Grab your suit and cape, and get ready to kick serious villain butt! Baby is almost here—and with the arrival of a little wonder like yours comes the journey of choosing a fun, spunky, nerd-approved name plucked right from your all-time favorite superhero films and comics.

What makes superhero names so super? It’s the same thing that makes a hero a hero—each has a killer backstory that resonates. And, likewise, each of these mighty monikers comes with a striking tale of strength and resilience that can be great inspiration for baby as they realize their own special abilities (aka, being the cutest ever!) and write their own hero story.

When it comes to naming your mini-marvel after an iconic crime-fighting character, there are a couple of approaches you can take. Don’t want to go too on-the-nose with your name choice? You can always keep the spirit of your favorite superhero alive in a more subtle way by choosing their alias instead. But there’s definitely nothing stopping you from taking direct inspiration from their actual superhero name either. So if you love names like Valkyrie, Nebula or even Aquaman (we’re looking at you, Trisha Paytas!), then we say the sky’s the limit.

You know what they say about superheroes—with great power comes great responsibility. And that can totally apply when it’s time to pin down the right moniker for baby too. Maybe you aren’t sure where to start, or maybe you can’t decide if you’re more of a DC or Marvel fan (ditto!). Have no fear—our power-packed list of male and female superhero names is here!
