“So, how did Waller-Bridge come up with the name “Fleabag” in the first place? In an interview with Decider, she shared that it’s her family nickname. But she was very clear about the fact that the show is not based on her personal life. The name provided the perfect springboard to craft a multidimensional character:

“I also wanted something that would create an immediate subtext for the character. So, calling her ‘Fleabag,’ calling the show Fleabag, gives the subtext of ‘Fleabaggy-ness.’ Then presents herself so…nice hair, lipstick, coat…like, nailed it. She looks like she’s got stuff together, and yet her name betrays the subtext of her.”

Fleabag began as a one-woman stage play that took off in the UK in 2013. During Waller-Bridge’s theater performances–which can be caught on a farewell tour this year–she spends little time explaining the name, only giving a basic dictionary definition of the term. The idea carried over to the TV adaptation.”
