Places, please—it’s showtime! Whether you were (or are) a theater kid or enjoy dabbling in the world of musicals, you can find a plethora of baby name inspo amidst the bright lights of Broadway.

We’re not saying you have to name your child Skimbleshanks or Grizabella like the cats of CATS or Fiyero after the prince in Wicked, but you never know where the perfect baby name could be hiding amidst those yellow Playbills. Many shows are packed with classic, timeless names for boys and girls, as well as gender-neutral picks and a few more unique, surprising choices inspired by iconic musical characters and those who create and perform them.

From beloved Broadway shows like Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis to newer favorites like Hamilton, check out some of the best musical names for your little Broadway baby.

Although many baby names are often separated by gender, Parents believes that sex does not need to play a role in selecting names. It's important to choose a name you feel fits your child best.
