For non-horror fans, the names Freddy, Jason and Michael may seem like everyday names for a boy or man. But πFreddy (born Frederick) Krueger, πJason Voorhees and πMichael Myers are significant names being the 'Big 3' in the world of πͺπ©Έhorror movies. π₯ The names Freddy, Jason and Michael are all unsuspecting and pretty normal enough in the real world, yet their bearers signify evil incarnate in Horror. π±
Interestingly, the meaning of each iconic horror name is... good. π πFreddy means "peaceful ruler", πJason means "to heal" and πMichael means "who is like God?" Michael is the most popular of the three, ranking at #18 on the Most Popular Baby Names of 2024. Jason is second, coming in at #148. Freddy is the least popular name, at least in the U.S. In England, Freddy is the #319th most popular name.
I wonder if there are any baby boys specifically named after any of the horror villains π€ or better yet, if there's any sibling set, brothers (triplets) named after each horror character. π¨ That would be something else (and pretty cool π I admit) having sons πΌπ»πΌπ»πΌπ» named: Freddy, Jason and Michael. π°
I like the names πFreddy ππΎ and πJason ππΎ most — not a big fan of πMichael π€·πΎ♀️ but I do like Michael Myers a lot. ππΎ
