[center]I love this dragon, but I've had such a hard time with naming her. She's not particularly a social person and she makes a living talking to the dead. I won't go into it too much but I just want a name that's associated with necromancy and death. Something that's not so overused. It could even be historical. (And yes, I love weird sounding names)
Any ideas?[/center]

Neco (or Necare) is "to kill" in Latin
Caedis is murder/slaughter in Latin
Interficere also means "to kill" in Latin
Occidere is "to kill" in Latin
(I took Latin for four years and always got a kick out of how many verbs they had for "kill" XD)

Flairblood When you scroll down
here, there's a table with epithets for the Greek goddess Hekate. I actually stole two which I found there for my dragons. :P
"Eidolios" for instance sounds nice, apparently it can mean "ghostly." But I don't know ancient Greek so I can only trust that website.
I do know Sanskrit though, and some words (not really names per se but you could use them as names) that come to mind are Am?v? (distress, fright, ghost, tormenting spirit), Malinita (wicked, defiled), Ghorarupa (of a frightful appearance), Pretasana (sitting with departed spirits) and Priy?preta (Pretapriy? would work as well - "beloved of departed spirits")
I hope any of that helps!

Libitina - Roman myth name of a goddess of corpses, funerals, and the dead. Her name was synonymous with the word "death."
Banafrit - Egyptian name meaning "beautiful soul."
Fionnghuala - Gaelic name composed of the elements fionn "fair, white" and guala "shoulder," hence "white shoulder." In Irish mythology, this is the name of one of the children of Lir who were turned into swans for 900 years.

"GHOSTRIDER" WOULD BE A REALLY COOL NAME, BUT THEN AGAIN ALL OF MY NAMES ARE CREATED BY NAMING A DRAGON AS IF IT WERE A POKEMON IN THE ORIGINAL GAMES. OTHER SUCH NAMES COULD INCLUDE "DEATHSEMBRACE", "SHADOWSIREN", "SOULBREATHER", AND "HELEN".
...prettier names I have (though they're a bit more simple, which isn't a bad thing) include Malvolia (ill-will), Nerezza (darkness), Sidero (evil nymph), Zilla (shadow/shade/gloom), Lilith (night monster/of the night), and Desdemona (of the devil/unlucky/misery).
Sloane's also a really nice name, but it means "warrior/fighter" rather than death.

If we're going on language names here,
Fantasma-'Ghost' in spanish
Sombra-is also spanish, but it more refers to something that haunts you from your past
Zyanya-means 'forever, always' in Zapotec
Maybe
Nephtys, or (her real name, just not hellenized)
Nebt-Het-The Ancient Egyptian godess of scorpions, associated with air, death and mourning.
Louhi, or
Loviatar=Variants of the finnish death godess.
Chantrea-'Moonlight' in Khmer
Haukea-'White Snow' in Hawaiian
