Help[Opinions] Lilith
WDYT?
I'm torn by this name...as soon as I heard it, I loved it - it's got a pretty, feminine tone; but it has TERRIBLE connotations!
I'm taking an English class entitled Women of the Bible. Lilith is known as a demon, a rebel. According to some, she is the first wife of Adam but was sent from Eden because she wouldn't be submissive. In myth, she killed women in childbirth and newborn babies. There really isn't much hard evidence of her in the Bible, in fact she's not mentioned by name in the King James version, and I haven't checked in my NIV, but I heard she is mentioned there. (I am using an oxford edition with the Apocrypha for class, because I'm not catholic)
Basically, she is an evil creature...but Lilith is such a nice name!!!
