20 Wizard of Oz Inspired Baby Names

In case you haven’t noticed, The Wizard of Oz is a trend that is popping up just about everywhere. Oz: The Great and Powerful is a new Disney film that will officially hit theaters March 8, 2013 and has already spiked a explosion of sales in the toy and merchandise department. I can’t wait to see it! This is supposed to be a prequel to the original film The Wizard of Oz which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2014. You can also look forward to a Wizard of Oz float in the Macy’s Day Parade this year and in 2014. ;)

L. Frank Baum started it all when he penned 14 Oz books, publishing the first in 1900. It has become one of the best-known stories in American pop culture thanks to the original movie in 1939 and Disney’s upcoming version (which I can’t wait to see). If you are familiar with the story, series or movies, you know that there are quite a few unique characters with names to match.

It will be interesting to see if any of these 20 names from ‘Oz’ grow in popularity due to the spike in this story’s popularity. Would you consider any of these names for your little one?
