Character Names

Aaron Samuels — Is your new fur baby a real heart-throb? Name him after Cady’s crush.

Cady Heron —  A name that means “pure” and “idyllic place,” Cady was the perfect name for the movie’s protagonist, who goes from life in the wilds of Africa to the jungle that is a typical American high school. 

Caroline Krafft — The math quiz competitor who was pitted against Cady in the State Championship.

Chastity Meyer —  A member of The Plastics in Mean Girls 2.

Hope Plotkin — A member of The Plastics in Mean Girls 2.

Janis Ian —  While there will be those who think that you’ve named your pup after the 70s singer/songwriter who crooned the ode to teenage angst “At Seventeen,” movie buffs will recognize the name of the school outcast who shows Cady the ropes at school.

Johanna (Jo) Mitchell — The main character of Mean Girls 2.

Karen Smith —  Although the name may currently have a negative connotation, Mean Girls fans will recognize the name as an homage to the peppy, and scatterbrained, member of the Plastics. Known as Karen Smith in the original movie, the character’s surname was changed to Karen Shetty in the 2024 movie musical.
