This dark fairy is both malefic and magnificent, so it's fitting that her name is a combination of these two words. I'm of the opinion that Disney always does a better job with its villains than its princesses, and it will be hard for any filmmaker to ever top the moniker that was chosen for this formidable force of nature. Disney fans can debate o...
If Maleficent had a BFF while she was in her dragon form, it would be this dark Disney creation. Vermithrax is a female dragon who just wants to help her babies survive by letting them feast on the dead bodies of the virgin sacrifices provided by the king of a terrified kingdom. Obviously, he's no Targaryen. Speaking of Game of Thrones, author Geor...
Something about this short moniker that you don't hear everyday just works for the surreal futuristic world of The Matrix. Carrie Anne Moss is certainly the trinity of awesome: she's intelligent; she can dodge bullets with mind-bending moves; and she looks incredible in black leather.
All you have to do is listen to the first two syllables of this exotic dancer's name to know that she's nothing but trouble. Salma Hayek's seductive performance, complete with a scaly living accessory, might be one of the sexiest that the silver screen has ever seen, but her scantily-clad character's beauty belies her true nature as a bloodthirsty ...
This cabaret girl's name is so nice that she used it twice. When actresses like Salma Hayek are looking for inspiration to portray enticing exotic dancers, they might want to take lessons from Marlene Dietrich's magnetic Lola Lola.
Next to Maleficent, this is definitely Disney's best villain name. It warns you that the woman who wears the moniker like an expensive fur coat is cruel enough to kill puppies, and her posh surname let's you know that she's wealthy enough to buy dalmatians by the bucketfuls. Cruella is such a fearsome creature that she even has her own theme song. ...
All the best female movie character names don't belong to villains. Satanico Pandemonium would have been in real trouble if she'd opened up her club in this Valley Girl vampire slayer's town. Buffy's unusual name might sound silly, but don't let it fool you; the cheerleader can do the funky chicken and drive a stake right through the heart of a vam...
Juno's name suits her because it's an unusual name for an unusual girl: a smart and snarky teen who gets pregnant before she falls for the baby's father and starts dating him. The sixteen year old is wise beyond her years, and her wit and sharp tongue probably made a lot of seasoned writers and comedians feel a bit inadequate when they first saw Ju...
Sometimes movie names are just so good that they become titular, es evidenced by this film and the one above. There doesn't seem to be any point to the double rabbit reference here, but it's an appropriately silly name for a silly movie. Bunny is what you would get if Bonnie Parker didn't decide to go on a crime spree until she was a retiree. I gue...
All the best sci-fi characters have names inspired by science, right? Linda Melson Harrison's human character never says anything in the Planet of the Apesmovie, but she does an impressive job of making a decaying animal hide look good. Her beauty also helps her earn an awesome name inspired by astronomy that was bestowed on her by a man from the s...
