It doesn’t appear a single time in the Bible. There’s only one name in the Bible that’s even close. Here is the one time a name even close to “Azrael” appears in the Bible.
[quote]Chronicles 25:18 New International Version (NIV)
18 the eleventh to Azarel[/quote]
But yes, I’m sure people the world over instantly recognize the name the way they would Georgewashington or Ronaldmcdonald…
To me, Azrael is Nightcrawler’s father in the X-Men comics. He even had a role in the Days of Future Past movie
That’s Azazel.
It doesn’t appear once in the Bible. If it does, prove me wrong and quote the Biblical passage where it shows up.
Never heard of it…
You sound confident so you are probably right. Been many years since I read X-Men.
Maybe you should see if that name is available.
It’s also in the Torah and the Koran. 1.8 billion Muslims too.
Trust me. Google “Azazel” and “Nightcrawler.” It’s the first thing that’ll come up. I tried posting the link to his Wiki but I can’t.
Didn’t Gargamel have a cat names Azrael in the smurfs?
Still wouldn’t dream of reporting something like that.
Seems like now you have the added burdeon of proof to demonstrate that devoutness across three faiths and/or traditions includes knowledge of this character.
This is a lot of burdeon for a pretty basic name, and why on maintenance day, RP servers get raided.
you want the name of a pokemon? the lake gaurdian?
I thought Azazel was from Supernatural?
You should see if that name is available. It is close to your original name but not exactly. Kinda like Classic is close to vanilla but not exactly.
I don’t think Azrael is in the canonical bible. He is in the book of Enoch though, which I suppose less Christians would be familiar with. Muslims should know the name very well though.
If one has a word-name, it could be argued as being their character’s nickname or something. Honestly unless someone goes out of their way to intentionally harass you, don’t be a jerk about it. XD I enjoy playing on RP realms because the populace is supposedly more friendly than on other realms.
It’s a dumb name, anyway. Pick another.
Everything from Supernatural is stolen from the Bible or folklore.
I don’t think Dean Winchester is in the Bible. But if he is, I gotta read it now.
Reporting for violating the ToS~
I love the people commenting on here just to be jerks. Get some happiness in your life man geeze.
Hope you get your name, man. Azrael is an awesome name. I had it once on a retail server. (I got it from the SNL skit Goth Talk. Lol)
People that report this name: you must be fun at parties.
