitude and drop-dead gorgeous looks are enough reason to want to name a baby after her. Plus, the name Selene sounds soft and feminine, and it means "goddess of the moon." Selene is absolutely divine, and a fun option for a baby girl.
