It’s official: David Lynch and Mark Frost are bringing Twin Peaks back to the small screen. Nine new episodes will air on Showtime in early 2016. To welcome its return, we’ve compiled a list of Twin Peaks-inspired baby names for your little cult fan-to-be.
The FBI and DEA
- Special Agent DaleCooper is assigned to Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of LauraPalmer. He’s a Buddhist who loves the paranormal.
- Few would guess that the arrogant Albert Rosenfield, the forensics expert, has a deeply spiritual nature.
- Agent ChesterDesmond mysteriously disappears while investigating the murder of Teresa Banks. Agent Desmond is assisted by the too-serious forensics specialist SamStanley.
- David Bowie portrays Phillip Jeffries, the disturbed FBI agent who disappears and reappears without warning or explanation.
- Roger Hardy is the FBI’s internal affairs agent who temporarily suspends Cooper from the FBI.

- Madeleine “Maddy” Ferguson is Laura’s doppelganger cousin. (Both Laura and Maddy are portrayed by actress Sheryl Lee.)
The Sheriff’s Department
- Sheriff Harry S. Truman helps Cooper solve the Laura Palmer case. Truman (a cool first name, don’t you think?) is obsessed with Josie Packard.
- Deputy Andy Brennan is Truman’s reliable, albeit dorky, sidekick. Deputy Tommy “Hawk” Hill, a Native American, has wicked tracking skills.
- Lucy Moran is the receptionist for the sheriff’s department. Might Brennan be the father of her baby?
