Ammutseba- Devourer of Stars. Appears as a diseased, women shaped black hole.

Aphoom-Zhah- The Cold Flame.

Arwassa- The Silent Shouter on the Hill. A humanoid torso with tentacles instead of limbs, and a short neck ending in a toothless, featureless mouth.

Atlach-Nacha- The Spider God.

Azathoth.

Chaugnar Faugn- Horror from the Hills.

Cthugha- The Living Flame. The Burning One. Appears as a living conflagration.

Cthulhu- The Sleeping God, Master of R’lyeh. A gigantic, bat-winged, octopus-headed humanoid.

Cthylla- Secret Daughter of Cthulhu. Appears as a huge, winged, octopus-like creature with six eyes.

Cyäegha- The Destroying Eye. Appears as a gigantic black mass of tentacles with a single green eye at the centre.

I think my husband has a great name, but I can’t write it here. In Israel you probably hear it all of the time anyway.

I also like: Cher, Chanel, and Farrah.

Wolfgang has always interested me. It seems like naming a child that predestines them to succeed in some artistic field. There is Mozart, Puck and Van Halen. The interior designer for one of our company’s hotels was a true artist in his field.

Picabo Street.
And.. When I pulled up Wikipedia to make sure I was spelling it correctly, the article of the day was about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Coincidennnnce? Probably.
@macbean I get “Yitzhak Rabin” stuck in my head at least once a month. Thanks for this month’s reminder.

Oh, and Slobadan Milosevic!!!

@zen, ever notice that conductors and classical musicians generally tend to have cool names?

^ Cuz they be cool.

I was just reading a bit about Machete (which I’m really freakin’ looking forward to) and I was reminded of Robert Rodriguez’s kids’ names. I’m not sure if I love them or if they make me want to punch him in the forehead. They’re Rocket, Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon Rodriguez.
