Baby names drawn from film noir, or "black film," the genre of Hollywood crime dramas that capture the suspenseful happenings of private eyes in distinct black and white form, tend to be dramatic and rooted in an earlier era. While some of these names, such as Della and Harvey, have begun to make a comeback in the US, many others are stuck in style limbo.
<br></br>
Along with Della and Harvey, other film noir names in the US Top 1000 include Axel, Bruno, Celia, Jules, Stella, Vivian, and Walter. Some of the most icon names from film noir include Gilda, Velma, Laura, and Dixon.
<br></br>
Names like Eunice and Barton don’t have the same Classic Hollywood glamour they once did, but there are many names in the noir style worth reviving. Here, our collection of film noir baby names.
