Well, I've never seen EVA (well, one episode, but it meant little
to me since I didn't know who anyone was or what was going on -- kinda
goofy, really, this giant battery-powered mecha leaping from aircraft
carrier to aircraft carrier... yes, I now, there's more to EVA than that,
I'm sure, but I haven't seen it yet.) Anyhoo, back on subject...
Here's a little list of demon names I've gleaned out of Milton's
Paradise lost, I don't know if the show's used any of them yet or not.
Also, there's a Hebrew/biblical dictionary on-line somewhere that has a
lot of cool-sounding names/nouns/verbs that could easily be used as well.
Anyway, here's a few:
-Satan (well, duh)
-Beelzebub
(both are Lords of Hell)
Moloch
Chemos
Baal (Baals/Baalim; plur. male) (remember that 'Manos' joke?)
Astarte (Astartes, Ashtaroth; plur. female)
Astoreth (Astarte)
Thammuz (Adonis)
Dagon (Sea-creature; yeah, same guy as in Lovecraft's story)
Rimmon
Osiris, Isis, Orus (Egyptian dieties)
Belial
Azazel (standar-bearer of the legions of Hell)
Mammon (Prince of lowest order of demons
(Aramaic for 'riches')
(ie. Nabiki is a 'daughter of Mammon')
Mulciber (Vulcan/Hephaestus - Architect of Pandemonium)
Why the references to Greek/Roman/Egyptian dieties? My guess is,
that in reconciling earlier 'pagan' mythologies into his christian
ideology, Milton transformed a number of classical figures into
heaven/hell creatures. Thus Hephaestus becoming a hell-dweller; or
Hercules becoming the precursor for Samson becoming a prefiguration of
Jesus in 'Samson Agonistes'. But I'm getting pretentious and it's getting
late, so I'll shut-up now.
Well, hope that helps. I'd offer up some angel names -- although
a lot of them are fairly basic, like Michael, David, Gabriel -- but I
don't have time to research it right now. Hafta write a friggin'
take-home about the Winnipeg General Revolt of '19, and the rise and fall
of the National Progressive Party. And then study for Greek Mythology
exam tommorrow, and I'm still down three tragedies and all of the Iliad
and the Odyssey. Oh, yay. No wonder I'm procrastinating...

use a couple myself for a 'fic I'm working on...)
