Channel Your Inner Roy With These 11 Succession-Inspired Baby Names

You don’t have to be the head of Waystar Royco to know that picking a baby name is a big deal. This one single word will serve as a major jumping-off point to how your child identifies themselves in the world. Yes, a lot of power can come from a name — just ask the Roy family on Succession.

These characters wield their family name like a weapon and use it to get what they want. Sure, most of them are horrible to their very core, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to rock a memorable moniker. What’s in a name? Let these Succession characters provide a little inspiration.

Roy

Why not start with the most notable name in the bunch? Sure, this serves as their surname throughout the series, but it’s a solid choice for a first name, too. What it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in style. Celtic in origin, Roy means “king.”

Logan

This Logan may strike fear into the hearts of, well, everyone, but that shouldn’t stop you from naming your own offspring after him. Maybe just have the similarities begin and end there, amirite? (Logan is a Scottish name meaning “hollow.” So, ICYMI, Logan Roy = hollow king.)

Greg

What would the show be without the bumbling, awkward, downright hysterical Cousin Greg? He would be deeply honored to have a child named after him — or, as he would probably phrase it, “If it is to be said. So it be. So it is.” Classic Greg.

Kendall

This is a great gender-neutral option and is said to mean “valley of the river Kent.” The name also contains British origins, which somehow makes it even cooler — unlike Kendall Roy’s rapping, which remains super cringeworthy to this day.

Roman

This is a name that empires and mythologies are named after. It’s somehow old-timey and modern at the same time. Much like Kieran Culkin’s portrayal of the character, Roman is a unique, charming name and someone you’re likely to never forget.

Siobhan

Admittedly, the name could prove to be a spelling nightmare, especially for a young child, but it’s also beautifully eccentric. It’s a special name to only be given to an equally special person. And who falls under that category better than your upcoming child? Of Irish origin, it means “god is gracious.”

Connor

He may be the least popular Roy sibling, but that’s more to do with his overall personality rather than his name, which has Irish roots and means “lover of hounds.” And, really, anything that implies affection toward dogs is a winner in our book.

Tom

Much like the character, this name is sometimes overlooked for more edgy-type names. But as Shiv has proven, underestimating Tom can be to your detriment. This traditional choice, which means “a twin,” is also extremely versatile. Thomas, Tom, Tommy — the cute nicknames are endless.

Gerri

Gerri is arguably one of the best (and most likable) characters on Succession, which should shoot this name option right to the top of the list. Add that to the fact that it means “spear ruler” and is the name of one of the members of the Spice Girls, there’s no denying it should be a top contender.

Willa

Viewers don’t see all that much of this character on-screen, but you have to admit that the name itself is pretty. That makes sense, considering it quite literally means “desire.” So try not to let the fact that she’s romantically tied to Connor dissuade you. Nobody’s perfect, after all.

Rava

If you’re looking for something more unique, how about Rava? This woman managed to (mostly) escape the clutches of the Roy family relatively unscathed. That’s impressive in and of itself. That kind of strength and scrappiness is more than suitable for your little bundle of joy. Bonus: It means “ravishing.”
