Ultimate Wizarding World Baby Names

  1. Aragog
    • Argus
      • Origin:

        Greek
      • Meaning:

        "watchful guardian"
      • Description:

        In mythology, a creature with a hundred eyes, making it a better name for a camera than a baby.
    • Artemis
      • Origin:

        Greek, diminutive of Artemios
      • Meaning:

        "safe; butcher"
      • Description:

        Best known as the the Greek Goddess of the hunt and the moon, Artemis could now be considered one of the few traditionally feminine names that are currently being used for boys. Alternatively though, when pronounced ahr-TEH-mis, it is a valid Greek masculine name – a diminutive of Artemios.
    • Ash
      • Origin:

        Diminutive of Asher, English
      • Meaning:

        "ash tree"
      • Description:

        Ash has Southern charm plus the arboreal-nature appeal. Plus your little boy will prize Ash as the name of the hero of the Pokemon cartoons. Ash can also be a dashing short form of Asher, Ashton, or any other "Ash" name.
    • Aster
      • Origin:

        English; Amharic
      • Meaning:

        "star"
      • Description:

        This is a fresh new addition to the botanical list; comedian Gilbert Gottfried made it a real bouquet when he named his daughter Lily Aster. And the name of the little girl on television's Dexter sounds like Aster, but is actually spelled Astor, which brings it more high society name. Aster relates to the Greek word for star. In Ethiopia, Aster is pronounced "ah-STAIR", and is the Amharic variation of Biblical Esther.
    • Astoria
      • Origin:

        Place name
      • Description:

        Long more associated with the New York Waldorf- hotel and the neighborhood in Queens than as a baby name, Astoria is finally beginning to emerge from their shadow and find favor with parents looking to move beyond Brooklyn. The name Astoria is drawn from the surname of titan of industry John Jacob Astor, theorized to mean "hawk."
    • Bartemius
      • Begonia
        • Origin:

          French
        • Meaning:

          "Begon's flower"
        • Description:

          Begonia is a pretty flower named for French administrator and amateur horticulturalist Michel Bégon, who was an avid naturalist but also a proponent of slavery. A rare floral choice which has never really caught on as a baby name, Begonia would certainly stand out from the Lilys and Roses.
      • Divinity
        • Origin:

          Word name, English from Latin
        • Meaning:

          "divinity"
        • Description:

          Could be a sister to Trinity, Genesis, or Heaven.
      • Bellatrix
        • Origin:

          Latin
        • Meaning:

          "female warrior"
        • Description:

          J.K. Rowling is a modern master of naming who brought a whole constellation of ancient and celestial names to modern parents. Bellatrix, of one of the stars of Orion, combines fashionable names Bella and Beatrix to make a convivial and original name. The down side: the Harry Potter character Bellatrix, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is a character so evil she's called a Death Eater, killing one beloved character and being murdered by another. And the name Bellatrix is so closely associated with that character that it might be challenging to sidestep the association.
      • Beryl
        • Black
          • Origin:

            Color name
          • Description:

            Unlike Rose and Blue, this color name is Not Ready for Prime Time.
        • Boggart
          • Brunhilda
            • Origin:

              Norse
            • Meaning:

              "armed for battle"
            • Description:

              Variant of Brunhild, still clad in heavy armor. Though the heroine Brunhilda of Quentin Tarantino's recent film Django Unchained may have given this version of the name new appeal.
          • Burgundy
            • Origin:

              French place-name; also color name
            • Description:

              It's a place. It's a wine. It's a color. -- no wonder trend-heavy Burgundy's been discovered as a name.
          • Burroughs
            • Origin:

              English
            • Meaning:

              "dwelling place"
            • Description:

              Most parents attracted to this name will be devotees of the author William and would be better off using it in the middle.
          • Buttercup
            • Origin:

              Flower name, from English
            • Meaning:

              "yellow wildflower"
            • Description:

              Though Buttercup is most often reserved for cows (and pets of other kinds), this humble flower name was given to the princess in "The Princess Bride" and to one of The Power Puff Girls. Yet to rank in the US stats, it might work best in the middle spot if you did want to use if for a baby.
          • Cadogan
            • Origin:

              Welsh
            • Meaning:

              "honor in battle"
            • Description:

              This surname borne by several early Welsh leaders has a lot of energy.
          • Canary
            • Origin:

              English
            • Meaning:

              "small bird"
            • Description:

              The name of a small yellow bird that hasn't taken off in the way that some of its avian sisters – like Robin, Wren or Lark – have.
          • Cat
            • Origin:

              Diminutive of Catherine, Greek
            • Meaning:

              "pure"
            • Description:

              May be the most modern, stylish Catherine nickname: more unusual than Kate or Cate, with an animal and word name edge. Cat Power is a trendy folksinger.
