Death Row Inmates and Serial Killers

As annoying as the name Makenzeye is, naming your child after a serial killer is twice as dangerous. Many famous serial killers of the past have fallen by the wayside and are thus less familiar to parents of the next generation. As a result - and for your child's own protection - this list of the most well-known killers and infamous murderers is provided for you to avoid, both in name and otherwise.

Erzebet (Elizabeth) Bathory: The female record holder of murders.

David Berkowitz: AKA Son of Sam.

Albert DeSalvo: Allegedly the Boston Strangler.

Ted Bundy: Serial killer from the western states with the most made-for-TV movies produced about his travails.

Jeffrey Dahmer: Preferred meat.

Ed Gein: Inspired elements of The Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Earle Nelson: AKA the Gorilla Man.

Harold Frederick Shipman: Convicted of at least fifteen murders, though allegedly responsible for nearly fifty times that many.
