Halloween names reference the holiday and all things spooky. Jack and Luna represent Halloween iconography, Autumn and Scorpio connect to the Halloween season, and names such as Wednesday and Damien relate to chilling characters from pop culture.
Along with Autumn, other Halloween girl names in the US Top 1000 include Annabelle, Hazel, Lilith, Marley, and Sabrina. In addition to Jack other Halloween boy names in the US Top 1000 include Jason, Salem, and Vincent.
Benign Halloween names that are related to the less scary parts of the holiday include Eve, Trixie, Casper, and October.
Would you really want to choose one of these baby names for a child born on or near Halloween? Debatable. But those who are into celebrating the holiday may want to adopt their own Halloween name from this collection of names of ghostly or witchy people, characters, and things.
