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. 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
