Zombie names: spooky, funny, couple and pet ideas

Whether you are naming a costume, a character in a story or the family dog for Halloween, a good zombie name does two jobs: it tells people the mood (creepy, silly or sweet) and it is easy to say out loud.

Need the costume to match? The zombie couple costume ideas and the zombie bride costume guide go with most of these.

Zombie dog names

Dog names work best when they are short and easy to shout at the park. Breed puns are the crowd favourite, but a plain, friendly name suits a zombie dog that is still a very good boy or girl underneath.

• Rover Again

Zombie cat names

Cats already look unimpressed by everything, so lean into it: regal titles, gloomy words and puns on purring and hissing all fit. These also work for a black cat costume or a spooky pet account.

• Purrgatory
• Catacomb
• Hisstoria
• Clawdia
• Ninth Life
• Ashes
• Smudge
• Cinderpaws
• Grimalkin
• Nightshade

• Morgana
• Boo
• Whiskers the Undead
• Mewmmy
• Tombi

Want to see the newly named pet in action? Zombie Pet AI takes a photo of you and a photo of your dog or cat and makes a story where your pet turns but still loves you: try Good Dog, Still or Nine Lives, One Left. Please keep real pets paint-free; a torn bandana is costume enough.

Tips for naming a zombie character

• Start with the before. A zombie who was a chef, a jogger or a bride gets funnier and sadder with a name that remembers it. The zombie costume ideas are full of these.
• Keep it sayable. If you cannot groan it across a noisy room, shorten it.
• Choose one tone. Spooky names suit horror stories; puns suit parties and pets; a plain human name suits the sad love-story zombie.
• Use alliteration. Limping Lou and Necro Nancy stick in the memory.
• Check it is original. Avoid names from famous franchises if you are posting or selling anything.
