While we may have dreamed of being rescued by a Prince Charming in our childhood, modern-day fictional princes are a little different than they used to be back in the ’80s. That doesn’t mean fictional princes, past and present, aren’t an amazing inspiration for moms-to-be who are looking for a baby name.
While Prince Charming doesn’t appear on this list, Charmont does, which happens to be very similar to the French word for “charming.” But don’t worry — there are plenty of other Disney princes represented here, as well as princes from other works of popular fiction, such as The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
While the fictional stories of these princes don’t always have a happy ending (and some of the princes are huge jerks as well), that doesn’t mean you can’t find great ideas right here.
Here are 31 fictional princes, along with the works they came from (whether from comic books, literature, TV, film or a combo). Maybe you’ll find the perfect name for your very own little prince.
