@EmmaGrundyForPM

Please don't give in to temptation.

I once met someone who had a baby called Lilith. Hmm And yes, I did judge them.

As in Frasers ex wife?

I quite like it in a that's nuts kinda way
I once read a book where the main character was called Heaven-Leigh or Heaven-Lee
It was said like Heavenly and I thought it was so cool and decided I'd name my child after her when I had one. I didn't do that😂

EmmaGrundyForPM · 17/03/2021 03:28

@wishywashywoowoo70

exactly. That was the whole joke about her name - it's the name of the female devil and the character lived up to it.

May I present Gomez Morticia and Wednesday aka the idiot sisters 💕

@Pennywithabow

Khaleesi doesn’t mean queen when it comes to naming kids. It means “I am obsessed with Emilia Clarke in a blonde wig”.
Exactly! Grin

I did know someone at university who was generally known as Morticia because of her jet-black hair, very pale skin and extravagantly morbid personality. (Though she wore Docs and paisley and her name was actually Mary...)

If you have a boy you could also call it Gomez.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 17/03/2021 11:55

Lilith is not a biblical name 😑

@swampytiggaa, I was hoping you'd turn up on this thread with your lovely girls

Amdone123 · 17/03/2021 12:22

Those cats are gorgeous. And I'm scared of cats !
Anyway, no to Morticia! But I love Wednesday.

Lilith is not a biblical name

Lilith is a demonic figure. She is first mentioned in Biblical Hebrew in Isaiah 34:14, and later in Late Antiquity in Mandaean Gnosticism mythology and Jewish mythology sources from 500 AD onwards.

Soubriquet · 17/03/2021 12:38

Yup

Lilith was Adams first wife who was rejected because she wasn’t obedient enough

swampytiggaa · 17/03/2021 16:32

Just in case anyone wondered what a Morticia looks like this is the definitive answer.

Don’t let the fluff deceive you she can be very scratchy. Tends to go for my boychild but I have no sympathy because he teases her.

Morticia
Lammergeier · 17/03/2021 17:08

I did consider Lilith and Wednesday and I know a little boy called Mortimer. Morticia was a bit much though.

I did meet a little 2 year old Daenerys at a baby group once. This was before the final series of Game of Thrones aired and the character burninated an entire city of innocent people.

Bumbelinaaa · 20/03/2021 23:55

Letitia or variants instead maybe?

fallfallfall · 21/03/2021 00:00

The Adams family was inspirational OP check it out (if there are any YouTube episodes).
But it’s a no to a name inspired by death, mortician.

willibald · 21/03/2021 00:10

Fuck no.

partyatthepalace · 21/03/2021 02:35

I’d just go the whole hog and call her Mortuary - Morgue for short, or maybe just corpse 💀

coastergirl · 21/03/2021 04:11

@swampytiggaa I'm so pleased you followed my signpost to this thread 😂 Beautiful girls!

alexdgr8 · 21/03/2021 04:25

@Soubriquet

I like Lilith Blush

And she can shorten it to Lily

At least it’s a real name

so is Jezabel. and Rahab.

Lilith is a demonic figure. She is first mentioned in Biblical Hebrew in Isaiah 34:14, and later in Late Antiquity in Mandaean Gnosticism mythology and Jewish mythology sources from 500 AD onwards.

She’s mentioned once, in the Hebrew Bible. The rest is apocryphal. Her myths have been largely re-evaluated and she is quite widely seen as a feminist icon who was demonised by centuries of patriarchy. See also Mary Magdalene, who is never described as a prostitute in the canonical gospels.

I’d assume someone who named their child Lilith was a feminist before I leapt to a judgement Hmm
