Why don't you broaden your Broadway horizons? I've never seen you not talk about either Wicked or Spring Awakening. This may shock you, but there are more shows in New York.

I have never gotten to see the show "Ragtime," but I love the name Sarah and it would be at the top of my list for a girl. Sally(a forum of Sarah)is also the name of one of my favorite characters in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" TV series and comic book, so I kind of have name inspiration from that.

Lea is another girl's name that I think is pretty; I liked the name even before I became a Lea Salonga fan. Same thing for the name Kim.

For a boys name, I like the name Micheal; not necessaryly named after Micheal Crawford or Micheal Ball though.

I've decided I'd actually consider Pascal as a possibility for a first name.

Pascal Laurent.

It's a name I've always considered, but just noticed now that it could be related to broadway in some odd way.

I really don't want kids. But if I ever had a son he would be named Raul Julian. I like the play on Raul Julia's name. But he would be called Jude which is an homage to Paul McCartney and John Lennon.

My guinea pig is named Roxie, after Roxie Hart from Chicago.

Anyway, I've always loved Shakespearian names for girls, if that counts. Ophelia, Emilia, Bianca, etc. I sort of want to give a girl the middle name Jane after Jane Eyre. I also love opera names: Adele, Susanna, Zerlina, etc.

Cosette's real name is actually Euphrasie. I think that's super pretty, but people would butcher the pronunciation, I'm sure.

Anyway, for guys I love musical theatre names. My favorite is Erik, after the Phantom of the Opera. I just love that name with that spelling. I also really want to name my son after the Scarlet Pimpernel, Percival Blakeney, but I am aware that a kid named Percy would probably get beaten up. A lot. And then it's also the name of that snobby dog from Pocahontas.

Boys:
Cole (After Cole Porter)
Jerome (Jerome Robbins)
Gene (Gene Kelly)
Claude (Hair)
Johnny Gallagher (I like how it sounds..I'm not even super obsessed with him. I really love the name though)
Anton, Anthony, or Tony (The Anton from West Side Story, Anthony as in Anthony Rapp, and Tony as in Antoinette Perry Awards)


Girls:
Nessa (Wicked)
Gwen (Gwen Verdon)
Kristin (I've always loved the name)
I would use Idina as a middle name, but probably not a first name
Belle (I've always loved Beauty and the Beast)
Adelaide (So I can laugh at her whenever she develops a cold)

For girls, I really like the names Annaleigh and Haven. I think they're both cute names.

For boys, I've always liked the names Matthew and Aaron, which could relate to certain Broadway people (Morrison and Tveit).

A director I work with started her career playing Eponine on the West End and so she named her beautiful daughter Eponine.
