Helpwhat names scare you when you hear them?
It's a Halloween thing. Certain names instantly make me picture people or events and locations related to the season. My names are Abel, Cane, Jezabel, Violet.

Hmm.

I'm sure there are others.

Vercingetorix, Cunobelinus, Artakhshathra...
A lot of ancient names freak me out a bit.
Agrippa / Agrippina
Baldomar
Balthazar, Belshazzar
Demostrate
Dionysodoros
Euphranor
Eupraxia
Gwrtheyrn
Hildegard
Hippolytos
Lugubelenus
Lycurgus / Lykourgos
Mathghamhain
Mithradatha
Pythagoras - reminds me of math, which is possibly the scariest thing in the world to me
Waldeburg
Waldedrudis

awesome collection!
I think my next PP will be named Lugubelenus. Ancient weird names are how I became a name nerd.

The name disturbs me on a deep level, both for personal and aesthetic reasons. I don't think it's a bad name, though.

None of them do. I don't see how a name can scare someone.

Bane. IIRC, someone posted here once and said he wanted to name his son Bane. I think I'd be nervous around someone named Bane.

BANE!? Doesn't that mean something like "curse"? (I read Precious Bane this summer.)

Yeah ... the cause of ruin, woe, illness, and death.
It's also the name of several action/fantasy characters, which is where I think its appeal came from, to those who might fancy it. And using older meanings, it could be interpreted as protection (a bane that is useful against something evil). But all I get from it is an air of evil.

Haha. OK, I can't say I find any names scary (Adolf, perhaps...), but Halloween names?
Halloween isn't celebrated much in Sweden. Some children dress up and go trick-or-treating, and you can buy pumpkins, but that's all. It wasn't celebrated at all when I was little (1980's-90's). We dressed up as Easter Witches for Maundy Thursday instead.
OK, 'nuff rambling. Halloween names.
Candle
Chalice
Desdemona
Szandor
Aleister
Belladonna
Morgan or Morgana
Oleander
Hecate
Ivy (as in poison ivy)
Carmilla
Lestat
Vlad
Hel
