ArchivesRe: Can you find a name with this meaning?
in reply to a message by Liz
Closest I can come is the Norse name "Loki", which implies a "trickster". Loki was a Norse trickster god associated with magic and fire.

A couple more...
"Loki" would've been my first choice, too -- and it's a name I'd given to one of my dogs.
"Puck" from Shakespeare's *Midsummer Night's Dream* is another mischief-maker.
And "Teivel" (pronounced "TYE-vel"), which is Yiddish for "devil", is yet another.

There's also "Robin Goodfellow" from (I believe) Shakespeare's *The Tempest* and Anansi, the Spider Trickster of African mythology/folklore.
I'll look up some more if you want. :)
Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
