Fantastical Boys' Names

Fantasy and science fiction are sources of escapism. Yet, they are also sources of intriguing names, many of which we would rarely find in the real world. 

Fantastical names stem from fantasy and science fiction, whether the medium be a television show, movie, book, or video game. They are usually uncommon even though that is not a requirement. What is a requirement, though, is that the name sounds exotic enough to associate itself with a character or world. However, it also cannot be too tied to the source material.

It became a common feminine name alongside Myrtle and Olive in the late Victorian Era. Hazel was a top 100 American name between 1886 and 1936, peaking in the top 20 in 1897.  Hazel was popular in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand around the same time as its American run. However, it did not enter the British top 100 until 1924. It remained popular in England and Wales until 1954, making it more retro over there.  As Hazel declined in popularity, pop culture reminded the public of its dated sound.
