Nancy Drew PC Game Characters

  1. Mickey

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Michael

    • Description:

      Pugnacious and spunky like the young Mickey Rooney and the original Mickey Mouse, but virtually never given to babies today.
  2. Mike

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Michael

    • Description:

      Unlike Jake or Sam, few parents put Mike on the birth certificate.
  3. Miles

    • Origin:

      English form of Milo, Latin and Old German,"soldier or merciful"

    • Meaning:

      "soldier or merciful"

    • Description:

      Miles, which has a permanent veneer of cool thanks to jazz great Miles Davis, is a confident and polished boys' name that's an American classic. Always ranking in the US Top 1000, it's been drifting up the charts for the past half century and now ranks at its highest point ever, in the Top 50.
  4. Millie

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Mildred or Millicent

    • Meaning:

      "gentle strength; strong in work"

    • Description:

      Millie is back. It's a popular name throughout much of the English-speaking world, and broke the US Top 100 in 2024. Millicent would be an appealing long form, but many people are using Millie all by its cute self.
  5. Minette

    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "faithful defender"

    • Description:

      Frenchified name rarely used in France. And perhaps even more rarely used in the US -- there were NO baby girls given the name on the official records of 2021.
  6. Mitch

    • Description:

      Mitch is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive of Mitchell, which itself began as a surname derived from the name Michael, meaning "who is like God?" in Hebrew. Mitch emerged as a standalone given name in the mid-20th century, reflecting the American tendency to use nicknames as formal names. It peaked in popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, conveying a friendly, approachable quality with its short, punchy sound. The name carries associations with masculinity and straightforwardness. While its usage has declined since its peak, Mitch maintains a steady presence and evokes a certain unpretentious charm. Famous bearers include baseball player Mitch Williams and author Mitch Albom, adding to the name's cultural resonance.

  7. Moira

    • Origin:

      Irish, variation of Mary

    • Meaning:

      "bitter; beloved; drop of the sea"

    • Description:

      Well-established Irish and Scottish name that has never really caught on across the pond. Remembered by an older generation as the beautiful red-haired ballerina in the film The Red Shoes, Moira Shearer.
  8. Monique

    • Origin:

      French variation of Monica

    • Meaning:

      "advisor"

    • Description:

      The sort of oh-so-French name that's falling out of favor now.
  9. Meryl
    • Miwako
      • Nancy

        • Origin:

          English diminutive of Ann or Agnes, Hebrew; Greek

        • Meaning:

          "grace; pure"

        • Description:

          To some, Nancy is a sweet, sparkly, vintage choice with plenty of energy and style. For it strays too much into '"old-lady" territory to be cool again yet. It's out of fashion in France, New Zealand, and Canada; it lingers towards to bottom of the US charts. In the UK however, Nancy has been a Top 100 name for nearly a decade where it fits right in with Evie, Mabel, and Pippa.
      • Ned

        • Origin:

          English, diminutive of Edward

        • Meaning:

          "wealthy guardian"

        • Description:

          Ned is a gently old-fashioned Nancy Drew-Bobbsey Twins-era short form for Edward that sounds cooler than Ed and is enjoying a small style renaissance.
      • Nicholas

        • Origin:

          Greek

        • Meaning:

          "people of victory"

        • Description:

          Nicholas is derived from the Greek Nikolaos, a name that evolved from the components nikē, meaning "victory", and laos, "people." It shares origins with Nike, the name of the Greek goddess of victory. Nicholas is also a New Testament name that is well-used in literature, such as in Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby.
      • Nigel

        • Origin:

          Irish

        • Meaning:

          "dark, black-haired"

        • Description:

          A name that Yanks might see as overly British, but combined with the right surname, it does have a measure of Sherlock Holmesian dash via Nigel Bruce, who played the original Dr. Watson to Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes.
      • Nikki

        • Origin:

          Diminutive of Nicole or Indian, Punjabi, Sikh

        • Meaning:

          "people of victory; little one"

        • Description:

          Nikki was the it-girl name of the 1970s and '80s as both a short form of Top 10 favorite Nicole and as a given name itself.
      • Niko

        • Origin:

          Finnish variation of Nichoals; diminutive of Nikolaos, Greek

        • Meaning:

          "victory of the people"

        • Description:

          Popular in Croatia, Spain, New Zealand, and Slovenia, Niko has also been rising up the US popularity charts for boys since the late 2000s. Fresher than Nicholas, spikier than Nico, it currently ranks just outside the US Top 300.
      • Niobe

        • Origin:

          Greek mythology name

        • Description:

          The mythological queen whose perpetual weeping for her slain children turned her into a stone has always cast a pall over this name. Still, when other names with less-than-savory associations -- Delilah, Ophelia, Persephone -- are becoming popular, parents might want to consider this one of the more unusual mythology names for girls.
      • Ollie

        • Origin:

          Diminutive of Oliver, Latin

        • Meaning:

          "olive tree"

        • Description:

          Down-home nickname name once associated with the friendly dragon on kids' TV. As Oliver rises, we may well hear more Ollies.
      • Paige

        • Origin:

          English, occupational name

        • Meaning:

          "page to a lord"

        • Description:

          Paige is more name, and less word than the occupational Page. Paige is also sleek and sophisticated a la Brooke and Blair and reached as high as Number 47 in 2003, when there was a very popular television show, Trading Spaces, hosted by the energetic Paige Davis.
      • Patrick

        • Origin:

          Latin

        • Meaning:

          "noble, patrician"

        • Description:

          Patrick, long tied to a hyper-Irish image, is enjoying something of a renaissance as a stylish classic, as it has long been considered in England. Along with such choices as Charles and George, Patrick has escaped overuse in recent decades.
