Lilith
- There are a lot of legends about this name; that it was the first woman God made (before Eve) who was cast out of the Garden of Eden for not submitting to Adam's desires; and that it was the name of the first female demon or vampire. But I think it's a very strong yet beautiful name, although the "th" at the end can be hard for some people to pronounce. I know, since it's been my nickname for 5 years and a lot of people shorten it to "Lil" when they can't say it!
- I chose the name Lilith because it is Hebrew for "Night Monster" if our child is anything like the other kids in my family the name will fit.
- Lilith Zosia - Lilith is a lovely biblical name that, depending on how you look at it, is strong and capable or defiant & evil. I like the strong & capable feeling. :) I think it's easily spelt as well as pronounced (well, some children lisp, but that goes away!). The meaning "of the night" from Sanskrit is lovely as well, especially if the child is born at night.
Zosia - Is the Polish form of Sophia. A lovely way to honor Polish Great Auntie Sophia while avoiding the über popularity of Sophia (Sophia's #20 for 2003, in the US, Zosia's nowhere on the list!)
