100+ Skeleton Names That Will Tickle Your Punny Bone

Let’s face it, naming a skeleton is silly as all get-out. Nevertheless, it’s hard to resist. Unlike jack o’ lanterns and other, more gruesome Halloween props, skeletons are easily relatable. After all, they’re just like us… only dead and lacking all their soft tissue.

Skeletons also provide ample opportunities for puns – make no bones about it. If you’re trying to figure out what to name your skeleton, you can find lots of inspiration in anatomical terms and corny Halloween wordplay. Or, better yet, you can just search the following list of funny skeleton names for the perfect idea.
