Question: Is it possible to call a Jewish girl Lilith?
Dear Rabbi,
I'd like to ask if it's possible to call a Jewish girl Lilith. Was it practised in the past?
Sincerely, Marc
Answer: Dear Marc,
Lilith is a name that should be strongly avoided. Lilith was a demoness according to Jewish texts.
Best wishes,
