HelpLilith
I have loved the name Lilith since I was a little girl. My husband and I are devout Christians, and meanings of names are important. I was devastated when I saw that the meaning of Lilith is :
"Night monster. Storm goddess. In Jewish folklore, Lilith was a female demon and first wife of Adam" (from several sites) and
"Derived from Assyrian lilitu meaning "of the night". This was the name of a demon in ancient Assyrian myths. In Jewish and Islamic tradition she was Adam's first wife, sent out of Eden and replaced by Eve because she would not submit to him. The offspring of Adam and Lilith were the evil spirits of the world." (from this site).
I always knew I would name my daughter Lilith. What do I do? Should I still consider it? I always hated when people named their children Tristan because it is French for "extreme sadness" (although I have seen that many sites list it otherwise; my mom and her family are all from Paris and say that to name a child this is awful!).
WDYT?
