Female Halloween Baby Names

Choosing a Halloween baby name is a delightfully spooky choice for families whose little one arrives in October — or for parents who simply love the magic of costumes, moonlight, and pumpkin-spiced everything. Halloween baby names carry a hint of mystery, a dash of the witchy, and a strong sense of the imaginative. They're perfect for children born near October 31, but they work just as well any time of year for parents who adore folklore and a little dark whimsy.

For girls, consider Luna (moon), Hazel (witch-hazel and a famous witchy name), Salem (after the Massachusetts town), Raven (the classic Poe bird), and Willow (associated with witch craft). For boys, try Jack (as in jack-o'-lantern), Damien, Grim, Wolf, or Orion (the hunter constellation that rises in autumn). Literary fans can pull names from Harry Potter (Luna, Hermione, Draco), from Tim Burton (Victor, Emily, Sally), or from classic horror authors (Edgar, Shelley, Poe). Autumn nature names like Autumn, Oakley, and Briar also fit the Halloween feeling without going full witchy.

To use one well, pair a dramatic Halloween first name with a softer middle name to balance it, or use Halloween-themed names in the middle slot. If you love atmosphere-based picks, you may also enjoy our Goddess baby names, Snow baby names, or our Poetic collection. A Halloween baby name gives your child a name with a little magic in it forever.
