Nothing to add really but absolutely loving some of the suggestions best baby name thread ever .

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?

OK Rainbow Brite

A word of caution. I get that you may be of a gothy persuasion yourself, but as a mother of a budding border-line goth girl, the performative angst is nerve-wracking. DD is doing her best to hide her goofy, zany nature under a bushelful of pale foundation in order to 'do' goth right, and it is such a shame. I was a punky goth in my teens so I get it, but maaan, it's hard work.

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

Loving most of these names - what a relief after the endless prissy Alices.

I have a friend called Hephzibah, which I always think sounds Victorian Gothic. I actually means something like "my delight is in her" which I really like. My friend's nickname is Eppie.

The shrub "Fuchsia" (and later the colour - an aniline dye was called fuchsine) was named after the 16th-century German botanist, Leonhart Fuchs.

'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'

Not true, in my teens I raided my parents wardrobe and music collection because they where pretty cool themselves (not goth but they had been biker/rockers although they dressed pretty normal in levis/wranglers and plaid by my teens they never hid their past styles from me) and I had no need to 'rebel' or 'shock' them.

It was nice to have really supportive parents who spent a fortune on clothes to help me hone my style without push back and besides my teenage angst was fed nicely by all the non family members who cluched their pearls when they saw me.

Sapphire
Jet
Luna
Ember

Morgana
Mervana (made that one up)
Tabitha
Dervisha

Eris (the goddess of strife)

My youngest's name has been mentioned multiple times I do love these names (and don't worry she is a very happy little girl so her name hasn't doomed her to a life of gloomy moodiness).
I love these names:
Iris
Rayna
Rowena
Raven
Lilith
Yvaine
Wren
Sorrell (although this one does sound a lot like sorrow which might put some people off)

Same! My mum had some gorgeous, darker outfits and what have you, I'd raid her wardrobes and rifle through dads extensive record collection (I grew up on a steady diet of Adam Ant, the cure, the damned and Bowie all of which I pinched from him ) when I was a little older they would take me to pick outfits at the 'goth shop' (cobwebs in Stockport) for birthdays and Christmas. They even let me decorate my room a gorgeous dark purple. I never felt like I was 'rebelling' I was nurtured and encouraged to find my own path. The only thing they didn't like was the black hair dye but that was only because of the mess I made of the bathroom doing it.
