One of the unexpectedly difficult parts of welcoming a new baby is undoubtedly choosing a baby name that you will love and hopefully suit their unique personality, all before you even meet them.
So if you’re welcoming a winter baby, maybe you want something outside the box that’s less cute and conventional and more dark and moody. Whether you’re an emo kid at heart or you just want to tap into a dark, brooding vibe for choosing your baby’s name, there are plenty of goth-inspired names out there that will fit the bill in spades.
These unexpected picks come from literature, mythology, nature, pop culture, and the dark arts, so you’ll find baby names to love that suit any gender. Here, you’ll find that the ominous and mysterious is kind of the ultimate goal, especially if you’re into dark academia or romance.
You will certainly recognize some literary classics (such as Holden and Juliet) as well as mythological favorites such as Orpheus and Jocasta that will present images of strong and powerful warriors who also love the coziness that nature brings. of cold weather.
Without further ado, check out this list of dreamy dark baby names for your little one.
