ArchivesRe: Vampire or Evil name
in reply to a message by Rosie
One of my personal favorites is "Lamia" -- from John Keats' poem of 1819. You can read about it here:

The article also makes a comparison between the Lamia and Lilith -- and Lilith is another great name.
You seem to be looking for a feminine name, so here are some Romanian female names taken from *The Melting Pot Book of Baby Names*. As I'm sure you're already aware, Transylvania is an area in the northwest mountains of the country of Romania.
Alina (to soothe)
Brindusa (flower name, crocus)
Ecaterina (pure)
Elica (noble, kind)
Florica (the flower)
Irini (peace)
Lucretia (brings light)
Rada (joy)
Of course, the meanings of these lovely names don't sound quite so ominious or "vampirelike" at first glance. Until one wisely recalls that a vampire's survival in human society is dependant on deception.

Lucretia? Have you ever heard about Lucretia Borgia, the famous (or infamous) poisoner from medieval Italy? And what about Elizabet (?) Batory, a woman who was convicted of a number of rather strange things, including vampirism. You might find a book about her rather bizarre case in the library. :)

I heard that Elizabet Batory had a son wich was bors at six and a half month it was made with her personal executor and this son lived in Bucharest no one could live near him because after six month everybody die. This is an unspoke legend in Bucharest because in comparation with this pure eveil, Conte Dracula looks like a farytail.
The son of Elizabet was evil in the most pure form they did not know what it was exactly man or demon because as i sad no one can live near him. The people from outside the borders of Romani don't know about this story because it was keept seecret from the public by the ortodox church but there are some olders that know the story (the true one) from their grandparents and they are afraid to tell it.

The name "Breanna" is evil. Evil for my country! Not many people in my country call their daughter "Breanna". Not because it is unpopular, everyone likes that name.
In the year 1796 a girl about 26 killed her father and soon after the rest of her family. She soon got really mad, and started to kill everyone who came near her! But then, one day the glass-stained window on the celing fell, she died. They say her house is haunted. People have gone in, but not to many came out. Breanna's house is a maze. You are more likely to die than live!
So the name "Breanna" is evil.

I love my name, which is Lila (pronounced Lyluh- liela- not good at this sorry, just don't call my lilluh, like lily. Lila is a great name that has a dark meaning, connected to names such as Leila, Lilith, and Delilah. All great names too.
Other names to consider are Raven (not sure if I am crazy about this one), Lydia (no dark meaning, just sounds kind of goth); Adriana or Adrienne; Jezebel; Kali; Medea; too many to name...

Yes, I have heard that story. It is a famous Kashubian legend. I understand her house still stands, the notorious "Cucaradomus" (Roach Motel) of northern Poland.
