Walter -a nice britishy name, it always comes to mind, thanks to the Hellsing manga

Erik -Phantom of the Opera's name.

Roderick -name of a character from Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"

Aleister --Aleister Crowley, the famous occultist

Montague --ghost story writer M.R. James first name

Sheridan --horror writer Joseph Sheridan LeFanu

Karswell -character from M.R. James "Casting the Runes"

Delapore --Lovecraft character from "The Rats in the Walls"

Martense -family name from Lovecraft's "The Lurking Fear"

Hope this helps in some way.

If its a masculine name then: Poe would be great considering that he wrote horror and the whole dark theme thing. If you want something mythological then Hugin or Munin which are the ravens on the shoulders of Odin that he would send out to gather information on the world, they represent thought and memory. If you want a feminine then Morigan can be a good bet as she was the deity that lay on the shoulder of the Celtic hero Cú Chulainn after he died.

Edgar after Edgar Allan Poe

Joe, after Joe Flacco.

Cuddles.
