WWW.SHROUDEATER.COM - Vampire Names

About our list of Vampire Names:

Hullo, hullo ! Now what have we got here then ? We are going to try to list each and every name that we have ever found. That is: EVERY NAME that has ever been used to indicate some kind, any kind of vampire. We do not care if the given name is correct, or if the spelling is correct. We don't even care if the difference in name is due to the fact that it comes from a different language. If a non-fiction author is talking about vampires and uses a name that still is not there, then we will add it to our list. Of course we will try to indicate our sources wherever that is possible.

While we are at it, we are also going to list other supernatural creatures that have been suggested to have a connection with vampires. So you may well expect to come across werewolves, corpse-candles, zombies and such. If some non-fiction author has said that there is a vampire connection, then that is good enough for us, no matter if the suggested connection exists or not. On our list we do not make that kind of judgements, all that we do is collect different names. Those, more or less, are the rules. Ok ?

If we will ever find the time, then we also hope to add short descriptions, comments and explanations to all of the names that are on our list. However, we must warn you: please sit down and do not hold your breath waiting for it to happen. For this is something that has no priority whatsoever as far as we are concerned. We will work on the list if and when we can.

Someone recently commented on the fact that there appear to be people out there who have simply copied our list to their own sites. What can I say ? Such things do happen (or so I am told). Like it or not. If you want me to be honest, I think that it is sad if people are so utterly uninspired that they can not even fill up their own home page. Do we have to crucify them for that ? I don't think so. And given the size of the internet, what can you expect ? Anyway, what are we talking about ? At this stage, this is no more than a miserable list of names that is far from finished. I think that you can hardly expect me to get excited or put my legal representatives to work just because some desperately uninspired and uncreative kid has pasted our list on to its own homepage. Let's be positive about it: it means that there are actually people out there who seem to think that this rotten list is good enough to copy it to their own pages. Fame at last !

Perhaps you are wondering what this list is here for. Does it have some kind of purpose ? Well, despite the fact that we have put it online, we have to confess that the list is mainly meant for our own private use. It is a quick reference tool that has come in handy on many occassions. Especially the spelling errors and rare variations have been rather useful whenever we were trying to establish where certain authors had got their (mis)information from. Chances are that this may not seem particularly useful to you. If that is the case, then don't go through the trouble of copying the list: you don't need it.

Needless to say that we welcome further contributions to our list. If you spot some names that we have missed, we will be happy to hear about it. Apart from the name, please give us complete information on where you found it, so we can verify it before we add it to our list. Thank you very much in advance for your help !
