Freddy, Jason & Michael: Horror Inspired Names

    Happy Halloween! πŸŽƒ Halloween is synonymous with Horror — so I will be talking about the top three horror movie character's names! 
    For non-horror fans, the names Freddy, Jason and Michael may seem like everyday names for a boy or man. But πŸ“›Freddy (born Frederick) Krueger, πŸ“›Jason Voorhees and πŸ“›Michael Myers are significant names being the 'Big 3' in the world of πŸ”ͺ🩸horror movies. πŸŽ₯ 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. 😱 
    Interestingly, the meaning of each iconic horror name is... good. πŸ“›Freddy means "peaceful ruler", πŸ“›Jason means "to heal" and πŸ“›Michael 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 πŸ€” or better yet, if there's any sibling set, brothers (triplets) named after each horror character. 😨 That would be something else (and pretty cool 😎 I admit) having sons πŸ‘ΌπŸ»πŸ‘ΌπŸ»πŸ‘ΌπŸ» named: Freddy, Jason and Michael. 😰
    I like the names πŸ“›Freddy πŸ‘πŸΎ and πŸ“›Jason πŸ‘πŸΎ most — not a big fan of πŸ“›Michael πŸ€·πŸΎ‍♀️ but I do like Michael Myers a lot. πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ
