Why settle for another boring, typical baby name when you can step out of the box and do something itneresting? Let that creativity flow and embrace the dark side with one of these 60 dark, scary, and evil baby names.

Girls

Raven

This all black, beautiful bird may be the symbol of death and destruction in movies, but it’s undeniably a dark and stunning name for any baby girl out there. 

Edana

Small, fiery one.

Belladonna

While this name may be shortened to ‘Bella’ to refer to the classic movie Twilight, the actual reasoning for Belladonna being a scary baby girl name is because it is the name of a highly poisonous plant.

Kieran

A lovely name meaning little dark one.

Carrie

From the classic movie ‘Carrie’, which we ALL know and love. This name is sure to never go out of style. 

Cruella

My, my my, Cruella. She made us downright hate her when we watched the beloved 101 Dalmatians movies, but now that we’re older we can respect that cruel name. It’s got ‘cruel’ built right into it!

Elysium

A place of rest for heroes.

Desdemona

Such a stunning name, but it holds a lot of evil and darkness behind it thanks to Shakespeare and it’s true meaning of ‘ill-fated one’ from the Greeks. While it may be dark and scary, it’s probably one of the prettiest names we’ve ever heard.

Elvira

For obvious reasons, and if you don’t know, we gladly advise you to look it up.

Ivy

A little more cute than scary, but still frightening due to POISON ivy!

Lilith

Yes, this name is actually terrifying. Why? Because the meaning is ‘spirit of the night’ and this dark and scary baby girl name just so happens to be the name of a female demon in Jewish mythology.

Morticia

Form the Addams Family, of course!

Samara

If ‘The Ring’ scared you as much as it scared me, this name sends shivers down your spine in an instant.

Hestia

FIRESIDE!

Shadow

Very unique, but very dark and scary as well.

Keres

This name might sound adorable, but it means evil spirits; you may not want to use that one.

Lezabel

A queen that was ripped to shreds by hounds. Umm, yikes?

Pandora

A mythological creature that everyone adores but is downright afraid of.

Mara

This cute little name is actually the cause of many nightmares, so beware.

Succubus

THEE most powerful female demon out there. Love this scary baby girl name.

Qarina

Much like Karina, except this nice name is actually the name of a demon in Arabian mythology.

Jezebeth

A rather stunning name, but scary because she is the demon of the falsehoods.

Prosperine

Princess of HELL!

Elizabeth

From the Countess Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary.

Ambrosia

Delightful, but actually means food of the gods.

Astrid

Gorgeous!

Zurie

Exotic.

Layla

Actually meaning ‘dark beauty’, it’s a winner for sure.

Selene

Ah, so seductive!

Rhea

Another wonder titaness name. 

Boys

Ash

Ash is from fire, which makes this baby boy name an instant thrill.

Blade

The sharpness of a blade on a sword will make anybody cringe in fear, which makes this the perfect evil baby boy name.

Zeus

KING of the GODS!

Casper

Yes he’s friendly, but he is STILL a scary ghost.

Chucky

Nothing sparks fear in our hearts than seeing that creepy, crazed doll running down the hall with a huge knife!

Astaron

A demon, to be so subtle.

Styx

The name of the underworld river.

Damien

This is probably one of THEE most classic scary baby boy names on the planet. After all, we all associate the name Damien with that creepy boy in ‘The Omen’ and we love it!

Hunter

One that hunts, why not?

Tartarus

He is the god of the DARKEST part of the underworld; scared yet?

Thanatos

God of death!

Dracula

Such a classic, but always works as the ideal scary baby boy name.

Freddy

Freddy Krueger haunts our dreams, but hopefully your precious baby boy will let you sleep- even if he’s given this dark name.

Hades

Aw, the Greek god of the underworld. How freaky is that?

Hannibal

This murderer had one unique and interesting name, but it has quite a sophisticated tone to it.

Jason

While this name may be rather common, to the horror movie enthusiast this name brings nothing but fright thanks to ‘Friday the 13th’!

Uranus

FATHER of all of the TITANS!

Lucifer

Must be say any more?

Vlad

Vlad, from Vlad the impaler. Scared yet?

Daman

It literally means ‘demon’. Love it!

Samael

According to Jewish myth, Samael is the fallen angel and doubles as the Grim Reaper, which is why we think this is the perfect evil baby boy name.

Satan

Yes, that’s terrifying.

Seth

Being the god of Chaos, Desert, and Storm, he’s evil enough!

Abaddon

Sounds awfully similar to ‘Aladdin’, but we guarantee you it’s not.

Aamon

If you didn’t already know, this demon is the Grand Marquis of Hell, so it’s definitely scary enough to send chills down our spines every time we say it.

Alaric

Quite interesting from ‘Vampire Diaries’.

Spike

No, not just a name for dogs, ‘Buffy’ lovers!

Alessandro

For that charming little vampire.

Draven

Can’t get over this awesome but very scary baby boy name.

Malcolm

From ‘True Blood’, of course!
