At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Evil characters are crucial to the plot development in stories.
They bring about a sense of fear and keep an audience hooked to the plot. Giving them sinister names is the perfect way to ensure that their identity matches their personality.
Whether it's names for vampires or sinister characters from mythology, choosing the perfect evil name for characters can send chills down one's spine and herald the beginning of doom. No big announcements or grand entries are needed for such characters. They will be able to command the attention of everyone just with the mere announcement of their names.
Several creepy names with dark meanings that translate to blood make good character names and highlight the evil nature of "bad" characters in a story. If you're the kind that's up to experiment a little, you may even find that some of these names make great baby names. That is, of course, if you want to be truly adventurous. We can't guarantee your baby will grow up to be proud of their name if you choose these evil names as baby names.
