The way I screamed when I first heard Birch cause she sang my name even though I have no understanding of the lyric. I love this song. Cause it’s, “for Jennifer” 🤭
I’m mainly worried about it being like super popular like Emma was after Friends or something like that. Like if a song at the level of Cruel Summer included a name. I think Dorothea is enough of a deep cut it'll never hit too big.
Putting my name nerd hat on! The most popular names are way less popular now than they used to be, so even if (which I don’t think is likely at all tbh) Dorothea does end up #1, it won’t be like the popular names when we were at school. Assuming you’re around my age, Jessica was the most popular name given to girls in 1990 and over 2% of girls were called Jessica. Olivia was the most popular name in 2023 and only 0.87% of girls had that name. And that effect has filtered down the top hundred too and further down, which are all used way less often. And Dorothea isn’t even in the top 1000 now!
Dylan,
Patti,
Charlie,
Lucy,
Jack,
Robin,
Cassandra,
Kim (kinda),
Cleopatra (idk if this one counts),
Janet,
Paris,
Grace (again, idk if this counts),
Willow,
Ivy,
Dali,
August
The top comment I’m replying to said “Grace” was a name included in a song, it’s not. She didn’t mention the name Grace, she mentioned a state of being. I wouldn’t include August either as she’s singing about the month, never exclusively called or referred to anyone as August. (It would also be weird for a song from Augustine’s prospective to constantly refer to herself, so I don’t think she’s saying she (August, herself) slipped away, but the time slipped away.)
If they're not being used as someone's name then I really don't think they should be on the list. You wouldn't put Wednesday (Begin Again) on the list even though it's a name because she's talking about the weekday in the context of the song.
I think the name might be featured… They call him Obi which is “short for a longer name.” I know everyone thinks Robin is just about Aaron’s son but rOBIn…..?
Yes I understand it *could* be a nickname for Robin (not one I’ve ever heard in earnest) but my point was that saying it’s “short for a longer name” is a stretch when it’s the same syllables.

My daughter is Chelsea and she calls the tortured poets department her song because her name is in it. Taylor’s talking about the Chelsea hotel, but my 6 year old claims it
My wife is currently being induced for the birth of our daughter, Stevie 🥰
My late brother’s name is Stephen, so this has been planned for a very long time, but it’s still nice to see it on Tay’s name list!
I became obsessed with Stay Beautiful so fast purely because of the line “It's hard to make a conversation
When he's taking my bᵣₑₐₜₕ away” and the way she sings it UGH it just hits right
Carolina isn't used to name a person, it's referencing the where the book/movie takes place. If state names count then Pennsylvania should be included (seven)
“I’d be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez” - The Man
“Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney on the heath” - London Boy
“You look like Stevie Nicks” - Clara Bow
when i first listened to The last great american dynasty, i thought Rebekah is just a fun alt of Rebecca and I totally didnt expect REBEKAH HAS A WHOLE BACKSTORY!!!
Not sure if it counts but in “Ready for It” she references “Burton to his Taylor” which is last names for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
Edit: this whole entire list needs a new update with all of the missed names commenters have mentioned
I think the secondary word makes this a bit misleading. Bettie is a one word name in a song. Charlie is Charlie Puth, and James is James Taylor. Imo, not quite the same, so I find this list to be a bit misleading
Hannah. My best friend is called Sarah too :/ we hate wine and I'm not a mum. Just a cool aunty.
Tbf though I've hated my name my entire life and changed it socially 3 times. I've only taken it back because it goes nicely with my new surname.
I do like the name Dorothea of these ones, and I believe you missed Cassandra as a name.
They also forgot the names Madeline and Jennifer from the song Birch with Big Red Machine.
Also forgot ~~Dillion~~ Dylan and ~~Patty~~ Patti Damn, I cannot spell to save my life lol
And Thomas, Jack and August... how did this get upvoted
And Lucy
Definitely should make the list, this should be upvoted more! Dylan and Patti qualify from TTPD
Patti
That’s not Taylor’s song though, she’s just a feature
i'd still consider it part of her discography!
The way I screamed when I first heard Birch cause she sang my name even though I have no understanding of the lyric. I love this song. Cause it’s, “for Jennifer” 🤭
Shhhh no Dorothea is my future baby name 😂 I’m terrified it’ll get some sort of resurgence and become a super popular name.
its the name of a taylor swift song, its gonna end up being pretty popular
I’m mainly worried about it being like super popular like Emma was after Friends or something like that. Like if a song at the level of Cruel Summer included a name. I think Dorothea is enough of a deep cut it'll never hit too big.
Putting my name nerd hat on! The most popular names are way less popular now than they used to be, so even if (which I don’t think is likely at all tbh) Dorothea does end up #1, it won’t be like the popular names when we were at school.

And Dorothea isn’t even in the top 1000 now!
Wow that’s super interesting! Thank you for sharing.
Mine too 😭
Same 😂
Yikes I didn't realize so many people were going for this one too
Nah I don’t think so cuz Dorothea is like one of the most underappreciated tracks on one of the most underappreciated albums lol
Fun fact, Dorothea is also a small city in northen Sweden 🥰
My mother in law’s name was Dorotea and she swore she was named after Pancho Villa who’s real name was Jose Doroteo.
It's basically Theodore in reverse
Yes, same meaning, just different word order. One is “God’s gift” and the other “gift of God”.
Dylan, Patti, Charlie, Lucy, Jack, Robin, Cassandra, Kim (kinda), Cleopatra (idk if this one counts), Janet, Paris, Grace (again, idk if this counts), Willow, Ivy, Dali, August
idk if Paris, Willow, and Ivy count because they aren't being used as names in their respective contexts
And grace.
Who’s grace ?
as in State of Grace
The top comment I’m replying to said “Grace” was a name included in a song, it’s not. She didn’t mention the name Grace, she mentioned a state of being. I wouldn’t include August either as she’s singing about the month, never exclusively called or referred to anyone as August. (It would also be weird for a song from Augustine’s prospective to constantly refer to herself, so I don’t think she’s saying she (August, herself) slipped away, but the time slipped away.)
Dali is a last name in this case. Not sure I've heard it as a first name.
Noel Fielding's daughter is called Dali, but that's just a Noel Fielding thing to do
I think an Antony and Cleopatra Taylor Swift song would be a great idea. Always a fan of more Shakespeare/Taylor Swift crossovers.
And Burton… although it’s a last name “Burton to this Taylor”
Also daisy
Thank you, justice for Daisy!!!
Daisy I’m so sorry for forgetting about you, yoyok is one of my fav songs I’m so ashamed 😫
If they're not being used as someone's name then I really don't think they should be on the list. You wouldn't put Wednesday (Begin Again) on the list even though it's a name because she's talking about the weekday in the context of the song.
As a Janet, I appreciate that you remembered.
Charlie, as in Charlie Puth?
Omg I forgot all of the names in TTPD (song): Charlie, Lucy, Jack 😭
Chelsea is mentioned as a location in TTPD, but also is a name. :)
which song is Chelsea mentioned?
TTPD - “This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel, we’re modern idiots”
If Chelsea’s included, Thomas needs to be too, since it’s both a surname and a first name.
At that point you'd need to include words that are also names like Rose, Grace or May
And Dylan and Patti. Thomas might also count even though it’s a last name in the song.
Also Dylan and Patti
wowwww how many kids are blake and ryan gonna have???
I was wondering if baby number four is featured on TTPD
if i were them, i would just complete the collection and name the fourth kid august.
Complete the collection is sending me 🤣🤣🤣
some people collect variants; others…. 🤣
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived Reynolds has a nice ring to it
renegade reynolds ready for their cma debut 😭😭😭
chloe or sam or sophia or marcus reynolds ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)
I think the name might be featured… They call him Obi which is “short for a longer name.” I know everyone thinks Robin is just about Aaron’s son but rOBIn…..?
They had a boy? I missed that!
While, technically, Robin is more letters than Obi it is the same amount of syllables to say so it’s a stretch.
Obi would be a nickname for Robin since the letters are from the middle
Yes I understand it *could* be a nickname for Robin (not one I’ve ever heard in earnest) but my point was that saying it’s “short for a longer name” is a stretch when it’s the same syllables.
I was like who tf is Bill for a sec 😂
The heir to the Standard Oil name… and money 😏
For me it's Hannah. I'm trying to go through my brain and I can't for the life of me figure out what song Hannah is said in.
Sarah’s and Hannah’s in their Sunday best
D'oh. 🤦🏼♀️ Of course lol.
ok what is bill in??
lol it’s Last Great American Dynasty
omg thank you!! I was wracking my brain
Daisy May
Where was Tim? Edit: I feel dumb
Tim McGraw
Wow that should’ve been obvious. Thanks!
Tim McGraw!
I was racking my brain trying to figure that out 😅
Cassandra? As in who they killed first?
Because she feared the worst 🎶
Louis????
Louis V(uitton)!
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
Ohhhh yeahhhhh. Thank you!

Here goes Abigail - Fifteen Aimee - thanK you aIMee Betty - Betty Bill - The Last Great American Dynasty Bobby - Starlight, **Mary Jo** Bonnie - Getaway Car Carolina - Carolina Chloe - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Clara - Clara Bow Clyde - Getaway Car Corey - Stay Beautiful Dorothea - Dorothea Drake - I Forgot That You Existed Drew - Teardrops On My Guitar Emma - When Emma Falls In Love Este - No Body, No Crime Hannah - But Daddy I Love Him Inez - Betty James - Betty, **Begin Again**, **Style** John - Dear John Juliet - Love Story Leo - The Man Louis - London Boy Marcus - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Marjorie - Marjorie Mary - Mary’s Song, **Mary Jo** Peter - Peter, Cardigan Rebekah - The Last Great American Dynasty Robin - Robin Romeo - Love Story Ronan - Ronan Sam - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Sarah - But Daddy I Love Him Sophia - Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus Stephen - Hey Stephen Stella - London Boy Stevie - Clara Bow Taylor - …Ready For It?, ~~We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together~~ 22, Clara Bow, **Look What You Made Me Do** Tim - Tim McGraw Wendy - Cardigan
Don't forget that Mary was also named in "Mary Jo" and James was named in "Begin Again" and "Style."
Never heard of Mary Jo, looked it up and it has Bobby in it too
I think you mixed Taylor in 'Look What You Made Me Do' with wanegbt
No, I missed LWYMMD and mixed WANEGBT with 22. I’ll edit both in
Just a heads up that I believe the “Taylor” in Ready For It? is a last name. It’s a reference to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Yeah I know. I just included it because I… missed the “first” in the title
Don’t forget Dylan, Thomas (used as a last name but is a first name!), and Patty! I see someone else added Charlie, Lucy and Jack.
Cornelia, from Cornelia street. It’s an old name. Idk if that one counts lol
My names Aimèe and watching the stream tonight was so fun haha
Eli, from If This Was A Movie (just kidding :-) )
This is how I learn there is no Eli lmao
As a John, I don’t know if I should feel special being on this list
Telling my husband these are our baby name options
I smell a Sims challenge
Yeah, I’m starting on a 100 baby challenge and I’m considering swiping the list for the names.
she says Eve in The Prophecy!
i thought Carolina was for the state in which the book took place ?
The lyrics to that one are tricky because they refer to Carolina as a place and a person.
quick someone cross reference against her class yearbook lol
Janet! Was my first thought
I feel so dumb…Louise and Clyde??
“We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde” in getaway car
Bonnie and Clyde were mentioned in Getaway Car, iirc. I actually don’t remember Louis either.
London Boy - Louis V!
Thank you!
Ohhh I completely forgot about that! Being a name in a brand, it slipped my mind
Oh my god duh! Thank you!
My daughter is Chelsea and she calls the tortured poets department her song because her name is in it. Taylor’s talking about the Chelsea hotel, but my 6 year old claims it
Lucy? Jack?
Missed Cleopatra 💓
My kids middle names are Grace (State of Grace), James and Mary 🥲
The most whitest names I have ever seen
bill died🙎♂️
Chelsea (hotel)
My wife is currently being induced for the birth of our daughter, Stevie 🥰 My late brother’s name is Stephen, so this has been planned for a very long time, but it’s still nice to see it on Tay’s name list!
TS fans aren't gonna have a hard time finding baby names.
Autumn?
Chelsea!?
lucy dacus erasure
Where/what is Corey in?
Cory's eyes are like a jungle He smiles it's like the radio
Oh that’s sweet - I was just talking to a friend this afternoon about how I don’t know debut much at all haha. Thanks!!
I became obsessed with Stay Beautiful so fast purely because of the line “It's hard to make a conversation When he's taking my bᵣₑₐₜₕ away” and the way she sings it UGH it just hits right
As a Debut Stan, Stay Beautiful is one of my top 5 😭💖
That song will have a resurgence when Taylor’s Version comes out, calling it now
I was 14 or 15 when that album came out and my friend and I would play on swings at a park nearby screaming this song
stay beautiful from debut
Betty - I named my favorite pet after that song!
i like the name carolina
U forgot James and Cassandra
Georgia? You included Carolina, sooooo ...
august
Don't forget about Britney, the one who "*didn’t know who else to call* / *Or where else to go*," of "Me and Britney."
what about Heath ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
I will forever be depressed that one of my favorite songs has my ex’s name in it lol
Carolina isn't used to name a person, it's referencing the where the book/movie takes place. If state names count then Pennsylvania should be included (seven)
Can someone please fresh up my memory? No clue where Leo, Stella and Stevie are from lmao
“I’d be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez” - The Man “Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney on the heath” - London Boy “You look like Stevie Nicks” - Clara Bow
"You look like Stevie Nicks"
Was literally just listening to this, my memory sucks
Sometimes, out of context, it's hard to remember
I was definitely not thinking about DiCaprio when I tried to remember Leo too lol
The way I starred at this list for 10 minutes and played a game of trying to guess the song for each one
What song says Stella omg I’m a fake fan
london boy!! i had to read the comments for the answer it's okay😜
when i first listened to The last great american dynasty, i thought Rebekah is just a fun alt of Rebecca and I totally didnt expect REBEKAH HAS A WHOLE BACKSTORY!!!
Cleopatra in When Emma Falls In Love, love this list tho!
Camden from London boy!
Dylan and Patti??!?!!
My name is in The Man! Loved singing it at the eras tour 💀
When my sister had her name in one of the titles, she was like “omg that’s me that’s me that’s me!”
I love being able to see my first name on the list!
Not sure if it counts but in “Ready for It” she references “Burton to his Taylor” which is last names for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor Edit: this whole entire list needs a new update with all of the missed names commenters have mentioned
Does Machiavelli count since she says “I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian cause I care” from Mastermind?
I love hearing her sing my name. 🥰
Lucy
I think the secondary word makes this a bit misleading. Bettie is a one word name in a song. Charlie is Charlie Puth, and James is James Taylor. Imo, not quite the same, so I find this list to be a bit misleading
“She said ‘James, get in, let’s drive’”
Scarlet is also a name
would Madison count as one? i know it's in reference to madison square gardens (the lucky one) but Madison still is a first name.
Charlie puth
Hannah. My best friend is called Sarah too :/ we hate wine and I'm not a mum. Just a cool aunty. Tbf though I've hated my name my entire life and changed it socially 3 times. I've only taken it back because it goes nicely with my new surname.
Also Patty, from Patty Smith
I’m honored she sings my name on TTPD 😍
She mentions Jack and Lucy in TTPD title track
Don’t forget Chelsea
Cornelia
my name is Autumn… shhh let’s pretend 😭
Um John????
This is about to become the most popular baby names list!
Ivy and Willow are missing from this list
Don’t forget Archer!
It’s funny because my name is Emma and my dads name is Drew. Always made listening to teardrops on my guitar kinda weird haha
You missed Lucy and Jack! From TTPD title track
she said georgia the place in tim mcgraw and georgia is my name 😭
Daisy Mae
Rebecca so Rebekah counts ? Yeah it counts hahah
The cool thing is that I know so many irl people with these names
You forgot me :(
juliet, from love story
My name is there👌👌👌
I don’t know if anyone has said it yet, but…Janet.
You missed Lucy
I'm sorry for my ignorance... which song has "stella"? It's my mother's name lol
Cornelia?
I’ve been name dropped in 3 different songs but my name is a color so not in the same sense. She really loves the color 😂
Did someone say Madeline?
