The right combination of vowels and consonants, the felicitous collusion of sound and sense, will take you far. Who would have delicious shivers of fright or anticipation over a vampire named Morton? Or, let's say, Prudence? If Dracula had gone by the sobriquet of Steve, Custodian of Terror, would he have struck anything but mild derision in the hearts of readers and moviegoers everywhere? I don't think so.
Juliet was most mistaken. A rose by any other name would NOT smell as sweet, nor would a misnamed thorn prick so sharply. A proper vampire needs an appropriately unsettling name. If you're having trouble choosing between Spike, Lord of Coagulation and Terrence of the Bloody Torrents, there is aid in your hour of need. Some macabre soul with too much time on their hands has created a website dedicated to providing appropriate vampire names.
In the spirit of inquiry and iniquity, I have pioneered the enterprise. Never say I'll send my acolytes where I have not ventured myself. My fiendish epithet is below:

Of course, the devil is in the details, and presentation is everything. Words are always open to interpretation, and the ability to spin, when necessary, will take you far in life (look what it's done for the tobacco companies).
So, if my mother were to ask, I've decided that MY vampire name means that I'm a generous, gracious host who loves to entertain.
Followers, find your vampire name here, post it in the comments below, and give your spin.

My name seems to be a little bit more noticeable if set in modern times. It would seem that, in my opinion, I am unfeeling about who I feed on.

This indicates that I am perpetually hungry, more so than the typical vampire, determined to destroy and consume at every opportunity. I blend in with the lower classes, likely because if a beggar goes missing, no one will notice nor care.

I live among the rejects of society. My physical attractiveness makes them comfortable with me, enabling me to impart my wisdom among them, wisdom that spreads to all of them like wind blowing across a field of grass.
Oh--good spin.

The Great Archives Record:
Comes on silent wings in the night and wraps a deadly cloak about the victim; impartial as a die, unyielding as stone.
My name is Samuel Brown and I'm from America. I died in 1776 fighting in the Revolutionary war. I am very ambitous and I get the job done. Since becoming a vampire I have made a name for myself in the vampire world and I don't mingle very long with humans. I get in and I get out. I come frome the sky as the "devil of the winged death" and I swarm my prey (the human) and he/she doesn't suspect a thing until it is to late. I am impartial as a dye and unyielding as a stone. This means that I am impartial to all humans and do not give them any sympathy they are only food. I am unyield as a stone this means once I set my sights on something, it will be achieved and nothing will get in my way.

I am the ghost of the rats because by the time the body is found, the rats have already eaten everything, leaving no evidence. I like to think that I am clever if not a bit impulsive. I hide in the shadows so you wont see me until I want you to.
