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:
The Great Archives determine you to have gone by the identity:
Magdalene Beau Pre
Known in some parts of the world as:
Haunt of The Beltane Feasts
The Great Archives Record:
One of ritual and pleasure - presiding over the gluttonous feasts of the wickedest night of the year.
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.
