TV Mom names take their inspiration from the perfect (and sometimes highly imperfect) television mothers who typically vacuumed in heels and cooked their children hot lunches. Names that honor these paragons of domesticity range from Alice to Winnie, with detours to Peg and Tami.
Along with Alice and Winnie, other TV mom names in the US Top 1000 include Caroline, Harriet, Helen, June, Katherine, Lily, Nora, Vivian, and Xiomara. Names with particularly strong ties to their fictional mothers include Endora, Marge, Moira, and Rainbow.
While some of these may seem hopelessly dated (they are mom names, after all), many names of TV moms — especially ones from earlier sitcoms — would be quite charming on a modern baby girl.
