Inspiration for babies born on the 31st please!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

That's cool. We have a little Quentin who I'm sure will be pleased to find out the association with Halloween!

Oriunda · 30/10/2013 09:46

In the (Italian) catholic calendar 31st is St. Lucilla ..... So either Lucilla/Lucille would work?

31st October is St Quentin's day.

I'm not sure that's a name that's going to come back in a hurry. Or maybe that's just my prejudice - for me it's irretrievably associated with The Comic Strip and Five Go Mad in Dorset!

Bathory Well surnames do seem to be the flavour of the month.....

perplexedpirate · 29/10/2013 20:47

Love this idea.
I want a Halloween baby now!

Oriunda · 29/10/2013 20:40

I think it's fine as most people won't connect it:)

my DS1 was born on st Patrick's day & everytime someone finds out his DOB they say
'should have called him Patrick'
infuriates me. the midwife said it as I was passed him after giving birth, if I could move my legs I would have kicked her

msmiggins · 29/10/2013 14:13

I love Tabitha- the little girl in bewitched was called that. Not too popular or in the media like Buffy.

Halloween baby names reference the holiday and all things spooky.
Casper
Buffy
Autumn
Blair
They names are sweet, most popular and impaired by Halloween.

MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams · 28/10/2013 22:34

I have a Meg and have never even thought of it being a Halloween name. Shes a Christmas baby, anyways, so that helps but even if she were born 31st Oct id never have made thw connection.

creepypenisreaper · 28/10/2013 22:32

SoupDragon I really don't understand the difference between a Christmas and Halloween inspired name.

MetellaestinHauntedBroomstick · 28/10/2013 22:28

Autumn

Cremolafoam · 28/10/2013 22:25

Apple
Merlin

SoupDragon · 28/10/2013 22:22

Because a child born on Halloween called Frankie is going to get the piss ripped out of them. It's hardly the same as Holly or Ivy is it? It is also nothing like calling a child born in March "Frankie"

You are name a child, not a pet.
It is the child who has to live with it, not you.

BloodiedGhouloshes · 28/10/2013 22:21

You could go for Pagan names? I am not sure what those would be, but something lovely like Willow or Rowan or Leveret?

PipkinsPal · 28/10/2013 22:18

Morticia, Elvira, Lily, Herman (Munster).

creepypenisreaper · 28/10/2013 22:17

SoupDragon so people who call their child Frankie or Jack are cruel? What's wrong with using a holiday as inspiration. People use Holly and Ivy at Christmas, and names like April May and June in their respective months

creepypenisreaper · 28/10/2013 22:15

Igor
Nosferatu
Chucky

Just joking, but I do like Elvira (as in Mistress of the Dark) as suggested by IBelieveInAngels. If I was going to have a girl it was on my shortlist
