name for a corrupted half-angel
How does "Lykos" sound? I find it a little bit dull personally but I also cannot help myself but using it as name of one of the major characters in my story. Probably it's because i don't have a better idea. Do you have ideas for Lucifer's half angel son, angelic look but with dark instincts? Oh, also he will be a love interest of my MC :)

There is no such thing. Angels are angelic and humans are human. But in theory, no, your choice is too obviously derivative of Loki. Not amusing.

It's villainous enough, sure. A similar name that would work very well is Lysander - from elements meaning "a release" and "man". So freedom + man? Works for a half-angel.

Lykos makes me think of dogs (although it's meaning is wolf). I do like it however!Avenel - Medieval name. Might be derived from the word Old Saxon word Avo: 'power'.
Cadmiel "Cad"
Dashiell (dee-ehl)
Hadrian / Hadriel (reminds me of Hades)
Idalion (the city of Idalion on Cyprus was a center of Aphrodite's cult)
Kiel (key-el)
Lancel (I like that it starts with the same letter as his father's name)
Lyon (lee-ohn)
Riddick
Sadiel (similar to sadist)
Xaviel (this spelling)

Depends if you want to go off pattern. Every name ever credited to an angel has the element el in it: Samael, Gabriel, Michael Uriel, Zaskiel, etc. But perhaps a nephilim should break the pattern, if it were me - and the other parent is human - would just select the most popular name of the era he was born. Its a bit more interesting to call him Jason, for instance, than give him a name designed for a bad guy.
