ArchivesHappy Halloween! Scavenger Hunt
Okay, if anyone wants to join in, here's how it works. Go to the Search feature on the main page of this site www.behindthename.com
Using the Search feature or just perusing through the names database, find a name which could have some connection to Halloween, either because it means something spooky or because it belongs to a person (either real or fictional) of a spooky nature.
REMEMBER! Use ONLY names from the BtN database. Post the name you've found under my own posting for "Hecate", so we have a Halloween name-chain. :)

HECATE (f) In Greek mythology Hecate was a goddess associated with witchcraft, tombs, demons and the underworld
CHANDRA (f,m)This is also the name of a demon in Hindu legends.
LILITH (f) "of the night" from Assyrian lilitu. 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.
