10 TV Characters You Should Name Your Edgy Kids After

Gilly from Saturday Night Live

For the naughty, coy, and devious perpetual grade-schooler in your home, Gilly is a fine fit. It's cheekily androgynous too, so maybe your arthouse-bound son would also appreciate it.

Phaedra from The Real Housewives of Atlanta

Once upon a time, Phaedra was just the mythological wife of Theseus who killed herself after falsely claiming Hippolytus raped her, but now she is a delightful Atlanta housewife who is more concerned about wearing sparkly footwear than the child she is currently delivering. Your lying, vain daughter will thank you.

Shoshana from United States of Tara

Tara's newest alter on USoT is a Noo Yawkuh who spews comforting platitudes and enjoys helpful, marriage-invigorating sex with Max. Your kid can only hope to have so much personality. Teehee!

(Arthur) Frobisher from Damages

The role may have withered since season one, but "Frobisher," Ted Danson's dastardly buffoon character on Damages, is a decision-maker with money, means, and now some enlightenment too. Try to keep your precious daughter Frobisher Addison away from the cocaine and prostitutes, though. That's how the choice to bump off civilians involved with big lawsuits happens.

JWOWW from Jersey Shore

Don't bother calling your sweet rose "Jenni." Go full WOWW and establish your kid as the bustiest, Sammi-throttling beyatch in Seaside Heights. If you're feeling skeptical, don't worry, you don't have to choose "J"! "K" has the same effect.
