[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Lilith
in reply to a message by Amy
It's so obvious-goth-kitsch that I LOVE IT.
Lilith has a very good reputation in the New Age community, if that helps at all. She's definitely seen as a figure of female empowerment. At least, that's what she is in the woo-woo circles I run in.
I love Jezebel because it's just a cool name, and honestly I love the bad reputation the character has. When I think about what my grandmother would say if I named a kid Jezebel, it makes me cackle. She can't even handle Charlotte because it's too close to "harlot"! Jessabel is a slightly gentler version I suppose.
Lilith Naomi is pretty. Pairing Naomi with Lilith does tip the name into religious territory, so if you want to avoid the whole Judeo-Christian thing I'd just steer clear of that. Lilith Noemie maybe? Lilith Leonie? Hmmm, purely from an aesthetic standpoint I don't like how Lilith is all tall pointed towers and Naomi is like low rolling hills. I want to pair Lilith with something similarly vertical.
Lilith Yvette!
Lilith Iris. Lilith Irit!
Lilith Juliet
Lilith Lisette
Lilith Odette
Lilith Callista
Lilith Priscilla
Lilith Kristina
Lilith Drusilla
Lilith Ellen
Lilith Fenella

I'm glad to hear of your positive associations with Lilith and Jezebel.
I like Hebrew names, and would want a sibset of Hebrew/Bible heavy combos. I'm not religious, but I was raised religious, and I just love the history and the feel behind the names. You can call it hipster or whatever, using Bible-heavy names, but not being religious lol. It just doesn't bother me.
Lilith Iris and Lilith Kristina are cool. Many of the others are nice, but feel a bit L-heavy for me, sorry.
I was also thinking Lilith Naomi Joy, but Joy doesn't flow with my maiden name.
