Happy Halloween, Halloween!

Here are some of our favorite spooky names we found on old census records using www.ancestry.com:
  • Eliza Ghost
  • Ghoul Moore
  • Specter Johnson
  • Pumpkin Hill
  • Jack Lantern
  • Witch Watty (Witch was a boy--his parents must not have heard about warlocks.)
  • Warlock Pinkney (Yes, his parents got it right!)
  • Haunt Page
  • Scary Rith (Scary and Haunt were both female. These sound manly to me--who knew!)
  • Trick Rea
  • Treat Askew
  • Fairy Tucker
  • Princess Whistnant (Poor boy.)
  • October Gulley
  • Freddy Krueger
  • Frank Stein
  • Vamp Sweeney
  • Grave Daring
  • Halloween Doyle (Halloween also seems to be a feminine name!)

Have a frighteningly spectacular Halloween!

  1. Scary was actually one of the middle names I had picked out for my son before he was born. We decided to go with a family name though. Who knew he would grow to live up to my original choice? Hopefully he'll grow out of it though. :)
