Title: Naming of Judith
Post by: Joeytrom on December 10, 2002, 02:16:14 AM

Edith may have had some say in the naming as Judith sounds like the female name for Judah....Judah Zachary!

Not sure how much I can buy Edith naming Judith after Judah. Particularly given how he screwed her over.

It's a name with a really interesting biblical antecedent though and some amazing artwork was inspired by the story, which in light of future plot developments and a certain character whose plans are contrary to her interests is kind of interesting.

(Who knows, maybe she does have some of Judah's blood in her.)  ;-)
