Gothic boy names have long captured the hearts of romantics and rockers alike. Whether you’d like a modern moniker with an edge or a historical charmer, we’ve got them on our list of gothic names for boys. Let’s meet some awesome goth names for boys together.
Our first stop in our journey through gothic boy names are those from the gothic period. This art style began in 12th-century France when Asa, Bartholomew, and Bertram were popular names for boys. Some gothic male names remain popular today, including Nicholas, David, and Adam. Others are rare, like Giles, Thurstan, and Silvester. Some of these traditional gothic boy names fit with modern choices, like Elias, Terric, and Saer. Many others thrive amongst the rise in vintage boy names, like Ralph, Henry, and Bennett.
Other gothic names for boys are surprisingly contemporary in sound, fitting today’s darker realms of art and music. These edgier gothic baby boy names have energy and undeniable rocker vibes that parents adore. This includes word name choices, like Onyx and Silver, and surname standouts, like Burton and Colson. In recent years, Blaze has enjoyed time in the Top 1000 Names, and we see plenty of room for his occupational name friend Slater on the charts.
Gothic boy names often have strong associations with media, like Louis, a French favorite used in the novel Interview With a Vampire. You could use author monikers to nab the perfect boy gothic names, like Edgar and Poe, as in Edgar Allan Poe, or Oscar and Wilde, as in Oscar Wilde. We can’t forget Bram either, as in Bram Stoker, the author Dracula.
Gothic boy names and meanings with mystery go hand in hand. Some of our favorites are Sullivan’s “dark-eyed,” Colden’s “dark valley,” and Delano’s “nighttime.”
Browse our collection of gothic boy names and see which names rocket to the top of your favorites list.
