About superhero baby names

A superhero baby name comes from the other side of the mask. Codenames like Superman or Wolverine stay in the comics, but the names on the heroes' mail are ordinary given names that work in any classroom: Clark, Diana, Kara, Logan, Wanda and Miles. This list collects 1,000 of them from comic books, animated series, films and television, and every entry is a single name to use as a first name, never a full secret identity.

The names fall into recognizable groups. Heroes created between the late 1930s and the 1960s carry everyday American names of that time, such as Clark, Barry, Barbara and Carol. Newer heroes bring a wider mix: Kamala, Miles, Riri, Jaime and Lunella. Hero surnames make a third group, since Kent, Wayne, Grayson, Parker and Jordan all read naturally as first names. Myth gives the list Thor, Hercules, Hippolyta and Orion, while team books and ensemble shows add whole rosters at once, from Kimberly, Zack and Trini to Izuku, Ochaco and Shoto.

The groups are mixed together rather than sorted by publisher, so each batch puts a familiar pick next to a deeper cut. Generate a few batches, save the names that sound right with your surname, and look up the hero behind a name before you commit to it.

How to choose superhero baby names

  • Look up the hero before you decide. A name such as Logan, Wanda or Jason comes with decades of storylines, and some of them are darker than the cartoon you remember.
  • For a quiet nod, put the hero's name in the middle spot. Buchanan, Francis and Grant are themselves middle names of well-known heroes, and Kent or Grayson sits easily after a classic first name.
  • Say the full name out loud with your surname. Many comic book heroes have alliterative names, which looks bold on a cover but can be a lot for a real child to carry.
  • Sibling names can share the theme without shouting it. Clark and Kara, Diana and Donna or Miles and Gwen come from the same stories, but few people outside comics will notice.
  • If you want the reference to stay private, pick a name that was in use long before the comics, such as Arthur, Helen, Susan or Victor. Names like Ororo, T'Challa or Zatanna announce their source at once.

Frequently asked questions

Are these codenames or real names?

They are the heroes' civilian given names, not codenames, so you get Clark rather than Superman and Diana rather than Wonder Woman. The list also includes hero surnames that work as first names, such as Kent, Wayne and Parker, and a few middle names like Buchanan and Francis.

Which heroes do the names come from?

From comic books of every era plus animated series, films and TV shows about costumed heroes. That covers long-running names like Bruce, Peter and Barbara, newer ones like Kamala, Riri and Miles, and team rosters that add names such as Kimberly, Izuku and Marinette. The list does not label each name with its hero, so look a name up if the source matters to you.

Does the list include both girl and boy names?

Yes. Names the comics give to women, such as Kara, Wanda, Ororo and Jessica, are mixed in with names they give to men, such as Logan, Barry, Miles and Victor. Several picks, including Quinn, Parker, Harper and Jordan, are used for any gender.

Can I use these names for a fictional character instead of a baby?

Yes. Because they are ordinary given names, they suit a hero's civilian identity, a supporting character or a pet just as well. Pair a first name from this list with a surname of your own rather than copying a full alter ego from the comics.
