You may think of Dracula’s fangs or Edward Cullen’s sparkle when you think of vampires. With their dark and brooding energy, they’re definitely the most alluring mythical creatures out there.

Stories and warnings about these blood-sucking creatures have been told in Eastern Europe for centuries. This is why vampire names like Vlad or Natasha often sound older and more Russian, Romanian or Slavic.

If you’re worried about a vampire name for your boy or girl sounding a little too old school, don’t be! Thanks to pop culture phenomena like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries, vampire names sound a bit more Westernized. No matter what name you go with, we have a feeling you’ll love our list of male and female vampire names that will make you feel straight out of Transylvania.
