I have a really cool idea for a fantasy tpe story that will be set modern day and in the us somewhere. It will have different creatures in it (i.e. mermaids, ghosts, vampires, etc…) and I was hoping to get some names that have dark or creepy meanings.
Also, if you have any names from around the 1600 - 1900’s type eras, I would love to hear them (for the ghosts). My vision for these names was something long and unusual (i.e. [name]Victoria[/name]) but that it would have a dark meaning (i.e. unhappy, or unlucky)
I would love to here your ideas and suggestions! Thank you in advance

Here’s a pretty cool list of ‘evil’ baby names! http://ugweb.cs.ualberta.ca/~joanna/misc.html
Eh, but [name]Vega[/name] means the swooping eagle, not falling star.
[name]Mallory[/name] is a unisex name meaning misfortunate. I forget where it comes from, probably [name]England[/name] or somewhere though. It would be quite ironic for someone who is quite lucky.
[name]Seth[/name] is another version of [name]Set[/name], which is the Egyptian God of war and strife.
Whilmeania like mean
I like the name [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], which means “The Dark One.”
[name_f]Shivani[/name_f] and [name_f]Thana[/name_f] both mean death, which is creepy by itself! You could also go with [name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Laila[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f], all of which mean night, or the especially creepy Ranjani, meaning ‘night’, or ‘of the dark’.
The perenially creepy and demonic associations of [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] would make it an exceptional choice for creepy names, too, and probably at the top of my list. Also, by association, [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] could be a fitting choice!
As for boy’s names, [name_m]Manu[/name_m] is a good one (bird of the night), but [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] (meaning crow), or [name_m]Orev[/name_m] (raven) could be equally sinister choices. [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] (black water) could also be a good one.
Best of luck with your writing!
