When Taylor Swift sang, “I’ve got a blank space, baby, and I’ll write your name!” pregnant moms everywhere felt that. The only problem? What baby name will you actually write down? It’s so hard to choose! The “Karma” singer — whose 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album dropped today! — can help. Anyone whose been to her Eras tour, filled with over three hours of hits, tons of glitzy costume changes, and more to make our “Wildest Dreams” come true, knows that Swift has tons of material to draw from for inspiration. Reflecting on her 10 fabulous albums, we can’t help but think: her poetic lyrics and cottagecore vibe lend themselves to some beautiful baby names!
Just ask Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, whose daughters’ names, James, 8, Inez, 6, and Betty, 3, are all mentioned in Swift’s “Betty” from Folklore. The song isn’t about the little girls, but Swift did use their names to enrich the story, which is pretty cool.
From an autumn aesthetic on her Evermore album to the bubblegum pastel vibe of Lover, the edgy style of Reputation to the timeless style of 1989, there is so much material from which to score baby names for both boys and girls. Even casual Taylor Swift fans can find something unique and beautiful for their little one.
Baby names are special, and what’s more special than your love of Taylor Swift? You listened to her through heartbreaks, first love, and anger at sexist double standards (looking at you, “The Man.”) You’ve scream-sung her songs in the car and danced at her concerts and watched her beautiful, award-winning All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) on repeat. So, it’s the logical next step to bestow a Swift-inspired name to your newborn baby.
The Grammy winner is a clever storyteller and beautiful lyricist, so it’s no surprise that her songs would inspire the perfect baby names. If you’re a huge Swiftie, this list is for you (and make sure to come back after we listen to her new album The Tortured Poets Department)!
