50 Halloween Cat Names for Your New Kitten

If a kitten shows up around October, a Halloween-flavored name is hard to resist. Here’s a full list, sorted by vibe so you’re not scrolling through fifty options to find the right one.

Classic spooky names

Salem, Raven, Midnight, Shadow, Luna, Onyx, Jinx, Nyx, Ember, and Phantom — all lean seasonal without being a costume-level joke, which makes them work as a real, permanent name rather than something you’ll want to change by November.

Witch-and-magic themed names

Hazel, Merlin, Circe, Morgana, Sabrina, Wiccan, Broomhilda, Hex, Coven, and Spellbound — good for a cat whose personality already feels a little mysterious or theatrical.

Punny names

Purrkins, Meowloween, Catrick, Boo-ella, Fangs, Clawdia, Kitty Cauldron, Furocious, Whiskurella, and Meow-lice — these lean fully into the joke, which is either exactly what you want or a little much depending on your tolerance for cat puns.

Pumpkin-and-candy themed names

Pumpkin, Sprinkle, Candy Corn, Marshmallow, Toffee, Ginger, Clementine, Autumn, Maple, and Cider — softer, less overtly spooky, good for a cat with a warmer personality than a “Midnight” or “Phantom” would suggest.

Ghost-and-costume themed names

Casper, Boo, Wisp, Specter, Vapor, Mist, Ghost, Echo, Whisper, and Fable — fitting for a pale or white cat especially, or any cat with a quietly mysterious presence.

Naming your cat is one part of the celebration

Once the name’s settled, dressing yourself for the season is the easier half — Halloween Cats covers the shirt side of things, from purely cute picks to sassier, witch-themed designs that match a lot of the names on this list.
