Actress Anne Hathaway has made the daunting transition from child star to serious actress – and had an impact on baby names along the way.
In honor of her November 12 birthday, here’s a look at the names she’s worn.
Unlike many well-known actors, Hathaway’s path to stardom was a relatively straight road.

Looking forward to seeing her star as Judy Garland! I hadn’t heard that rumor, but she seems the *perfect* fit for the role.

November 13, 2009 at 12:27 AMAmelia is beautiful and, while overused in Internet-land, it is underused in RL.
Ella, Mia, and Emma are all super-popular but, all-in-all, great names. Mia on its own is a little too nicknamey for me.
Andrea “ann-DREE-uh” is dated. Andrea “ahn-DRAY-uh” has potential. But you’re going to have pronunciation issues all over the place. Andy’s a cute, tomboyish nickname, I guess. I don’t like it one bit.
Kym? *headdesk* I don’t even like Kimberly that much, but at least its not Kymberly!
I can’t gush enough about Jane. I simply adore it’s simplicity and beauty.
In the long run, I think she’s played some well-named characters.
