In our family the Holiday season brings so many special traditions like picking out a Christmas tree, matching Christmas jammies, driving around finding Christmas lights, but one of our favorite traditions is cozy nights snuggled up watching Christmas movies.
My kids have already been watching the animated Grinch movie on repeat, while my hubby and I have already been reciting lines from Christmas Vacation which is our favorite movie to watch once our littles are asleep! Here are ten cute girl and boy names inspired by classic and newer Christmas movies!
Girl Names:
Cindy from “The Grinch”
Did I mention my kids have been watching The Grinch on repeat? This is such a cute name and I’d pair it with a longer middle name like Cindy Elizabeth.
Violet from “It’s a Wonderful Life”
With a name like this “It’s a Wonderful Life”!
Kate from “Four Christmases”
No Not Cottie Kate, just Kate! Seriously I love a short and sweet name like this for a little girl!
Margo from “Christmas Vacation”
“I Don’t Know MARGO!” This name would be cute as is or could be short of Margaret or Margarette!
Bethany from “Christmas Vacation”
My favorite name on the list because who doesn’t love sweet Aunt Bethany!
Betty and Judy from “White Christmas”
“Sisters, sisters – There were never such devoted sisters!” I love these classic names for sisters or twins! Also I’m sure Betty is making a comeback given it’s the name of one of Blake Lively’s daughters.
Jovie from “Elf”
The most unique name on the list and I’d love to see it spelled Jovey!
Doris from “Miracle on 34th Street”
Classic names are making a resurgence and I’m loving this classic name from arguably the most classic Christmas movie on our list!
Clarice from “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
Cutest name on the list for an equally adorable baby girl!
Aurelia from “Love Actually”
This is one movie I watch every year and this she’s one of my favorite characters with such a beautiful name! Love how beautiful this name sounds!
Boy Names:
Clark from “Christmas Vacation”
“”She’s a Beaut, Clark!” Love this classic name for a little guy who is bound to be a “family man!”
Eddie from “Christmas Vacation”
I mean we couldn’t have Clark without Cousin Eddie! Love this name for a little guy either just as is or short for Edward!
Kevin from “Home Alone”
Can you just hear “KEVIN!” This name may be classic 90’s, but I think it’s still pretty great!
Fuller from “Home Alone”
Okay hear me out, if you can take this name and detach it from it’s character it is actually the coolest on the list!
Fred from “Miracle on 34th Street”
CLASSIC and simple. Not that many Fred’s these days, but that is the charm of it!
Ralphie from “A Christmas Story”
I mean I debated putting this on the girl’s name list because I truly think “Ralphy” sounds like such a cute girl name. For this as a boy’s name I might just go with Ralph and use Ralphie as a cutesy nickname until your little guy is a bit older!
Sam from “Love Actually”
The cute little boy who teaches us all a thing or two about love I have a feeling a little boy with this name would do the same!
Hermey from “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
Such as unique name for a little buy inspired by an elf who wasn’t afraid to stand up for what he really wanted to be a dentist!
Buddy from “Elf”
Seriously, this name is super cute! Apparently Buddy can be a nickname for William and I’m hear for this super cute combo that is sure to be just as sweet as the character this name is based off of!
Luther from “Christmas with the Kranks”
This is a newer movies, but it packs in the laughs and I love the uniqueness of this main character for a little guy!
Hope this list inspired you to find a classic, cute, unique, or beautiful name for your little one this Christmas season! Curious are there other Christmas or Holiday movies that inspired your little ones’ name?
Be sure to grab a Christmas personalized blanket for your little elf from Caden Lane.
