Her name was synonymous with the word "death." For example, the name Earnesta means ‘steadfastness, battle to the death’. The apple had been partially responsible for Eve's expulsion from paradise, remember, so this may have been one reason that God disdained Cain's offering. Popularized by actress Thora Birch of American Beauty and Ghost World fame, this name (which means "thunder goddess," and which is derived from the name of the male Norse god of Thunder, Thor) may refer to a violent phenomenon, but it's a wonderful nature-inspired moniker, nonetheless. Some of these names are odd, some are interesting, and some are dark, but all are worth taking the time to ponder. & Contact Info,
