Who says bones can’t be funny? In the spirit of keeping Halloween fun with some light-heartedness, we’ve curated an incredible list of 250 punny skeleton names that you’ll absolutely love.

Plastic Skeleton: A Fun Family Tradition

One of the best decisions our family made was investing in a plastic skeleton to use as a Halloween decoration. They’re not just for medical school classrooms- they’re a fun Halloween family tradition!

I’ve always wanted one and could think of about a million ways to use one in decorations and Halloween activities. They store nicely, and they’re just so fun to use during spooky season!

If you’re in the market for one (or another one!), here are our favorite places to buy a plastic skeleton.

Our skeleton quickly became a funny and harmless way to prank each other. Our family loves to move the skeleton around the house and pose the skeleton doing daily tasks like climbing in bed, working at a desk, or finding a snack in the pantry.

It’s been a fun way to get some good laughs with the occasional tiny jump scare. These skeleton games last all Halloween season, and they’ve created the best family memories!

Good Skeleton Name

Pretty quickly, we realized we needed a good name to call our skeleton friend, and we started throwing out skeleton puns. There’s something about funny names and skeleton characters that brings out the best kind of creativity! We’ve leaned into the bone-related puns, wordplay, some pop culture references, skeletal characters, and a touch of humor to help you name your bony buddy.

I started compiling a list, and you can see where this post is going…we came up with a skeleton name generator with the best skeleton names to help you choose the perfect one for your family!

Whether you’re preparing for a spooky Halloween gathering, teaching an anatomy class, or simply want to add a chuckle to your day, these names are sure to make you smile. Let’s dive in and assess these humerus—excuse us, humorous—names that will bring a grin to your face and maybe even inspire you to come up with a few puns of your own!

And if you’re curious, our Disneyland trip loving family named our skeleton Indiana Bones. And I feel like he needs a leather jacket and hat for sure!
