24 baby names inspired by this year’s Oscar nominees (that you’ll definitely want to steal)

Settling on that magical moniker for your baby can be tricky enough.

Some people want a totally unique name, to try and make sure that their little one won’t be sharing a moniker with half the class when school time starts.

Other parents are searching for one that is meaningful – but still means that their child won’t be spelling out their name for the rest of their lives.

And there’s about a thousand and one different factors in between that could influence parents’ choice of moniker.

That includes what’s on the telly – or even what’s on at the cinemas. Especially in the wake of the Oscar nominations this week.

Here are 24 baby names inspired by this year’s Oscar nominees (that you’ll totally want to steal).
