ant-man and the wasp – baby we can be magic (2025)

Yeah, I’m doing part 2 already. This just interests me. Once again: I’m going through name popularity lists in the US (where Marvel is published), this time at the #2 and #3 spots (which will be grouped together), from 1939 (when Marvel Comics started) to 2021, and seeing how many Marvel characters have those names (or popular variants) on… the first page of search results on the Marvel wiki (or if I remember other ones).

Edit: I’ve gone back and looked at the character list on the wiki for complete totals. Of note: I am not including real-life figures who just appear momentarily (i.e. real-life newscasters or political figures) but I am including real-life figures who appear in the plot significantly (i.e. AUs or when writers write themselves in as characters that affect the plot). I’m also not including any of the animal pun names or dumb parody names from the What The -?! stories.

James (1939, 1953-1960, 1966-1967, 1969-1972), Jacob (1996-1998, 2013): “holder of the heel,” “supplanter”

Covered last week. 331 variants (including Jacob variants).

Barbara (1939-1945, 1948): “foreign”

Covered last week. 54 variants.

Robert (1940-1952, 1954, 1956): “bright fame”

Covered last week. 368 variants (including Barbara variants).

John (1939-1952, 1962-1965, 1968): “god is gracious”

Iann: Iann-23 (Huntarr)

1034 characters with a John-variant name; 391 are just John, which is truly astounding. Damn. 77 of those are live-action. This is one of the winners this time ’round, hence Jean’s presence in the header. Exactly which variants are most popular are sort of surprising; I would not expect, for example, 4 live-action Ivans, but then again it’s clearly one of the only Russian names that Marvel knows.

Patricia (1939-1943, 1945, 1949-1952): “noble(wo)man”

Patricia: Patricia “Tisha” Collins, Patricia “Trish” Gambello, Patricia Hamilton (Amazing Merwoman), Patricia Himmler, Patricia Jackson (Knight), Patricia Ann Love, Patricia Mills, Patricia O’Hara, Patricia “Pepper” Potts (Rescue), Patricia “Trish” Robertson (Scream), Patricia “Trish/Trixie” Starr, Patricia Steinhauer, Patricia “Trish” Tilby Burton, Patricia Van Dyke, Patricia Wagler, Patricia “Patsy” or “Trish” Walker (Hellcat), Patricia “Patty” Wilson, Patricia “Patty” Wolman (Vista), Patricia “Tricia” _

Pat: Pat Albano (Pistol), Pat Bogg, Pat Mahoney, Pat Migliorato, Pat Mullet, Pat Murphy (the Vagabond), Pat Smith, Pat Sverson (8)
Patrice: Patrice Cahill (Frostbite), Patrice Fabry, Patrice Pugawa
Patton: Patton Barrel, Patton Parnel (Spider-Man)

69 characters with a Patrick-variant name, since Patricia is itself a Patrick variant. 4 live-action. This is a fair amount of names, and it makes sense that there has been a comparatively small amount of them translated into live-action since it just sounds a little old-fashioned. (This, I assume, is also part of why Trish went by Trish and not Patsy in Jessica Jones.)

Linda (1944-1947, 1953-1959): “flexible, soft, mild”

Covered last week. 29 variants.

Mary (1947-1952, 1965-1966): “sea of bitterness,” “rebelliousness,” “wished-for child,” “beloved”

Covered last week. 379 variants.

Michael (1953, 1960, 1999-2007, 2009-2010): “who is like God?”

Covered last week. 338 variants.

Deborah (1953-1955), Debra (2: 1956): “bee”

Deborah: Deborah Bertrand (Diamondback), Deborah Brownlea, Deborah Fields, Deborah Giacomo, Deborah Green, Deborah “Debbie” Harris, Deborah Kinney, Deborah Polk, Deborah Risman, Deborah Ritter, Deborah Summers, Deborah Voyant, Deborah “Debbie” Walker (Antimony), Deborah Watts, Deborah the shark
Debra: Debra Crovi, Debra Fury (Sister Debbi), Debra “Deb” Levins, Debra Love, Debra Whitman
Deb: Deb Lowry (Cowgirl)
Debbie: Debbie Cantrell, Debbie Jones, Debbie Manks, Debbie McIlvane, Dr. Debbie _

26 characters with a Deborah-variant name, only two of which are live-action. We could have more Deborahs and that would probably be fine.

David (1955-1956-1959, 1961-1971): “beloved,” “uncle”

Covered last week. 211 variants.

Susan (1957–1964): “lily”

Susan: Susan Austin, Susan Baker, Susan Banner, Susan Beehan, Susan Bilde, Susan Bishop, Susan Calkin, Susan Carter, Susan Catrini, Susan Choi, Susan Clark, Susan/Suzanna Dane, Susan Dean, Susan Dix, Susan Ellerh, Susan Harris, Susan Hayakawa (Sushi), Susan “Susie” Jablonski, Susan Jacobson, Susan Kurgen, Susan Maddox, Susan Monaghan, Susan Montgomery, Susan Morse, Susan Parker, Susan “Sue” Parsons, Susan Rice (Soupcan), Susan “Suzy” Richards, Susan Scarbo (Mother Night/Suprema), Susan Schweibe, Susan “Sue” Storm (the Invisible Woman), Susan Strong, Susan Svensson (Dynamite), Susan Weaver, Susan in Sunshine

Suki: Suki Ashida, Suki Yumiko, Suki _; Doctor Suki, General Suki (5)

74 characters with a Susan-variant name. The only significant live-action one is Sue Storm (there are 3 others), so more Susans wouldn’t be the worst thing, I guess. It also bears mention that while Suki is a nickname for Susan, the Sukis appearing in Marvel all seem to be Japanese, i.e. their names don’t technically derive; similarly, while Sui-San clearly visually apes Susan in Marvel alien style, it could also the use Japanese/Chinese name elements “sui” and “san.

Lisa (1961, 1970-1972): “my God is an oath”

Covered last week. 24 variants.

Karen (1965): “each of the two,” “my consecration of your name,” “torture,” “pure”

Caitlin: Caitlin Bailey, Caitlin Johns, Caitlin Leigh, Caitlin Maddox, Caitlin Strucker (5)
Kaitlin: Kaitlin Kirn
Kaitlyn: Kaitlyn O’Hare
Katelin: Bobbi used “Katelin” as an alias once because Fitz spelled it weird on her nametag and it is still my favorite joke from SHIELD
Ekaterina: Ekaterina Gryaznova (Gryphon)
Katinka: Katinka _
Katrinka: Katrinka Janice “K.J.” Clayton
Karinna: Karinna Rose
Kay: Kay Cera (Cuckoo), Kay Glayvor (Lure), Kay James, Kay Osborn, Kay-Sade, Kay _
Kaya: Kaya _
Kayla: Kayla Ballantine (Star Brand), Kayla Kurasawa, Kayla Silverfox, Kayla _
Kaylie: Kaylie Doran, Kaylie _
Kaylo: Kaylo _

170 characters with a Katherine-variant name, since Karen itself is a Katherine variant. 15 are live-action. This is so far the most prominently used female name in this bunch (Mary, of course, has it beat), since there are so many variants (and I might have even missed a few). Sidenote: my headcanon is that Peter named his A.I. “Karen” because he’s a big fan of Karen Page’s reporting.

Kimberly (1966-1968, 1970): “from the meadow of the royal fortress”

Kimberly: Kimberly Dee (Catwalk), Kimberly “Kim” Gaunt, Kimberly Porter, Kimberly Potters (Serpentina), Kimberly Price, Kimberly Rourke, Kimberly Schau (Dazzler), Kimberly “Kim” Vesco

Kimora: Kimora _
Kimeiko: Kimeiko Ashu
Kimmo: Kimmo Tuolema

28 characters with a Kimberly-variant name. This is one of those ones where there are a lot of “Kim” variants that aren’t anywhere near “Kimberly” variants, but they all still track to “Kim” so I’m counting it for the list. We could stand more live-action Kims, since there aren’t really any (Kim Hwang was just mentioned in Runaways).

Michelle (1967-1969, 1971-1974): “who is like God?”

Covered last week. 19 variants (see Michael).

Jennifer (1969, 1985): “fair one,” “white wave”

Covered last week. 76 variants.

Christopher (1972-1995): “bearing Christ”

Christopher: Christopher Aaronson (King Bedlam), Christopher Alleyne, Christopher Bach, Christopher Bradley (Bolt), Christopher “Chris” Maurice Brown, Christopher “Chris” Cassera (Kid Deadpool), Christopher Colchiss (Melter), Christopher Daniels (Suicide), Christopher Fallon (Guardsman), Christopher Ganyrog (Scientist Supreme), Christopher Joyner, Christopher “Chris” Kinzky, Christopher Knight, Christopher “Kit” Marlowe, Christopher “Chris” Miller, Christopher Muse (Triage), Christopher O’Leary, Christopher Powell (Darkhawk), Christopher “Chris” Seyfert, Christopher Sinclair, Christopher Summers (Corsair), Christopher Summers II, Christopher Taylor, Christopher Thorn (Doctor Synne), Christopher “Scar” Tobin, Christopher Walsh
Chris: Big Chris Angelone, Chris Baiocchi, Chris Baker, Chris Barret (Metallurge), Chris Busse, Chris Chernin (Blindside), Chris Claremont, Chris Colin, Chris Cosentino, Chris Davidson, Chris Dingess, Chris Donnelly, Chris Douglas, Chris Durbin, Chris Falk, Chris Fuerst, Chris Gonzalez, Chris Jarkoer, Chris Johnson, Chris Kapostopolis, Chris Kong, Chris Larmouth, Chris McCarthy (Ant-Man), Chris McKee, Chris McNally, Chris Miller, Chris Morrow, Chris Noel, Chris Nolan, Chris Paxton (Cardiaxe), Chris Peters, Chris Peterson, Chris Quinn, Chris Rafferty, Chris Ramsey (Mad Sculptor), Chris Reichert, Chris Rollins, Chris Sanders, Casanova Chris Sims, Chris Svoba, Chris Townsend, Chris Taylor, Chris Yen, Chris _ (x3)
Topher: Topher Vasquez
Christoph: Christoph Haizmann, Christoph Nord (Maverick)
Cristoph: Cristoph Pfeifer (Iron Monger)
Cristu: Cristu Bulat
Cristo: Cristo Pike
Crisqó: Crisqó _
Kristoff: Kristoff Vernard Von Doom
Kris: Kris Anderson (Slab), Kris Boyle, Kris Cleary, Kris DeGann, Kris Keating, Kris Kipiniak
Kriss: Kriss “Gabby” Lout

87 characters with a Christopher-variant name. This is another one that’s surprisingly absent in the live-action stuff, with only 4 qualifiers. Although “Christina” is often used as the “girl” version of Christopher, it’s technically a variant of Christian, so I’m not going to analyze it here.

Jason (1973-1980): “healer”

Jason: Jason Aaron, Jason Adamson, Jason Anders, Jason Bailey, Jason Bartholomew, Jason Beere (Eternity Man), Jason Berg, Jason Birch, Jason Black, Jason Burr, Jason Carrington, Jason Carter, Jason Clemons, Jason Collier, Jason Cragg (the Voice), Jason Cross, Jason Dean (Photon), Jason Faust, Jason Frankenstein, Jason “Jay” Garrick (Speed Demon), Jason Grayson (Bunky), Jason Grey, Jason Grimm (Skull Punch), Jason Grubb, Jason Halifax, Jason Ionello, Jason Jackson, Jason Jerome, Jason Keith, Jason Kimball (Genii), Jason Knight, Jason Latour, Jason Philip Macendale Jr. (Hobgoblin), Jason Maldonado (Soulfire), Jason McAllister, Jason McCall (Soul Man), Jason Pierce (Ember), Jason Pinter, Jason Powell, Jason Praed (Crossbow), Jason Pruett, Jason Quantrell, Jason Quartermaster, Jason Quill, Jason Reichert, Jason Reynolds, Jason Rivera, Jason Roland (Hangman), Jason “Rudy” Rubenstein, Jason Silence, Jason Sloan, Jason Spierling, Jason Staid, Jason “Slappy” Struthers (Excalibur), Jason Strongbow (American Eagle), Jason Stryker, Jason Suh, Jason “Jay-Jay” Thomas (Nighty-Nightcrawler), Jason Thornehill, Jason Todd (Deathlok), Jason Treemont, Jason Tso, Jason Weirdler, Jason Wilkes, Jason Wilkes, Jason Wong, Jason Wyngarde (Mastermind), Jason _ (x8) (75)
Jayson: Jayson Jay
Jaycen: Jaycen (Flint)
Jayce: Jayce Paz
Jay: Jay Alvaro, Jay Burnell (Deadeye), Jay Carter, Jay Chander, Jay Chord, Jay DeMore (Crooked Man), Jay Fosgitt, Jay Jameson, Jay Kelsey, Jay Little Bear, Jay Prentiss, Jay Sero, Jay T. Thomas (Spider-Man), Jay _
Jaye: Jaye P. Morgan

93 characters with a Jason-variant name. 2 of the 3 live-action Jasons are Fox/pre-D+ TV. Not much to say here.

Amy (1973-1977): “beloved”

Amy: Amy Bendix, Amy Brehe, Amy Brewer (Autopsy), Amy Brys, Amy Casey, Amy Chen, Amy Conklin, Amy Fink, Amy Grimes, Amy Haller, Amy Lou Johnston, Amy Kearse, Amy Kwitny (Choice), Amy LaFuente, Amy McCloud, Amy Minoru, Amy Parks, Amy Powell, Amy Springer, Amy Stringer, Amy _ (x3)
Aimee: Aimee Shih, Aimee _
Ami: Ami Han (White Fox)
Aimi: Aimi Yoshida
Amie: Amie Zamborano (Makeshift)
Amytis: Amytis _
Amiko: Amiko Kobayashi

30 characters with an Amy-variant name Ami and Amiko are, in this case, not actually Amy derivatives, but they’re soundalike/etc. There have been three live-action Amys, all on TV, but hell, bring it on, give us more. I like the name Amy so much (entirely because of Sailor Moon).

Heather (1975): “from the flower”

Heather: Heather Bishop, Heather Cameron (Lifeguard), Heather Douglas (Moondragon), Heather Faraday, Heather Glenn, Heather Hanneman (Raindrop), Heather Hite (Glider), Heather Krolnek, Heather Lemuel (Bloodhawk), Heather McDaniel (Sasquatch), Heather McNeil Hudson (Vindicator), Heather Noble, Heather O’Gara (Blackbird), Heather Duncan Rand (Silver Dragon), Heather Sante, Heather Silver, Heather Tucker (Tempo), Heather _ (x3)

20 characters named Heather. There really aren’t variants of this one, which I assume accounts for its small showing. Of note, none of the 3 live-action Heathers make much of a showing: Heather Glenn just appears in a voicemail, Heather Hudson just appears as an old lady who gets fridged, and Heather Rand just appears as a mom who gets fridged.

Melissa (1976-1979): “bee”

Melissa: Melissa Bowen, Melissa Carsdale (Misery), Melissa Collier, Melissa Gold (Screaming Mimi/Songbird), Melissa Hanover (Moonglow), Melissa Morbeck (Iron Ring), Melissa Morley (Poltergeist), Melissa Scott (Tinsel), Melissa Tarleton
Melissandra: Melissandra _
Melinda: Melinda Brewer, Melinda Cass (Princess Justice), Melinda Dennis, Melinda Leucenstern, Melinda May, Melinda McDonough (Red Hornet), Melinda Mendez, Melinda Morrison, Melinda Pressman, Melinda Snodgrass, Melinda Taylor, Melinda Wallace
Lissa: Lissa Russell, Lissa _
Mindy: Mindy Bolton, Mindy Glidewell, Mindy Martin, Mindy McPherson, Mindy Peterson, Mindy Urich, Mindy Vance, Mindy Williams (Chorus) (8)
Mindee: Mindee Cuckoo/Frost
Missy: Missy Kallenbach, Missy Lopez, Missy _

36 characters with a Melissa-variant name. Once again, all 6 live-action Melissas/etc. are Fox/Sony/pre-D+ TV. We could probably stand to have a couple more in the near future.

Jessica (1978, 1980-1984, 1991-1992, 1996-1997): “to behold”

Covered last week. 17 variants.

Amanda (1979-1988, 1992): “lovable, worthy of love”

Amanda: Amanda Armstrong, Amanda Ballard, Amanda Batavides, Amanda Blake, Amanda Brayden, Amanda Brehe, Amanda Brusk, Amanda Cage, Amanda Carter, Amanda Chaney, Amanda Clarksdale, Amanda Cobb, Amanda Darby, Amanda Deathbird, Amanda Fairmont, Amanda Fallows, Amanda Mueller, Amanda Payne, Amanda Reynolds, Amanda Saint, Amanda Salinger, Amanda Sefton, Amanda Sheridan, Amanda Smith, Amanda von Doom, Amanda Wagner-Parker (Spider-Crawler)
Mandy: Mandy Atkinson (Xantippe), Mandy Greville, Mandy O’Connor, Mandy Schuster, Mandy _
Marandi: Marandi “Mandi” Sjorokker (Spindrifter)

32 characters with an Amanda-variant name. Only 1 is live-action, and she’s barely relevant. I feel like this one is another that’s going to get more popular eventually, but for now we don’t have too many, particularly live-action.

Matthew (1981-2001): “gift of God”

Matthew: Matthew “Matt” Axel, Matthew T. Barker, Matthew Beacher (Slyde), Matthew Beere, Matthew Bronleewe, Matthew Caniglia (Kid Justice), Matthew Clinton, Matthew DeRoma (Scrier Junior), Matthew Devon, Matthew Edwards, Matthew Edwards, Matthew Gilden (Goldbug), Matthew Horace Grayson, Matthew Harsh (Able-Bodied Assassin), Matthew Hawk (Two-Gun Kid), Matthew Jenk, Matthew Kearse, Matthew “Matt” Lin, Matthew Lindon, Matthew Malloy, Matthew Masters (Black Rider), Matthew Mitchell (Home Wrecker), Matthew “Matt” Murdock (Daredevil), Matthew “Matt” Murdock II (Bullseye), Matthew Natchios, Matthew Plunder, Matthew Raven, Matthew Risman, Matthew Rogers, Matthew Storm (Firefly), Matthew Surman, Matthew Vaducci, Matthew White, Matthew (Gabriel), Matthew _ (x2)
Matt: Matt Ballors, Matt Carson, Matt Cody, Matt Collins (x2), Matt Corbin (Lightning Bug), Matt Coris (Psylocke), Matt Dowd, Matt Durgan, Matt “Matti” Falcone, Matt Finn (Uproar), Matt Hicksville, Matt Idelson, Matt Landru, Matt McDaver, Matt McKinney (Ripfire), Matt Skinner, Matt Slade (x2), Matt Slade III, Matt Slade Jr., Matt Travers
Matteo: Matteo DiPriggia, Matteo Lolli
Mateo: Mateo Caldron, Mateo Corello, Mateo Garza, Mateo Maximoff
Mattea: Mattea Murdock (the Daredevil Drummer of Philly)
Mattias: Mattias van Scotter
Mathias: Mathias Deeds
Mathus: Mathus _
Matvey: Matvey Tarasov
Matilda: Matilda Brant, Matilda “Tilda” Maybelline Dillard Johnson, Matilda Drumm, Matilda von Tromp (Tillie the Hun), Matilda _
Mathilda: Mathilda Blair
Mattie: Mattie Baptiste
Matti: Matti _
Matto: Matto Magneto
Matty: Matty Gunzer

79 characters with Matthew-variant names, only 3 of whom are live-action. Given that Madison (discussed later, in its own section) relates to Matthew somewhat, I think it is completely appropriate to assume that girl!Matt Murdock could have, in fact, been a Madison, and that’s really funny. She could also be a Matilda (that’s, I think, more common a translation) but Madison is sillier.

Ashley (1984-1990, 1993-1997): “ash tree clearing”

Covered last week. 17 variants.

Brittany (1989-1991): “from Briton”

Brittany: Brittany Chien (Shuriken), Brittany Hope
Britney: Britney Amber Fox
Brittney: Brittney Williams
Britannia: Tanya (Britannia)
Britannica: Britannica Rex

6 characters with a Brittany-variant name, 2 of which are Britain-derived codenames, none of whom are live-action. This name not being more prevalent genuinely surprises me.

Sarah (1993): “lady, princess, noblewoman”

Sarah: Sarah Allaire (Papillon), Sarah Baker, Sarah Beckman, Sarah Gail Bradley, Sarah Brawl (Doctor Brawl), Sarah Brundstadt, Sarah Chan, Sarah Clark, Sarah Crawley, Sarah Day, Sarah Dewey, Sarah Fermann, Sarah Garza, Sarah Jessup (Mindstorm), Sarah Kinney, Sarah Klein, Sarah Lieberman, Sarah Lowenstein, Sarah McFarland, Sarah McKens, Old Sarah Mumford, Sarah O’Brien, Sarah Proctor (Dottie Jones), Sarah Purser, Sarah Roderick, Sarah Rogers, Sarah Rogers (Crusader), Sarah Rushman/LeBeau (Marrow), Sarah Ryall (Scanner), Sarah Saulsby, Sarah Shaw, Sarah Silverman, Sarah Slade, Sarah Stacy (Kindred), Sarah Starr (Aviatrix), Sarah Topps, Sarah Townsend, Sarah Vale (Network), Sarah Walks Unseen (Lament), Sarah Wilde, Sarah Wilson, Sarah Wilson, Sarah II (Thinker), Sarah _, Sarah _ (x2)
Sara: Sara Bailey, Sara Ehret (Jackpot), Sara Gallows, Sara Grey, Sara Harrington, Sara Heart, Sara Hingle (Nucleus), Sara Krowler (Baroness Mordo), Sara Marfa, Sara Mendez, Sara Pichelli, Sara Pryde, Sara Robbins, Sara Rochelle, Sara Stiggins, Sara Joy Watson, Sara Wolfe, Sara _
Sarah Jane: Sarah Jane Harker-Phillips
Sara Jane: Sara Jane _ (69)
Sera: Sera (the Hunter Queen)
Serah: Serah Anchorton
Serafina: Serafina Montoya, Serafina _

73 characters with a Sarah-variant name, 5 of whom are live-action. This is another one that feels, to me at least, more common than it is; two of them (Sarah Proctor and Sarah Wilson) were introduced almost back-to-back last year, and quite frankly it is egregious to have Steve (the original Captain America) have a mom named Sarah and Sam (the new Captain America) to have a sister named Sarah. There are other names!

Emily (1994-1995, 2009): “rival”

Covered last week. 48 variants.

Hannah (1998-2002): “favor, grace”

Hannah: Hannah Ballad, Hannah Chung, Hannah Conover, Hannah Donleavy, Hannah Fairmont, Hannah Hochberg, Hannah Hutchins, Hannah Ikegami (Naamurah), Hannah Jones, Hannah Larue, Hannah Pierce, Hannah Stone, Hannah Trumbull (Mercy), Hannah Warner, Hannah _ (Juice), Hannah _, Hangnam Hannah
Hanna: Hanna Levy (Lizard Lady), Hanna Riel, Hanna Verschlagen
Hana: Hana Jin Rhee, Hana Yanowa, Hana _
Hananel: Hananel _
Anna: Anna Ameyama, Anna Anohkin, Anna Beame, Anna Brissom, Anna Brooks, Anna Coye, Anna Marie/a Darkhölme/Raven/Reynolds (Rogue), Anna Donnelly, Anna Fennhoff, Anna Frankenstein, Anna Johnson, Anna Kapplebaum, Anna Kefkin, Anna Makarova Kravinoff, Anna Maria Marconi, Anna Nelson, Anna Nikhail, Anna-May “Annie” Parker (Spiderling), Anna-Marie Rankin, Anna Reynolds, Anna Romanoff, Anna Ryker, Anna Sablinova, Anna Sinclair, Anna Twisdon, A(n)na Watson, Anna Wei, Anna White
Ana: Aña “Anya” Sofia Corazon (Araña), Ana Cortés (Lady Deathstrike), Ana Helstrom, Ana Huff, Ana Jarvis, Ana Maximoff, Ana Sofía Arcos Romero, Ana Maria Magdalena Shwartz (Stigmata), Adriana “Ana” Soria (Spider-Queen), Ana _
Anne: Anne Avery, Anne-Marie Baker, Anne Baxter, Anne Benson, Anne Bronson, Anne Burke, Anne Calderstock, Anne Carter, Anne-Marie Cortez, Anne Drake, Anne Garthwaite, Anne Ghazikhanian, Anne Grant, Anne Marie Hoag, Anne Hutchins, Anne Kerry, Anne Marie Menzie, Anne Moore, Anne Seward, Anne Sterns, Anne Tenna, Anne Webster, Anne Wentworth-Bentley, Anne Weaver, Anne Webster, Anne Wentworth-Bentley, Anne Weying, Anne _ (x2); Jemma Anne Simmons
Ann: Ann Beckley, Ann Brennan, Ann Carver, Ann Chi Xan, Ann Darnell (Vapor), Ann Dodgson, Ann Fraley (Auntie Freeze), Ann Herd (Aura), Ann Johnson, Ann Keats, Ann Larsen, Ann Macintosh, Ann Nocenti, Ann Norton, Ann Parker, Ann Peery, Ann Randall, Ann Raymond, Ann Farrow Reynolds, Ann’var
Annie: Annie Antonelli, Annie Chapman, Annie Christopher, Annie Coleman, Annie Davis, Annie Deacons, Annie Deitz, Annie Hecht, Annie Jameson, Annie Jones, Annie Jones (Kestrel), Annie Lanning, Annie Malcolm, Annie Prazniki, Annie Reilly, Annie Richardson, Annie Simms, Annie Stevenson (Quiver), Annie Wagner (Static Annie), Annie Wheeler (Wide-Load Annie), Annie Wong, Annie Yuan, Annie _ (x3)
Anita: Anita Alomii, Anita Katerine Blake, Anita Dillon, Anita Ehren (Battleaxe), Anita Erskine, Anita Savvy, Anita Trick
Annika: Annika (Book)
Anielle: Anielle _
Anissa: Anissa Dorsey
Anya: Anya Derevkova (Black Widow), Anya Eisenhardt/Lehnsherr/Magnus, Anya Rasputina, Anya _ (x2)
Anneka: Anneka _
Annette: Annette Folsom
Antjie: Antjie Qoboza
Annabel: Annabel Warner
Annabelle: Annabelle Adams, Annabelle Crawford, Annabelle Riggs, Annabelle St. John
Anabella: Annabella Gorrini
Annalee: Annalee _

161 characters with a Hannah-variant name, since Anna/e are Hannah variants in and of themselves. Some of the variants (Hana, Antjie) are often Hannah variants but might not be in these cases (given the languages they seem to stem from). It seems like more to me, but only 9 of them have popped up in live-action, although again none of them have been in the “MCU proper” (some from Fox/Sony, some from pre-D+ TV).

Samantha (1998): “name of god,” “flower, blossom”

Samantha: Samantha Bates, Samantha Beere, Samantha Jane Russell Bryant, Samantha Carlisle, Samantha Chan, Samantha “Sammie” Charles, Samantha Cooper, Samantha “Sam” Destine (Argent), Samantha DuPris, Samantha Dunbar (Lancer), Samantha DuPris, Samantha “Sam” Eden, Samantha Farrell (Sapheara), Samantha “Sam(my)” Green, Samantha Joyce, Samantha “Sam” Leary, Samatha McGee (Inferno), Samantha Parrington (Valkyrie), Samantha “Sam” Powell, Samantha Regent, Samantha Reyes, Samantha Sheridan, Samantha Silk, Samantha Summers (Colony), Samantha Twotrees, Samantha White, Samantha T. Wilson (Captain America)
Sam: Sam Adams, Sam Bancroft, Sam Barker, Sam Barlow, Sam Beaver, Sam Bender, Sam Biren, Sam Blockbuster, Sam Brady (x2), Sam Bragg, Sam Bullit, Sam Casey (K.C. Ritter), Sam Colby, Sam Collins, Sam Conover, Sam Corbett, Sam Craig, Sam Dunbrow, Sam Dunne, Sam Evans, Sam Exmore, Sam Farrow, Sam Felix, Sam Fisher, Sam Fogler, Sam Galvagno, Sam Garr, Sam Geller, Sam Gladhand, Sam Gleason, Sam Graham, Sam Grandee (the Grip), Sam Hale, Sam Hanson (Guardsman), Sam Hawk (Manhunter), Sam Henderson, Sam Hicks, Sam Hooker, Sam Jagger, Sam Jaggers, Sam Jessup, Sam Jordan, Sam Jory, Sam Jutter, Sam Kemperer, Sam Kimball, Sam Klaw, Sam Klein, Sam Koenig, Sam Kolawetz, Sam Krieger, Sam Kurokawa, Sam Labowe, Sam Landers, Sam Langhorn, Sam Larup, Sam Lawson (x2), Sam Lee, Sam Lincoln, Sam Marvin, Sam Matonabbe (Oxbow), Sam Mellon, Sam Melville, Sam Miller, Big Sam Morgan, Sam Murdock, Sam Palmer, Sam Parkin (Giant-Sam), Sam Peabody, Sam Peaks, Sam Pritchard, Sam Randel, Sam Rayburn, Sam Reilly, Sam Reuther, Sam Roberts, Sam Ross (Loadmaster), Sam Saber, Sam Savage, Sam Scorpio (Scorpion), Sam Scully, Sam Silvercloud, Sad Sam Simms, Sam Stone, Sam Stout, Sam Striker, Sam Taylor, Sam Thorne, Sam Venuti, Sam Westman, Sam Whitehall, Sam Whitney, Sam “Yakkety” Yates, Sam Yurimoto (Thermite), Sam 13 (Falcon), Sam the Clam, S.A.M., Sam the cat, Sam the robot, Sam _ (x2)
Sammy: Sammy Binion, Sammy Bruno, Sammy Cohen, Sammy Rico, Sammy Skalek (the Smiler), Sammy Stone (Memento), Sammy (Crime Master), Sammy the dog, Sammy _, Second-Story Sammy
Samuel: Samuel “Sam” Alexander (Nova), Samuel David Barone (Black Talon), Samuel Bernstein, Samuel Brady, Samuel Burley, Samuel Caulkin (Ramshot), Samuel “Sam” Chung (Blindspot), Samuel “Scoop” Daly, Samuel Donaldson, Samuel Douglas, Samuel “Sam” Fisk (Daredevil), Samuel Fox (Scrier), Samuel Griggs, Samuel “Sam” Zachery Guthrie (Cannonball), Samuel “Sam” Higgins, Samuel “Sam” Holden, Samuel Kamerhe (Sledge/Templar), Samuel Kingston, Samuel John LaRoquette (Rock), Samuel Lyons, Samuel “Mother” Majowski, Samuel “Sam” Makoa, Samuel Merrick, Samuel N’Dingi (Maliki Uhuru), Samuel “Sam/S.J.” North, Samuel Owlsley, Samuel “Sammy” Luc Paré (Squid-Boy), Samuel “Sam” Ryan, Samuel J. Sampat, Samuel Sanchez, Samuel “Sam” Sawyer (Happy Sam), Samuel Saxon (Machinesmith), Samuel “Sammy” Silke, Samuel “Sam(my)” Silke Jr., Samuel J. Skrull, Samuel “Sam” Simon, Samuel “Sammy” Smith (the Rev), Samuel “Sam” Smithers (Plantman), Samuel “Sam” Stein, Samuel Sterns (the Leader), Samuel “Buggy” Stokes, Samuel “Mike/Sam” Sykes, Samuel Tate, Samuel “Sam” T. Underwood, Samuel “Sam” Voss, Samuel “Sam” Wantling, Samuel Waxman, Samuel “Sam” Weltschmerz (Slippery Sam), Samuel “Sam” Wilson (Falcon/Captain America), Samuel Wintergreen, Samuel _
Samuels: Samuels _
Sammi: Sammi Bobby
Sami: Sami Nadeem
Samsbury: Samsbury “Sam” Winthrow (Slippery Sam)

195 characters with a Samuel-variant name, since Samantha is a Samuel variant. There are 17 of these in live-action projects, and that’s probably enough for now.

Alexis (1999): “helper,” “defender”

Alexis: Alexis Denson, Alexis Miranda, Alexis Primo, Alexis Sauvage, Alexis the Duck, Alexis the Protector, Captain Alexis
Alexus: Alexus _
Lexi: Lexi Raymond, Lexi the gladiator
Lexii: Lexii _
Lexus:

12 characters with an Alexis-variant name, 1 of whom is live-action. Alexis and Alexander/ra share definitions, but they’re not derived from the same name in a technical sense. I’m just cataloging specifically Alexis variants here.

Madison (2000-2006): “son of Matthew/Maud (which in turn derives from Matilda, meaning ‘strength in battle’)”

Madison: Madison Jeffries (Gemini), Madison “Maddy” Stanton, Madison Warner
Maddy: Madame Curie “Maddy” Cho, Maddy Pryor
Maddie: Maddie _
Madisynn: Madisynn King

7 characters with a Madison-variant name, and at least one of the Maddys explicitly isn’t a Madison (but I’m still listing her). This is honestly a surprise, given Madison’s early 2000s popularity. Maybe there will be more Madisons to come. ETA: Sure enough, Madisynn has appeared on She-Hulk, so here she is! See also: the Matthew variants.

Joshua (2002-2006): “God is salvation”

Joshua: Joshua Anders, Joshua Ayers (Miracle Man), Joshua Blaine (Robin Hood), Joshua Carstairs, Joshua Coolridge, Joshua Coop, Joshua “Josh” Cooper, Joshua Costain, Joshua Crow, Joshua Crown, Joshua Dozer, Joshua “Josh” Engelhard (Jersey Devil), Joshua Exhcol, Joshua Farkas (Dimensional Man), Joshua Foley (Elixir), Joshua Ford, Joshua Fromeyer (Scud), Joshua Grimly (Destroyer of Demons), Joshua “Jay/Josh” Zachariah Guthrie (Icarus), Joshua Huntingcut, Joshua Itobo, Joshua Jensen, Joshua Kale, Joshua Kane, Joshua Lambert, Joshua Lanning, Joshua Link (Gemini), Joshua McMahan (Nightvoid), Joshua Mendossi, Joshua N’Dingi (Doctor Crocodile), Joshua Pryce, Joshua Raven (Deathraven), Joshua “Josh” Richardson (Discord), Joshua Stragg (the Reaver), Joshua Summers (Chaos), Joshua Tark, Joshua Trent, Joshua Utler, Joshua Waldemeyer (Wall), Joshua Walker, Joshua “Josh” Williams, Joshua Wirtham, Joshua _ (x2)
Josh: Josh Alfaro, Josh Arndt, Josh Atwater (Nova), Josh Collins, Josh Glenn (Hate-Monger), Josh Hartman, Josh Kittling, Josh Lanning, Josh Mundy (Phantom), Josh Nixon, Josh _

54 characters with a Joshua-variant name. None of the 3 live-action Joshuas hail from the MCU proper, so we’re probably overdue.

Emma (2003-2007, 2009-2013, 2019-2021): “whole,” “universal”

Covered last week. 39 variants.

Ethan (2008-2010, 2012): “solid, enduring, firm”

Ethan: Ethan Crane, Ethan Domblue (Sin-Eater), Ethan Edwards (Virtue), Ethan Myers, Ethan Shield (Galahad), Ethan Slaughter, Ethan Stoddard, Ethan R. Thurm, Ethan G. Warren, Ethan Wilford, Ethan _

11 characters named Ethan, none of whom are live-action. We could stand to have more Ethans by that logic.

Isabella (2008, 2011-2012): “my God is an oath”

Covered last week. 48 variants.

Olivia (2009, 2013-2019), Oliver (2019-2021) : “olive” (the latter also means “ancestor’s descendant”)

Covered last week. 32 variants.

Sophia (2010, 2014-2015): “wisdom”

Covered last week. 23 variants.

William (2011, 2016-2017), Liam (2013-2016): “will helmet”

Covered last week. 344 variants.

Mason (2011-2012, 2014-2015): “stoneworker”

Mason: Mason Eckhart, Mason Edwards, Mason Harding, Mason Hollis (Crime-Wave), Mason Kaleema (the Traveler), Rick Mason (who goes by his surname), Mason Sackett, Mason Wilhite, Mason (Masked Maverick)

9 characters named Mason, 2 live-action. Not much to say here. It’s a pretty-recently popular name, so its lack of commonness makes sense.

Ava (2016-2020): “to breathe,” “to live” (or “voice, sound” or “desired”)

Ava: Ava Ayala (White Tiger), Ava Cochrane, Ava’Dara Naganandini (Warbird), Ava Anatalya Orlova (Red Widow), Ava Peloso (Ambush), Ava Starr (Ghost), Ava (Captain America), Ava _
Eva: Eva Alexander, Eva Bell (Tempus), Eva Belyakov, Eva Krauss, Eva Lysenkovitch (Sickle), Eva Quintero, Eva Slougart, E.V.A., Eva _ (x2)
Eve: Eve Bakian (Nova), Eve Greenwood Prado, Eve Manning, Eve X, Eve 3,031, Eve the synthezoid, Eve-3031, Dr. Eve _, Princess Eve _, Eve _ (x2)
Evie: Evie Blake
Evelyn: Evelyn Crawford, Evelyn Cream, Evelyn Foley, Evelyn Hawley, Evelyn Morris, Evelyn “Eve” Necker, Evelyn Richards-Foley, Evelyn Stanzler, Evelyn _ (X-Cow)
Evangelina: Evangelina Rivera
Evangeline: Evangeline “Angie” Cryer, Evangeline “Vange” Whedon
Evanora: Evanora Harkness
Evita: Evita Fusilier

44 characters with an Ava-variant name. 5 are live-action. This includes variants of Eve as well as variants of Avaline, since Ava can derive from either (or the Persian option, the one meaning “voice, sound” – I choose to believe that SHIELD Ava is that version of Ava, since it’s ironic, because of the fucked-up hearing deprivation stuff).

Noah (2017-2021): “rest, repose”

Covered last week. 17 variants.

Charlotte (2021): “free man”

Charlotte: Charlotte Yolanda “Charly” Beck (Friction), Charlotte Christopher, Charlotte Cromwell, Charlotte “Charlie” Hastert, Charlotte Jones, Charlotte Samantha Morales-Stacy (Spider-Girl), Charlotte Webber (Sun-Spider), Charlotte Witter (Spider-Woman), Charlotte _
Char: Char _

Cragmore, Jacob Charles Cromwell, Charles Czarkowski, Charles Dalton, Charles de Batz de Castelmore d’Artagnan (Fourth Musketeer), Charles Delazny (Scourge), Charles Delazny Jr. (Enforcer), Charles Devonshire, Charles Duntmore, Charles Evans, Charles Ewing, Charles Fey, Charles Fong, Charles Foster, Charles Gaston, Charles Geoffrey, Charles “Charlie” Gladhand, Charles Goss, Charles “Charlie” Gray, Charles Graymalkin, Charles Grey, Charles Hardiaken (Worm-Boy), Charles Harmon, Charles Harrington, Charles Helder, Charles Hinton, Charles “Charley” Huckle, Charles Hudson, Charles Ingwe, Charles P. Irwin, Charles Jaco, Charles Jefferson, Charles Johnson, Charles Kolman, Charles “Charlie” Kurkle, Charles Laing, Charles “Charlie” Lassiter, Charles Last (Ringleader), Charles Lawson, Charles LeBlanc, Charles Lehnsherr, Charles LeJeune (Papa Jambo), Charles Lester, Charles Little Sky (Portal), Charles Manning, Charles Manor, Charles Marrow, Charles “Chuck” McArthur (Black Toad), Charles Medford Frizini, Charles Mitchell, Charles “Chuck” Moss (Earthmover), Charles Murphy, Charles Olivetti, Charlse Olsen, Charles Paine, Charles Palene, Charles Luc Phan (Dahntu), Charles Prentiss, Charles Proctor, Charles Ralston, Charles Reigel, Charles Rider, Charles Rifkin, Charles Ronalds (Charon), Charles Sawyer, Charles Schlosser, Charles Seward, Charles Shaddock, Charles “Charlie” Shays, Charles Simms, Charles Simpson, Charles Forteque Smythington III, Charles “Charley” Snow, Charles Spencer, Charles Standish, Charles Stanton (Destroyer), Charles Stockbridge, Charles Summers, Charles Thurston, Charles Tyler, Charles Ulysses, Charles Villiers, Charles Wallace, Charles Weiderman (Molten Man), Charles Weiser, Charles J. Wentworth, Charles Wentworth, Charles Wilkes, Charles Winslow, Charles “Chuck” Worthy, Charles Xavier (Professor X), Charles Xavier II, Charles Yameogo (Spaceheat), Charles “Chuck” Yeaher, Charles _

Charley: Charley Boswell (Net-Man), Charley Dobbs, Charley Garzon, Charley Kingsley; Choo-Choo Charley
Char: Char _
Charla: Charla Hanks
Charlene: Charlene/a McGowan, Charlene Xavier
Lottie: Lottie Eikenski Hederman

Carolina: Carolina Pisarro, Carolina Washington
Karolina: Karolina Dean
Caroline: Caroline Bascombe, Caroline James, Caroline Jordan, Caroline Kennedy, Caroline Le Fay, Caroline Mulder, Caroline Zarin
Carolyn: Carolyn Detroit, Carolyn Fields, Carolyn Parmentor, Carolyn Schist, Carolyn Trainer (Lady Octopus)

Carly: Carly Alvarez, Carly Crocker, Carly Whitmere
Carlie: Carlie Colon, Carlie Cooper
Karly: Karly Scolari
Karli: Karli Morgenthau
Carrie: Carrie Alexander, Carrie Bradley, Carrie Coye, Carrie Garrett, Carrie Ross, Carrie _ (x3)
Cary: Cary Albertson, Cary Armstrong (Strongarm), Cary Dekum, Cary Loudermilk, Cary St. Lawrence
