@medebourne

Why on earth would anyone want to choose a 'sinister' name for their baby?! Are you a sinister person? Do you hang out with sinister people? Do you want your child to hang out with sinister people?

Being gothy when you're a suburban teenager and want to shock your neighbours and parents is quite interesting and 'edgy' I suppose, but why put that on your baby?

You might think it's naughty and rebellious to do graveyard chic, but is that seriously what you want for your child?

Some of the names here are divine. This is the absolute, best baby name thread.

Snow - I have always found it quite gothic.

Malveena. It was the name of one of my university professors and she seemed to me to match her name - like a character out of Wuthering Heights

Acantha is the name of a parasitic amoeba that can live on people’s eyes and be very damaging. Not an ideal association.

Chucky

AbsolutelyPatsy · 08/05/2021 14:54

@medebourne oh relax 🙄

Aozora13 · 08/05/2021 14:49

@crosspelican yeah I suggested Deirdre for the Sorrows connection but tbh I mostly associate it with the Coronation Street connection which perhaps isn’t quite the right vibe...

if you need to ask for a dark gothic name it obviously not what you want, let alone any baby“

Huh? Confused

On the other hand, none of these names are 'dark.' They're lovely names.

I know a few people wearing, or having girls, with names found on this thread. I'd love to see their face if they realised people thought they were "dark" or just "gothic" 😂

“Come on, though. If Mum is a Goth, there's no way that Baby Northernlights will be a Goth in her teens, She's more likely to rebel by becoming a cheerleader smile”

Delighting in the thought of a cheerleader called Mortician Grin

@Lurkerlot

Eloise Isabella Violet
Good to see Eloise spelled correctly. It is NOT Elouise.

On the other hand, none of these names are 'dark.' They're lovely names.

Why would you want a dark name for a child? (Directed at the OP.)
