About Havoc
While some parents are going for Truce, Haven, Peace, and Klarity, others are opting for Riot (or Ryatt), Wilder, Pistol — and now, Havoc. Given to a small number of boys each year since 2008, this name was brought into the lexicon for girls when actor Rory Culkin and cinematographer Kate Arizmendi chose it for their daughter in 2026.
Havoc for girls

Havoc for boys#6588 US
Havoc may be viewed in two ways: a violent boy name associated with widespread destruction and devastation, or a more playful choice, associated with mayhem and mischief, a more gentle kind of chaos. Appearing in the US stats since 2008 (and yet to be give to more than 20 boys in a single year), a recent count saw 13 boys given the name. Still, with Rowdy and Wilder in style, and actor Rory Culkin choosing it for his daughter in 2026, this name could be one to keep an eye on.
