This name gives me fantastic retro Santanic-cult-in-a-quaint-little-town vibes, like something from a Hammer horror film.

Of your combos, I enjoy:

Azazel Ambrose

Azazel Barnabas / Barnaby

I think it's an ugly name because it sounds childish and its meaning is not really beautiful...
But it could be cool and interesting for a fictional villain with the power of hypnosis, maybe a satire (because satires had goat legs). Your combos are all great.

Azazel is a cool namee! Other names you might like: Azrael, Sariel, Raziel, Sachiel, Zazel, or Rosier.

I would use a common middle name tho - in case your kid wants something more average. Something short too - it's a bit of a mouthful if you pick Azazel Frederick or something.

The meaning is evil / demon, one linked to Yom Kippur in Jewish tradition. Just make sure you understand the namesake before you pick it just for the sound! If you not Jewish, you might want to do some more research - this is kinda like naming a kiddo Satan or Lucifer.

Thanks for your response! I'm familiar with its role in Jewish tradition, and I'm not naming any children.
