Names from Orange is the New Black

One of my all-time favorite shows is Netflix's Orange is the New Black. The actresses are fantastic and the writing is absolutely hilarious. So here's a list of show names!


This list originally appeared on my Nameberry account!

Piper
This on-the-rise occupation name is great for any determined, independent girl.

Alex
Strong and energetic, this unisex name has a cool x-factor.

Tiffany
The real name of "Pennsatucky", this name is luxurious and feminine.

Daya
Sounds like the popular Maya, but has a more serious meaning: "bird of prey."

Aleida
Not found on Nameberry, but a beautiful alternative to Alicia, Alana or Lydia.

Galina
"Red"'s real name, this moniker is more calm than feisty.

Sophia
Very popular, very feminine, very wise.

Carrie
The real name of "Big Boo," this name transitions well from youth to adulthood.

Maritza
Unique update to Marissa or Maria.

Blanca
Beautiful Latina alternative to Bianca or Blanche.

Marisol
"Flaca"'s real name, very summery with an L ending (a la Rachel, Kendall, Crystal).

Taystee
Better as a nickname, but absolutely delicious.

Poussey
Sounds a bit too much like... well, you know; but the "ay" sound ending is gorgeously French.

Brook
Outdoorsy and hip, the grown-up Brooklyn.

Cindy
A cute nickname-name, or as short for Cynthia or Lucinda.

Tova
Cindy's chosen Jewish name, strong and just "good" (meaning).

Suzanne
The real name of "Crazy Eyes", a chic update to Susan (and it means "lily")!

Lolly
A cross between Holly and Lily, this is super-sweet (almost too sweet).

Gloria
Cross-cultural and melodic.

Lorna
Literary and unique, this literary name could be a great update to Lauren or Laura.

Stella
On-the-rise and all over the playgrounds, this name is stunning.

Nicole
Soft, French and well-used.

Mei
The first name of inmate "Chang," pretty and feminine.

Norma
Grandmotherly, but not too far from popular Nora.

Janae
Another French "ay" ending, this is a beautiful update to Jane or Janet.

Leanne
A midcentury name, yes, but very elegant.

Angie
Another nickname name, cute diminutive of Angela, Angelina or Angelica.
