Lilith supposedly caused birth defects and infant death. Not all traditions call her a vampire.

Lilith in mythology may have originally been an actual demon, as far as I can tell, not ever a woman.
Jezebel, Medea, and Delilah seem, to me, more likely to be women whose stories got spun to malign them.

Yeah, I just meant to point out that her legend is associated with real world horrible things...though I feel the opposite of Raven Briar; I'd be more reluctant to use the name of a demon than a name that may be associated with a complicated possibly real person...unless it had an extra negative connotation, like Oedipus (Complex).

"Oedipus (Complex)" is a very funny word combination when you take it out of context.
