When it comes to choosing a name for your baby, there are a few that you probably would never pick, usually due to the fact that you know someone with that name.

 

However, it’s not just names that you know people already have that you won’t go for, there are a few that have become a little bit creepy and scary because of old legend, movies or even books.

 

Considering it is almost Halloween, we thought it would be a good idea to list the names that have become associated with something that you may not necessarily want your child to be associated with!
