ArchivesSatanic Baby Names
Salutations!
I'm in the process of compiling a Satanic Baby Name List, which I intend to title: "Name Your Satanic Baby: 666 Baby Names for a New Millennium". My definition of a Satanic baby name is any name consisting of 6 letters. Of course, the modern Satanic baby needs to have a first, middle, and last name each consisting of 6 letters (for obvious reasons).
I've based my compilation on the current, most popular baby names of the 1990s, with the authority being a 5% sampling of Social Security card applications with dates of birth from January 1990 through August 1999 (which can be found at the Social Security Administration's website). But I have slightly revised these popular names to make them consist of 6 letters each.
Therefore, the Satanic equivalent of, say, the name "Jennifer", would be "Jenifa". The Satanic equivalent of "Ian" would be "Eahann". Get it?
I think that my "Name Your Satanic Baby: 666 Baby Names for a New Millennium" will prove to be of great value to Satanic parents searching for just the right creative -- yet Satanically evocative -- name for their new baby. We've come a long way since Rosemary's Baby.
I'm here to find out if anyone has ever undertaken a project such as this one before. I figure that if anyone has, then certainly people here would have heard about it. Thanks for your help! :)

my name is Emel what would be the satanic verse of it?

how about christ. that has 6 letters.

Considering that the word "Christ" comes from the Greek word "Christos" and literally means "annointed", the name could conceivably be applied to any person with a fondness for the Greek language (Hiya, Pavlos!) who has been annointed into the priesthood of any particular religion. But I imagine there would be quite a few vocal objections to seeing the name "Christ" on a Satanic Baby Names list -- from both Christians *and* Satanists. Surely, Arlene (hmm... nice name!), you're not seriously suggesting I include that name on my list? ;)
I do like the names "Krista" and "Krysta", though.

Actually Christos in Greek is spelled with six letters: Xpistos. And so is Jesus: Ihsous. I'm afraid this kinda
weakens this definition of satanic names :p

Fence with me, willya?
Actually Christos in Greek is spelled with six letters: Xpistos.
@@@@ Um... Wanna count those letters again, Pavlos? ;)
And so is Jesus: Ihsous.
@@@@ Well, the Hellenized (Heheh. I like that word, "Hell-enized") form certainly is. And so it would seem also for the Hebrew form: "Yeshua". EXCEPT, the actual Hebrew word for "Yeshua" consists of only 4 (!) Hebrew letters: yod, shin, vav, and ayin. And a 4-letter name cannot truly be considered Satanic under my system. So there.
I'm afraid this kinda
weakens this definition of satanic names :p
@@@@ Not at all. ;P It merely illustrates the fact that every baby name list ever compiled is bound to have a few unpopular names. Like the name "Bertha", for instance, which is certainly Satanic but by no means attractive enough to give to a baby girl -- Satanic or otherwise -- in this day and age. Same goes for the name "Ihsous" -- which I don't think has much popularity with Christian parents, either, in the Western Hemisphere. I dunno... Do Hell-enics (hee-hee!) commonly give the name "Ihsous" to their baby boys?

Oops my absent-mindedness got me on the first part hehe. Actually we Hellenes never use Jesus as a first name.
As far as I know, Jesus is commonly used as a first name in Latin America. Might amuse you to know that my
ISP HOL (Hellas on Line) is commonly referred to by itys distraught users (including myself) "Hell on Line".
Believe me its not a blessing in disguise :P
P.S.: Isnt Satanism a 100% intergral part of the JudeoChristian tradition? I personally seek my own transcendental
jollies in pre-christian Hellenism and the Orphic tradition...but I digress.

@@@@ Not by any means. To quote Satanist Matthew G. Paradise: "We take the name Satan in concept only, and one boldly and unrepentantly defined by us... The archetype itself, by whatever name is appropriate, is far older than [Christ]tianity or Judaism, and it was these religions that, in order to gain a foothold in the world, decided to destroy and bastardize the 'pagan gods.' Satan has generally been the character who has challenged sterile thought, encouraged indulgence, rebelled against slavery, and truly represented human nature and all that the mundane world offers. By extension, instead of worshiping Satan, we emulate him."

Ill check out the site :) As far as the Hellenic tradition is concerned, demons were spirits and not a priori evil.
As a matter of fact, Eosforos (Lucifer, in Latin) means "bearer of light", i.e. knowledge and wisdom. The Hellenic
concept of Hell (pun not intended!) is Hades, from "Ha" (not-) "dei" (to see). Hell means not being able to see,
being blinded by ignorance and/or oblivion. Hence the Hellenic ("pagan" if you will) notions of
"Eosforos/Lucifer" and "hell" are incompatible and mutually exclusive. This is why I'm kinda weary of by
modern-day "satanists" who justify their raison d'etre from the all-too-human human wrongs of applied
judeochristianity. But what do I know, I'm just a poor Greek boy :p

Lucifer, Superstar
As you said, the name "Lucifer" does mean "bearer of light", but I believe the use of this name in the Book of Isaiah was a reference not to "light" as in the sense of "enlightenment", but rather to the actual physical light borne by the Morning Star -- the planet Venus, one of the brightest celestial objects often seen at dawn. The actual Hebrew word originally used for Lucifer in the book of Isaiah is "Heylel" (which, btw, makes a great Satanic name). It was the Greek Septuagint Bible which translated this word "Heylel" (meaning brightness, morning star) into the "Eosforos" you mentioned (literally meaning "bringer of the morning", I believe), and then "Eosforos" was translated to "Lucifer" ("bringer of light") in the Latin Vulgate Bible. Personally, I prefer that the name of Lucifer be associated with the bringing of enlightenment to mankind, but I don't believe this was the intention of the people who originally penned the Bible -- who viewed Lucifer as the bright "star" of his time who fell from grace through an excess of pride.
Interestingly, Jesus is also referred to as "The Morning Star" in the Book of Revelations, thus supporting the pagan contention of how early Christianity actively set out to displace the old gods in the collective consciousness of the common folk.

I think in the final analysis we agree on the basic life stance. I just opt to totally circumvent the entire JudeoChristian trip.
Enjoy decorating yer upside-down tree :)))
PS. Cool anagrams of JudeoChristian:
Hot acids injure
Hoard injustice
It injured chaos
Drains hot juice
Cretinous Hadji
Juiciest hardron

@@@@ Well, not having been raised a Christian, I have no personal axe to grind against Christianity. It's been my experience that the ones who make the biggest deal out of so-called "Black Mass" rituals and "Satan as the Anti-Christ" themes happen to be disaffected (and somewhat bitter) former Christians, themselves, who have "defected" from their flock to join "the other side". Satanism is more a philosophy, as I see it, than an actual religion -- and not necessarily the flip side of any JudeoChristian coin. If JudeoChristian values appear to come up frequently in Satanic discussions, it is only because here in the U.S. we happen to live in a JudeoChristian culture.

Something to do with the island of Crete, I presume? Do tell! :)
Oh yeah, and one more reason (I'd forgotten to mention) for why I'm a Satanist. It amuses me when it pisses off people like Anonymous Amy here. ;)

I like your format, so here goes:
"Something to do with the island of Crete, I presume? Do tell! :)"
@@@ Nope, nothing to do with Crete :) It is actually quite delicious:
To quote dictionary.com:
Cre·tin (krtn) n. 1. A person afflicted with cretinism. 2.Offensive Slang. An idiot.
[French cre'tin, from French dialectal deformed and mentally retarded person, from Vulgar Latin *christinus,
Christian, human being, poor fellow, from Latin Chrstinus, Christian; see Christian.]
"Oh yeah, and one more reason (I'd forgotten to mention) for why I'm a Satanist. It amuses me when it
pisses off people like Anonymous Amy here. ;) "
@@@ I catch your drift. I often make it a hobby to disequilibrate Amy-types. Next time I see one
in the bus I'll give him/her the horned version of the "live-long and prosper" finger salute
(whatever it is called!) :P

The last bit of that definition was amusingly evil. No wonder I like you. :)
Can't say the same for Amy, though. I'm afraid "Muskrat Love" rocks harder than Amy. ;)

Maybe we should lock her in a room and have her listen to Current 93 (stuff I used to listen back in the 80s which you might have also been keen on) for a couple of hours.

Satanic Father Names
Being a father of a 6 month daughter who is an angel at day but features retractable horns
at nighttime, I sometimes invoke Cronus, the pre-Olympian god who swallowed all his children.
Incidentally, Cronus has six letters.

Most ambitious. And considering that nearly all babies can be considered Satanic if they wake up between midnight and 5 AM, you've got a potentially large and receptive audience (customer base?).
I've not heard of anyone trying this before. Altho there's at least one Goth baby name site out there, it's not strictly formulaic (but you've gotta admit "Winter Despair" borders on being a Satanic-esque name). Good luck to you.
(See, Che? I KNEW I should have invoked Priapus...)

@@@@ Thank you!
And considering that nearly all babies can be considered Satanic if they wake up between midnight and 5 AM, you've got a potentially large and receptive audience (customer base?).
@@@@ Well, that's provided people still intend to have a second or third child, after having first had the experience of dealing with a "Satanic" baby at 2 in the morning. :)

@@@@ I dunno... Those Goth names sound more appropriate for cats than for babies. Maybe even Gothic cats. See, just about any popular baby name can be "Satanic", as long as it consists of six letters. The Satanic element isn't supposed to be smack-in-your-face obvious. That's what makes it all so subtly occult. The name "Melvin", for example, is a Satanic name, but who would notice? The first and middle names of "George Walker" are *extremely* Satanic. I'm only waiting now for some clever genealogist to discover that the family name of a certain governor from Texas was originally "Busche" several generations back... ;)

i don't like the satanic names it is very offending

Well, Amy, you strike me as the sort of person who probably finds a lot of things personally offensive.
BTW, the meaning of the name "Veronica" is debatable, and Daividh was not incorrect in the answer he gave. Some scholars claim that the name comes from the Greek, meaning "bringing victory" -- and others claim it's from the Latin, meaning "true image".
Daividh has been around here quite a bit longer than you have, so I think I'll go by his answer. Plus, he's got better manners.

who would honestly want to name their baby in a satanic form?!?!?
1
My name means evil, and as a tradition I named my son Hadrian. He is no worse off than anyone else, and I am sure some people find it offensive to give babys a biblical name. So, to each his own, and as long as I am not buying pampers for the baby I could care less if his name was lucifer damian, jesus christ, bastard-o, or john. So, if someone wants to name their baby after satan, what does it matter?
