All the supplies in the world won't save your brain from the outstretched fingers of zombies — not without a hero to save the day. We think that bun in your oven might be just the gal — or guy — for the job.
If you're a fan of zombie movies or shows like The Walking Dead, you know they usually don't have a happy ending. Almost everybody turns zombie. Grabbing just any old name from a zombie movie won't do. You need the winners who kick zombie tail and live to fight another day. Join us for a screaming run through zombie film history as we help you choose a baby name fit to survive the worst of what the future has in store.
