Halloween Inspired Names *Girlies Edition*

Now on to the girls! This was suppose to be up on Friday but I wasn't home at all so better late then never!

Whisper- Whisper is one of my loves, it isn't on my list but I've toyed around with putting it there. Of course it's a word name which means "to speak softly". The name just sounds slightly haunting, like hearing whispers in the dark. Some may say it's not usable but I definitely do with other words getting more attention.

Sally- From Nightmare Before Christmas. Sally is just such a sweet name! So dainty and cute with a bit of old lady chic in there. Sally is a diminutive of Sarah which means "princess" or "lady". Sally could also be a nickname for Sallinger, Sariah, Salome, or Cecilia if you would prefer Sally as a nickname.

Persephone- Queen of the underworld*. While being the queen of the underworld may not be the best association I do think Persephone is simply gorgeous. Long and romantic but also has a darkness to it(which fits right into the Halloween vibe)!

Samara- From The Ring. While I'm shocked that Samara actually became more popular after the creepy movie I do see why, it's so pretty and different! Even though the movie did help this lovely name get recognition it isn't popular at all (#559 on the USA charts). Samara means "Guarded by God".

Some more Halloween inspired names:

Sabrina(From Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
Halle/Halo
Carrie(From Stephen Kings Carrie)
Luna(Means "Moon", or you could go with Moon)
October
Rosemary(From Rosemary's Baby)
Blair(From The Blair Witch Project)
Wednesday(Character from The Addams Family)
Tabitha nn Tabby
Lydia(From Beetlejuice)

For some reason it was so hard finding names! But alas the Halloween list is here.

* There were a lot of mixed meanings and history behind Persephone I just went with the most consistent one. Sorry if I have the wrong info! 

Halloween Inspired Names *GuyEdition*

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween! There are also a lot really cool names that to me fit right with the Halloween. Some are from Halloween movies while other have dark or mysterious feelings to them. Hope you enjoy these ghoulish finds haha!

Guys.

Jack- From the Nightmare Before Christmas(my absolute favorite movie). Also for Jack o'lantern. Jack is just a timeless and handsome name and with the connection to the amazing movie and pumpkin I think it's a perfect name for a little Halloween baby without being in your face obvious. Jack is a diminutive of John so I feel like John could also be a nice name to use.

Salem- From the Salem Witch Trials. While the witch trials might make this name unusable to some I think it definitely usable and should be used more. It has such a mysterious and cool vibe to it that works perfect with popular names today(such as Silas). Salem also means Peace which is such a nice meaning. Salem could also be used for a girl but I much prefer it for a boy.

Casper/Caspar- I have to talk about Casper! Such an amazingly cute name. Of course from Casper the friendly ghost which I actually don't think hinders the name. It just sounds like a name could make a great transition from a little boy to a man. Casper just has a cute but dashing feel and on the right person could definitely work. Caspar has a more romantic feel and I think it doesn't hold the ghost association. Casper is the dutch form of Jasper which means treasurer so if you don't want to use the up and coming Jasper, Casper would be a cute alternative. Caspar means imperial.

Night/Knight- Okay maybe not this is a little too out there but I definitely think it could work,maybe more as a middle or pet name but if your brave enough I think it could definitely work for a first name. Knight may be a better choice though since it would fit into the surnames as first trend.

Cullen(Edward Cullen from Twilight)
Freddie/Freddy(Kruger)
Dexter(T.V. show; Dexter)
Draco(means "Dragon/Serpent" & Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter)
Ciel(French for sky)
Blake(Means "Black/Pale")
Corbin(Means "Raven")
Wolfram(Means "Wolf raven")
