This is just for fun! I have found myself watching Gossip Girl again during lockdown and I have to admit it has the most amazing collection of names. What other shows or even films can you think of that should almost get an academy award based on character names?
A book that was made into a movie with gorgeous names (off the top of my head) is The [name_f]Guernsey[/name_f] Literary and Potato [name_m]Peel[/name_m] Pie Society.
Some of my favorites:
[name_f]Isola[/name_f]
[name_m]Eben[/name_m]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_m]Dawsey[/name_m]
[name_u]Eli[/name_u]
[name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Christian[/name_u]
[name_f]Christiana[/name_f] “[name_u]Kit[/name_u]”
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] (for a woman)
Oh, and also Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]!
Even the last names were cool!
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u]
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u] (referred to as this)
[name_m]Miller[/name_m] (referred to as this)
[name_m]Kane[/name_m]
@sophia_elena I am so tempted to watch The 100 just because of the names! [name_u]Echo[/name_u] and [name_u]Fox[/name_u] are some of my favourites and so is [name_f]Delta[/name_f]. Huge fan of the NATO Alphabet I think
@cactusgram The girl names seem to be my taste but not so sure about the boys. [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] are great, I really wish I could be brave enough to use [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] one day
@theycallmemommy [name_m]Greg[/name_m]’s Anatomy is a really good reference actually. They put so much thought into the full names. I adore [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_f]Arizona[/name_f]
I second the 100 and Downtown [name_u]Abbey[/name_u], of course! I’ll add [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls as a show with great names (maybe not THE best as it only has a handful of great names).
Lorelai
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f] called [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_f]Sookie[/name_f] St. [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Honor[/name_u]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_u]Paris[/name_u]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] Girls has some good ones!
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_u]Paris[/name_u]
[name_f]Lorelai[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_m]Richard[/name_m]
[name_u]Jess[/name_u]
[name_f]Sookie[/name_f]
[name_u]Michel[/name_u]
[name_m]Doyle[/name_m]
[name_u]Gill[/name_u]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] “[name_f]Gigi[/name_f]”

Adding another one because I remembered This [name_m]Way[/name_m] Up’s characters:
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]
[name_f]Shona[/name_f]
[name_m]Étienne[/name_m]
Vish
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
I immediately thought the 100 too! It made me love [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_m]Wells[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_m]Monty[/name_m] etc!
