Hi Heather
We don't go for Halloween in a big way in New Zealand, although the
suppliers of costumes and goodies are trying hard to change that <VBG>
I can't resist the chance to suggest puppy names, however

Bewitched / Bewitching   (pet name Tabitha, Endorra, Samantha etc)
Jack o' Lantern
(The) Warlord
Halloween's Treat
Samhain
Feralia
All Hallows

Some excerpts from the following website
http://www.geocities.com/area51/corridor/9316/origins.html
 to explain some of the names
<<All Hallows Eve is observed the night of October 31, followed on November
1 by All Hallows Day, also called All Hallowmas, All Saints' Day and All
Soul's Day. The ancient Celts called the festival Samhain (pronounced sow'
an) and observed it to celebrate the onset of winter and the beginning of
the Celtic New Year; "samhain" means "end of summer." In Ireland the
festival was known as Samhein, or La Samon, the Feast of the Sun. In
Scotland, the celebration was known as Hallowe'en. Samhain was a solar
festival marked by sacred fire and fire rituals. During the height of the
Druids, the priestly caste of the Celts, all fires except those of the
Druids were extinguished on Samhain
The Romans observed the holiday of Feralia, intended to give rest and peace
to the departed.>>
