A list of names for Star Wars fan parents that one might actually give to their baby (so not like, “Yoda” or something). Some of these are “real names” (not that you can’t give these names to a child or pet). Some if these where made up for the Star Wars franchise. And some where made up but became popular enough to become a “real name”, depending on what that term means to you. Boys names include: -Ben (Solo and others have had this name), A.K.A. Kylo Ren, from the sequels -Bail (Organa), the senator who raised Leia, from The Clone Wars and other movies -Bodhi (Rook), the pilot, from Rogue One -Alexander (Kallus), ISB agent, from Rebels -Cassian (Andor), Rebel hero, from Rogur One -Baze (Malbus), Rebel hero, from Rogue One -Anakin (Skywalker), The Chosen One (later Darth Vader), from the Prequals, Clone Wars, and Originals (sorta) -Andor (Cassian’s last name), Rebel Hero, from Rogue One -Caleb (Dume), Jedi Knight, from Rebels -Cob (Vanth), “The Marshal”, from The Mandalorian -Cal (Kestis), Jedi-in-exile, from (Star Wars:Jedi) Fallen Order (video game) -
  1. Adi

    • Description:

      Adi is a versatile unisex name with rich multicultural origins, though primarily used for girls in Western contexts. In Sanskrit, Adi means 'first' or 'beginning,' while in Hebrew it can mean 'ornament' or 'jewel.' The name also appears in Indonesian, Germanic traditions, and as a nickname for names like Adelaide or Adina. Its brevity and international recognition make it appealing across cultural boundaries. Adi's simplicity belies its depth of meaning and cultural significance, particularly in Hindu tradition where 'Adi' refers to the primordial or first principle. The name's short, melodic sound with soft consonants gives it a gentle yet distinct quality. For parents seeking a minimalist name with global appeal and spiritual undertones, Adi offers elegant simplicity.
  2. Alexander

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "defending men"

    • Description:

      Alexander has been in a Top 25 boys' name in the US for 30 years now. But namers are still attracted to its imposing historic pedigree.
  3. Allie

    • Origin:

      Variation or diminutive of Alexandra, Alice or Allison; Greek, German or Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "defending men or noble"

    • Description:

      Allie is one short form that's gotten so popular it's often used as a name on its own. Cute, friendly, yet we'd recommend using one of the proper names such as Alice to give your daughter an option.
  4. Amidala

    • Origin:

      Italian

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful flower"

    • Description:

      An attractive enough name, but for die-hard Star Wars fans only.
  5. Amilyn

    • Origin:

      Variation of Ameline or Emmeline

    • Description:

      Amilyn is one of those names that sounds and feels a lot like other more popular names, from Emmeline to Amelia to Adeline, but was given to fewer than five baby girls in the US in 2021. This is despite the Star Wars character Amilyn Holdo -- General Leia's deputy in the most recent trilogy, played by Laura Dern. Seven baby girls were given the name in 2018, but it has not seen the lasting success of Kylo or Rey (or indeed Leia).
  6. Anakin

    • Origin:

      American invented name

    • Description:

      Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, is the antagonist in the original Star Wars trilogy. The name Anakin first entered the US Top 1000 in 2014. Its meaning is unknown but is thought to be an homage to a friend of George Lucas.
  7. Andor

    • Origin:

      Norwegian; Swedish; Hungarian

    • Meaning:

      "eagle; manly"

    • Description:

      Unusual but accessible multi-cultural choice.
  8. Aayla
    • Ahsoka
      • Alrich
        • Arindha
          • Armitage
            • Asajj
              • Aurra
                • Bail

                  • Description:

                    Bail is an uncommon masculine name with multiple potential origins. It could derive from the Old French 'baile' meaning 'bearer' or guardian, or from the Scottish surname Bail, which may have occupational roots. In legal contexts, 'bail' refers to security or guarantee, potentially giving the name connotations of reliability and trust. As a given name, Bail remains quite rare globally, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something truly uncommon. The name's brevity gives it a modern, minimalist appeal, while its familiar sound (rhyming with names like Dale or Gail) makes it accessible despite its uniqueness. Bail has not traditionally appeared on popularity charts, remaining a genuinely unusual selection.

                • Baze

                  • Origin:

                    Contemporary nickname, Armenian

                  • Meaning:

                    "king; falcon, hawk"

                  • Description:

                    Baze is a nouveau nickname that originated on the TV show "Life Unexpected," as the short form consistently used for the character Nathaniel (Nate) Bazile. Its similarity to the name Blaise lends it a feeling of authenticity, as does the fact it could work as a nickname to Basil or even Sebastian.
                • Beckett

                  • Origin:

                    English and Irish

                  • Meaning:

                    "bee hive, little brook or bee cottage"

                  • Description:

                    Beckett is one of the big baby name hits of the decade.
                • Ben

                  • Origin:

                    Hebrew

                  • Meaning:

                    "son of"

                  • Description:

                    Ben, the diminutive of Benjamin or Benedict, can easily stand on its own as a simple, strong, nice-guy choice, though it's somewhat attenuated. Ben is this generation's Bob or Bill.
                • Bliss

                  • Origin:

                    English word name

                  • Description:

                    A sweet, uplifting and still fairly uncommon modern virtue name. Its single syllable makes it especially good as a middle name, but it would also make a big impact in the first spot.
                • Bodhi

                  • Origin:

                    Sanskrit

                  • Meaning:

                    "awakening, enlightenment"

                  • Description:

                    Bodhi is a Sanskrit name translated as "enlightenment" or "awakening" which relates to a Buddhist concept, wherein Bodhi is synonymous with the state of nirvana, being freed from hate, greed and ego. The Bodhi tree is a large fig tree under which the founder of Buddhism received enlightenment. Spelling variations include Bodie and Bode.
