About boogeyman names

A bogeyman is rarely described, and that is the point: the figure parents warn about has no fixed shape, only a name and a place where it waits. Folk tradition builds that name from homely parts. A homely title (Old, Granny, Uncle, Mister) makes the thing sound like a neighbor, and then a sound, a body part or a hiding place does the frightening: Old Hush, Granny Rattlebones, Tommy Longfingers, Jack-under-the-Stairs. Many traditional bogeys also guard one particular danger. English water bogeys such as Jenny Greenteeth and Peg Powler kept children away from ponds and riverbanks.

This list of 1,000 names follows those patterns. It mixes titled names, The-something-Man names and night trades like The Midnight Tailor, hiding-place names for closets, cellars and attics, nursery-rhyme names, bogeys of water, woods and winter, modern suburban ones such as The Vent Whisperer, sound names like Knock-Once, grand titles for ancient horrors, and silly ones for young readers such as Bumblegrump. A small share are traditional folk figures, each labelled with the place the tradition comes from, for example El Coco (Spain and Latin America) and Namahage (Akita, Japan).

The invented names are spooky, not gory, so they suit a picture book or a Halloween game as well as a campfire story.

How to choose boogeyman names

  • Decide what your bogeyman guards. A warning needs a place: the well, the cellar steps, the lane after dark. Peg of the Well and The Stepping-Stone Tipper tell the listener exactly where not to go.
  • Choose the title for the tone. Granny, Uncle and Old sound like someone the family knows, which is the unsettling part. A The-something-Man name keeps its distance, and a grand title such as Keeper of the Last Nightlight suits an ancient thing in a campaign.
  • For young readers, pick a name that is fun to say aloud and gives the creature a harmless habit: The Mitten Muncher, The Left-Shoe Borrower, Grumbletoes.
  • Test the name in a parent's warning: "Go to sleep, or Old Hush will hear you." If it sounds right in that sentence, it will work in the story.
  • If you borrow a traditional figure, keep it in its own tradition. The labelled names carry a country or region so you can read up on the folklore before you use it.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a boogeyman?

Folk-style names work best: a homely title plus a sound, a body part or a hiding place. Try Old Hush, Granny Rattlebones, Mister Keyhole, Uncle Knock-Knock, The Button Man or Jack-under-the-Stairs. For something stranger, use a place name like The Thing in the Laundry Chute or a sound name like Creak-and-Wait.

Is it spelled boogeyman or bogeyman?

Both are in use. Bogeyman is the usual British spelling and boogeyman the common American one, and you will also see bogyman and boogieman. Older English relatives of the word include bogey, bogle and boggart.

Are these names from real folklore?

Most are invented names written in the folk pattern. The entries with a place in parentheses are traditional figures, such as Black Annis (Leicestershire, England), Babau (Italy) and Krampus (Alpine Austria and Bavaria). The label says where the tradition comes from, so you can look the figure up before you use it.

Can I use these names in a children's story?

Yes. The list stays spooky without gore, and one whole style is written for young readers: Bumblegrump, Sir Snugglefang, The Dust-Bunny King and The Sock Snatcher are bogeys a picture book can laugh at. The eerier names, such as The Shepherd of Small Hours, suit older readers and tabletop campaigns.
