I have no idea where this was best to post, but it has to do with a story so fuck it.

For plot purposes I need to create a religion, the only problem is that I suck at naming things. The primary object of worship is Lilith, Adam's first wife. I've heard of wiccans, satanists, pagans, etc worshiping Lilith up to a point. But I need a new religion as a whole. Could somebody help me out and throw out some potential names for the faith, I got nothing.

Alright, fair enough. The religion arose after an incident involving a previously undiscovered moon (named lilith in [homage?] to Dr. Georg Waltemath and Walter Gornold). This incident causes...bad things to happen physically and politically. The people fall into a sort of anarchy. The religion was created by a bunch of wackos as a power-grab attempt. As for tenets, haven't really thought it through. The MC only really deals with corrupt low-tier clergy. These guys abuse their power the way everybody in history has abused it, by raping, murdering, and pillaging everything in their path in the name of ________. Relationships to other religions? Hostile. Rituals? umm...spilling the blood of female non-believers will work. No bias.

Right, so anyone feel free to correct me if I've got this wrong.

Lilith was created at the same time as Adam, to be his wife. But when she wanted to equals, Adam got seriously pissed off and told her to shut her whore mouth. She told him to piss off and left Eden, and Adam bitched at God for a new wife, so God made Eve from his rib specifically to be subservient to him,

An old legend that says God created Lilith as Adam's wife before Eve. However, Lilith wanted to be man's equal and not be submissive. So, God drove her out of Eden and I forget what happens there. You can Google it and find out a lot more. Then God made Eve for Adam and you know what happened from there.

>No, seriously. A mysterious new moon? A figure named Lilith? You can't pretend you're not drawing your inspiration from that

The moon is called Lilith. Have some delicious wiki-style copy pasta;

>Dr. Georg Waltemath searched for secondary moons based on the hypothesis that something was affecting the Moon's orbit.[8] In 1898, Hamburg scientist Dr. Georg Waltemath announced he had located a second moon[9] inside a system of tiny moons orbiting the Earth.[10] Waltemeth is reported as saying, "Sometimes, it shines at night like the sun but only for an hour or so."[8][11]

>In 1918, astrologer Walter Gornold, also known as Sepharial, claimed to have confirmed the existence of Waltemath's moon. He named it Lilith. Sepharial claimed that Lilith was a 'dark' moon invisible for most of the time but claimed to have viewed it as it crossed the sun.

This was inspiration. The idea the Earth may have another moon, was appealing. In Eva, Lilith is creature. In my story, Lilith is a moon.

There is no creature in my story. There is nothing really extraordinary about my moon; its a chunk of rock, floating in space. The only thing that makes it even worthy of some notice, is the fact that once it eclipsed the sun it stopped moving (relative to the Earth).

Regardless, your choice of imagery is stale, and you know what Eva is, so the influence is undeniable. You ought to choose different symbolism or else be prepared to be dismissed out of hand.

Correlation does not imply causation. The simple coincidence of an object called Lilith in both Eva and my own story is hardly proof of influence. As for imagery and symbolism, I've stated in a previous post that all this nonsense plays a small part in the big picture. To try and debate this any farther is proof enough to me that you are merely trolling.
