5 Baby Names Inspired By Taylor Swift Songs

Everyone knows Taylor Swift isn't afraid to name-drop when it comes to her song lyrics, which is why her discography is chock-full of monikers that would make adorable baby names. Her narrative songwriting and talent for storytelling have made it possible for Swift to sing about myriad named characters, both real and fictional. Some names are revealed in the lyrics of her songs, like the mention of "Este" in "No Body, No Crime" or Rebekah in "The Last Great American Dynasty." Meanwhile, other songs feature a name as the actual title, like her songs "Peter," "Betty," and "Cassandra."

Just like Taylor Swift's stunning beauty evolution over the years, her imaginative songwriting has advanced along the way. Some of the classic names mentioned in her earlier songs, like "Abigail" in "Fifteen," or "Drew" in "Teardrops on My Guitar," made way for some of the more unique characters in later song lyrics, like "Ophelia" from "The Fate of Ophelia" and "Kitty" in "The Life of a Showgirl." Many Swifties love to pay homage to the music superstar by making friendship bracelets with song lyrics or getting Taylor Swift-inspired tattoos to commemorate the Eras Tour. And for some diehard fans, naming a child after Swift's music isn't out of the question, either. For anyone looking for some Swiftie-coded baby names, we have gathered five options you may want to add to your list. 

For any Taylor Swift fan and future parent looking for a whimsical name for their little one, Willow is a perfectly graceful and ethereal-sounding option. "Willow' is the name of the lead single from Swift's December 2020 album "evermore," a record that is characterized by a rustic, woodsy atmosphere and cozy flannel vibes. Swift doesn't use Willow as the name of a person in her song, though — instead, she uses the metaphor of a flowing, resilient willow tree to get her mystical message across.

Swift sings in the song, "Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind," seemingly using the flexibility of a willow tree to help describe the intense magnetic pull between lovers. Swift's clever song title, plus the characteristics of the actual type of tree, make Willow a great earthy, nature-themed moniker. It's a perfect name option for a baby girl, particularly one who will always be encouraged to follow her heart and go with the wind.

Marjorie is not only a beautifully old-fashioned name, but it also has deep roots in the Swiftie-verse. Taylor Swift released the song "Marjorie" as a tribute to her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, who was a professional opera singer. In the song, Swift sings about losing her grandmother following her death in 2003, while she reflects on some of the biggest life lessons and stories she learned from her. At one point in the song, Swift sings, "Watched as you signed your name Marjorie/All your closets of backlogged dreams/And how you left them all to me."

"Marjorie" is a special song for many Swifties, as it contains relatable lyrics for anyone who has lost a loved one. Many fans appreciate the message of lessons and dreams being passed on through generations, as well as the idea that "what died didn't stay dead," as Swift says in the song. Marjorie is likely to appeal to parents looking for a vintage-style name with a rich meaning behind it. It would make a fitting baby name for any parent hoping to mimic the same reverence that Swift has for her late grandmother, or pay tribute in a similar way to a special loved one who has passed on in their own family. 

Cornelia is a great option for fans and expectant parents who are trying to find something a bit more unique, but still inspired by Taylor Swift's music. Unlike some of her other songs that explicitly feature a person's name in the title or the lyrics, Cornelia comes from the song "Cornelia Street" off of Swift's 2019 album "Lover." The song refers to an actual street in the West Village of Manhattan, where Swift rented a townhouse for a brief time between 2016 and 2017 while her Tribeca property was undergoing renovations.

The song "Cornelia Street" is all about being afraid of losing something precious. Swift sings in the lyrics, "I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends/I'd never walk Cornelia Street again." In another line, she says, "And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name." Cornelia could be a good pick for parents who want to give a subtle nod to New York City and reference a bit of Swiftie lore with their little one's name.

Taylor Swift included a song called "Robin" on her 2024 album "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." It may be one of the less popular tracks from the 31-song album, but the tender song has an adorable message that provides some sweet baby name inspiration. "Robin" is sung from the perspective of someone talking to a child, and features the lyrics "Way to go, Tiger," in the chorus. Other lines, like "You have no room in your dreams for regrets," and "We'll curtail your curiosity/In sweetness," further reference the idea of preserving one's innocence.

"Robin" is rumored to have been titled after the son of Swift's frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner, who co-wrote and co-produced the song with Swift. Dessner welcomed a baby boy named Robin in 2015, which proves that Robin is a versatile and unisex baby name. It's a particularly good name choice for expectant parents who are waiting until their baby is born to find out the sex, but know that they want to bring a Swiftie touch to the naming process.

Dorothea is the perfect baby name for parents who are looking for something a little different. And since not everyone is going to like the name you choose for your baby, it may be worth taking Meghan Markle's baby-naming advice that comes down to not doing one crucial thing. But for those Swiftie parents who love a unique name with a special meaning, Dorothea could make a great fit.

"Dorothea" is the title of one of Taylor Swift's songs from her "evermore" album, and it might have one of the sweetest messages in all of her discography. The track is believed to have been written about Swift's bestie Selena Gomez, who confirmed in March 2026 that their longstanding friendship served as the inspiration behind the lyrics. During the song, Swift sings, "And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know/You know, you'll always know me." For parents who want to honor Swift's message of friendship and having someone you can always rely on, Dorothea could be just what you're looking for.
