Sounds obvious but immerse yourself in Taylor Swift songs because her lyrics are rich with inspiration.
Read up on Taylor Swift’s life and find out who’s important to her, from her super supportive mum Andrea and dad Scott to her boyfriend Travis and her inspiration, her opera singer grandma Marjorie.
Become acquainted with the ONS top 100 lists for the most popular baby names in England and Wales along with the Central Statistics Office and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency for Irish names and the National Records of Scotland for Scottish names. Many of the popular names in these lists are associated with Taylor Swift, such as Olivia (her beloved cat) and Jack (Tortured Poets’ Department)

Choose a vintage baby name, in keeping with Taylor Swift’s whimsical albums Folklore and Evermore.
Read the classic literature Taylor Swift references within her songs. Lewis Carroll’s fictional character Alice, is clearly the inspiration for Wonderland while it’s thought that J.M Barrie’s Wendy from Peter Pan is the narrator in Taylor’s 2024 song, Peter.
Be inspired by Taylor Swift’s iconic style, from her favourite designers (Stella Macartney and Louis Vuitton are both namechecked in London Boy) to her signature red lipstick.
What is the best Taylor Swift inspired girl baby name?
Clara is a lovely vintage girl name which has recently come back stronger than a nineties trend, currently at number 93 in the ONS list. We predict big things for this old-fashioned baby name thanks to Taylor Swift’s song Clara Bow, which pays tribute to the 1920s silent movie stars of that name. A more unique pick would be Marjorie, after the singer’s beloved grandma, an opera singer who inspired Taylor to follow her dreams of becoming a singer songwriter.
What is the most popular Taylor Swift inspired baby boy name?
A popular boy name referenced in London Boy is Louis, which is at number 47 in the ONS list. If you’d prefer something a little more unique, how about August? Evoking the dreaminess of Taylor’s 2020 hit of the same name, this unique pick for a boy is of Latin origin and means ‘majestic’.
What is the coolest Taylor Swift inspired unisex baby name?
A born multitasker who’s there for ALL her fans, Taylor Swift’s very own first name works equally well for either a girl or a boy. The baby name Taylor also fits into the cool naming trend of using surnames as first names, as does another Taylor Swift inspired unisex baby name, Archer, from the song of the same name from her 2019 album, Lover.
