Introduction

Ghosts have always been fascinating to people. Do they exist, what do they want, and why do they come back to haunt us? A ghost is a spirit or a soul of a person who passed away, or even an animal, that can appear to the living for some reason. Typically, ghosts come back and appear to us because they have some unfinished business, or they have something important to communicate from the afterlife. They can be friendly or dangerous, but one thing is certain, ghosts have always been present in the folklore of virtually every culture in the world.

Dog Name Meaning Ghost Considerations

If you are a fan of the supernatural and you just love ghost stories, whether they come from Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, or Stephen King, you can rest assured that you can find a fantastic name for your pupper inspired by this spiritual phenomenon. You can go the multicultural way and name your doggo after one of the words for a ghost. Whether you choose Finnish, Latin, or the Yoruba language, you will surely find a perfect moniker for your spooky dogger. However, another option is to name your pup after one of the iconic writers that explored the ghost story and added a lot to the world literature.

One of these famous writers is the famous Charles Dickens, whose name can become your pup’s new moniker. You can name them King, after Stephen King, or maybe even Sheridan, after Sheridan Le Fanu, who definitely has an archaic, but beautiful name that will make your showy white pup stand out even more. Let’s not forget the name Edgar, after Edgar Allan Poe, the famous horror writer and poet, and of course Bram, after Bram Stoker, who explored both the themes of ghosts and vampires in his stories and novels.
