About Acton
Chosen by novelist Anne Brontë as her pseudonym when she first began to publish her work in the mid-19th century, this buttoned-up and strong sounding surname-name could make an interesting literary choice.
Acton for girls
With a cool nature meaning, it also doubles up as a place name: Acton is one of the highest peaks in Antarctica.
Acton for boys
This name's buttoned-up British vibe is what makes it cool - that, and the fact that it was chosen by Anne Bronte as her pseudonym - Acton Bell. That's quite the literary - and may we add feminist - credential for a name. For those with an adventurous edge, Acton is one of the highest peaks in Antarctica.
Pronounced AK-tun.
As of October 2026, Acton ranked #12185 for boys in US births in 2018 SSA.
