Brainstorming death kid names

So I am writing this Percy Jackson fic, taking place circa 2013, and it follows the misadventures of freshly 14-year-old Dylan Roswell-Waters. One of the major parts of his life are his siblings through his godly parent, Thanatos. As of right now all I have is Emmeline Torres, the Thanatos head counselor whose death kicks off the plot.

Other than the two mentioned above, I have absolutely NO IDEAS of what to name these kids. I need ideas for four death kids, gender doesn’t matter.

If it helps, here’s Thanatos’s domain: non-violent, peaceful death.

Name ideas: Poppy (symbolized rebirth), Edgar and or Allan

[name_m]River[/name_m], [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_m]Lane[/name_m], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Chance[/name_m], [name_m]Malachite[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], [name_m]Colt[/name_m], [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

i can’t think of any names off the top of my head that are more subtly associated with death, but here are some names with death-related meanings…
[name_m]Azrael[/name_m] / [name_m]Azriel[/name_m]
Libitina
[name_f]Morana[/name_f]
[name_m]Mortimer[/name_m]
[name_f]Tisiphone[/name_f] (maybe too tied to the Greek mythology character for a [name_m]Percy[/name_m] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] fic)

other ones that might fit… (these are almost all poisonous plants lol :sweat_smile: i wasn’t sure what else to do, but i don’t know if that works well with non-violent death)
[name_f]Belladonna[/name_f]
[name_f]Dolores[/name_f] (meaning sorrows)
[name_f]Foxglove[/name_f]
[name_m]Hemlock[/name_m]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (like poison ivy?)
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Narcissa[/name_f] / [name_f]Narcisse[/name_f]
Nightshade
[name_m]Oleander[/name_m]
