Browse 500 Hotel Transylvania style names. The list opens with character names from the films, such as Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, Dennis, Frank, Murray and Wayne, then moves to new guests and staff built on the same joke, an ordinary family name on a classic monster: Gary the Gargoyle, Aunt Doris the Banshee, Walt and Irene Werewolf, Chef Armand and Uncle Leopold (Poldi).

About Hotel Transylvania names

The main characters of Hotel Transylvania are Dracula, his daughter Mavis, Johnny and Dennis, along with Frank and Eunice, the werewolves Wayne and Wanda and their pup Winnie, Murray the mummy, Griffin the invisible man, Blobby, Vlad and Ericka Van Helsing. The running joke is in the names themselves: the scariest creatures of old movies are called Frank, Wayne, Murray and Eunice, like the neighbors at a backyard barbecue.

The first 31 names in this list, from Dracula to Pedro, are character names from the films and the TV series, given as names only. It is a starting point for fans and not a complete cast list.

Everything after them is new and keeps to that one joke, a plain, slightly dated family name on a classic monster. There are single guests (Gary the Gargoyle), relatives (Aunt Doris the Banshee, Cousin Lyle the Yeti), couples and whole families (Walt and Irene Werewolf, the Kowalski Zombies), litters of pups that share an initial, vampire relatives with grand Old World names and homely pet forms, hotel staff by job, human tourists who wandered in, monster hunters in the Van Helsing mold and oversized pets with dainty names. Nothing here is scary. The worst any of them does is hog the buffet.

How to choose Hotel Transylvania names

  • Start with the most ordinary name you know, the kind stitched on a bowling shirt: Norm, Gladys, Irv, Thelma. Then add the monster. Norm the Yeti is funnier than any spooky name.
  • Relations build a family tree fast. Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Grandpa and Nana in front of the name turn one guest into a whole reunion, as in Uncle Stan the Skeleton and Grandma Ethel the Witch.
  • Give werewolf pups names with the same first letter, the way a big litter gets named in a hurry: Hank, Hazel and Herbie Werewolf.
  • For a vampire, pair a grand old name with the pet form the family really uses. Great-Aunt Wilhelmina (Willa) and Uncle Leopold (Poldi) work that way.
  • For a party, hand out jobs at the front desk. Bellhop Earl, Chef Armand and Lifeguard Doug make easy name tags, and nobody has to wear fangs.

Frequently asked questions

What are the names of the characters in Hotel Transylvania?

The main characters are Dracula, Mavis, Johnny and Dennis, with Frank, Eunice, Wayne, Wanda, Winnie, Murray, Griffin and Blobby among the regulars. The later films add Vlad, Ericka Van Helsing and Abraham Van Helsing. Those names open the list, which gives names only and is not a complete cast record.

Which names are from the films and which are new?

The first 31 entries, from Dracula to Pedro, are character names from the films and the TV series. Every name after that is a new idea in the same style, such as Gary the Gargoyle, the Kowalski Zombies, Bellhop Earl or Professor Cornelius Van Hoorn. The new names are not presented as film characters, and this page is a fan resource with no link to the studio.

What kinds of monsters are in the list?

Most of the new guests are the classic kinds: vampires, werewolves, mummies, skeletons, zombies, witches, yetis, blobs, gargoyles, ghosts, sea monsters and a few invisible guests, with trolls, ogres, goblins, banshees and cyclopes beside them. Each one carries a plain family name, as in Pearl the Mummy or Little Howie Werewolf.

Are these names suitable for young children?

Yes. The list is spooky-silly on purpose and nothing in it is gory or frightening. The pets are called Sprinkles and Tootsie, and the monster hunters are as harmless as Weekend Hunter Phil.
