27 Baby Names Inspired By Stevie Nicks Songs

Though legendary singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks never had children, as she put her career ahead of pursuing motherhood, she touched on the topic in her songwriting through the years. But the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman doesn't just sing about children, she's actually inspiring their names. 

Just like these baby names that are inspired by Taylor Swift songs, we can find a treasure trove of name options in Nicks' lyrics. As most parents will tell you, picking a name is rarely straightforward. But we think that with the help of Nicks, whose songwriting has been lauded as some of the best of all time, we can add a few solid suggestions, whether you're looking for something classic, nature-inspired, or more alternative. And if you're looking for a more on-the-nose tribute to the singer, Stevie's a strong gender-neutral contender. The name has Greek origins and means crown or garland. Reportedly, it was among the most popular girl names in the U.S. in Nicks' heyday and we think it's one of the popular baby names from the 1970s that deserves a resurgence.

There are a number of vintage baby names you can make feel fresh in 2026 by using Stevie Nicks songs as inspo. There's the titular name from the 1975 Fleetwood Mac hit "Rhiannon," about a free-spirited witch. The Welsh name means goddess or great queen. Then there's Sara, from Nicks' song of the same name, which means princess. Greta, from the song of the same name, is an Old Hollywood-inspired baby name that sounds so glamorous and means pearl. Other vintage female options include Diane ("Oh Diane"), Jane ("Jane"), Juliet ("Juliet"), Annabel ("Annabel Lee"), Grace ("Fall from Grace"), and Mabel ("Mabel Normand").

While Nicks famously wrote about the men in her life in her songs, she rarely used their names in the lyrics. "Jimmy Come Back" was an unreleased demo, and the name, per MamaNatural, means "he who supplants." Alice is one gender-neutral vintage name from the Nicks song of the same name; it's of German origin and means noble. Though it's usually considered a girl name, it's occasionally used for boys (thanks, Alice Cooper!).

If you want something that's trendy but also classic, consider a nature-inspired name. Many of these gender-neutral monikers conjure up images of beauty and calm. For example, "rain" frequently appears in Nicks lyrics ("Edge of Seventeen," "Landslide") and titles ("Outside the Rain," "Listen to the Rain"), and as a name means abundance from above. Nicks also used "blue" in her lyrics and had four songs with the it in the title: "Blue Lamp," "Blue Denim," "Blue Water," and "Violet and Blue" (hello, twin name inspo!). The unisex name refers to the color and is a popular name with celebrity parents. Ocean is another unisex baby name to consider, as the word appeared in more than 20 of Nicks' songs.

There are also some lovely baby girl natured-inspired names from Nicks' discography. Fleur, which means flower in French, is a beautiful baby girl name and a tribute to Nicks' "Belle Fleur." Lily, from "Rock a Little (Go Ahead Lily)," means pure. Willow, a reference to the tree, is mentioned in the track "Stand Back." And Emerald, which refers to the gemstone, is a sparkly choice and a nod to "Maker of Birds" and "Emerald Eyes." 

If something rare, unique, and altogether modern is more your vibe, then there are an abundance of gender-neutral baby names you may not have considered that are inspired by Stevie Nicks songs. Denim, as in Nicks' recording "Blue Denim," is a unisex name that shot up in popularity in the early 2000s but is still considered unique. Nicks has a number of songs with "angel" in the title; this name means messenger and works for baby boys and girls. "Rumours" is a Fleetwood Mac album title and the spelling Rumer (as in Willis), means fame, wanderer, and famous counselor according to The Bump. You could borrow Seven from "Edge of Seventeen," which means loving one, or Tango from "Tango in the Night" for an unusual moniker.

Gray, mentioned in "Blue Denim," is a solid boys name. While Mare ("Maker of Birds") is a sweet name for a girl, meaning beloved, wished-for child, and also as a reference to the sea. "Gypsy," one of Nicks' most beloved song titles, means bohemian traveler, an ideal name for a baby girl with wanderlust in her future.
