Here is a short and simple list, along with the meanings of some of the most popular characters from movies that you might like as ideas for your baby name. You can choose either by the name itself, if you love it, or you can also choose by the particular meaning of each name.
Girl Names
1. Ananya – This name means unique or without a second and was inspired by the movie of Chetan Bhagat’s 2 States, which is a Hindi movie.

Go ahead and start searching for the perfect name for your child, even if it means checking out some new movies.
