Six Spooky Doll Names for Halloween

Chucky is primarily known as a diminutive or nickname form of Charles, which has Germanic origins meaning 'free man' or 'manly.' The name gained notable recognition through the horror film character 'Chucky,' a possessed doll featured in the Child's Play franchise beginning in 1988. Before the films, it was simply an affectionate nickname, often used for young boys named Charles, Charlie, or Chuck. The name has a playful, friendly sound that contrasts with its horror film associations. While rarely used as a formal given name, Chucky still appears occasionally as a nickname or informal name. Its popularity as a given name declined after the horror films, though some parents might choose it for its friendly, approachable quality, particularly if it has family significance.
