Good name for a Horned Devil (cornugon)

Voadam

Legend
Anybody have suggestions for appropriate sounding names I could use for a horned devil (a general under Belial in my game).

I seem to recall the 1e MM giving them names like dog wretch and so on based on the scene from the Inferno, but I figure those were just insult nicknames and not actual names of the devils there. I'm looking for something a little more exotic of a name that a cultist would call such a powerful devil.

Thanks

Fiendish Codex 2 has a table of a bunch of sample devil names, and has more scattered throughout the book. Tends towards harsh consonant sounds and short syllables. For example, is your cornugon named...
Anurnac?
Dinimabi?
Elamash?
Hursag?
Kulzu?
Sharruk?
Zaburra?

Demiurge out.
 




Belial is a name from Judeo-Christian works on angels. To keep the same feel, you might want to look into some obscure angel or fallen angel names yourself.

This link includes a list of fallen angels that might turn out quite nicely. The list includes Belial, Mephistopheles, Mammon, Moloch, Dagon, etc. and quite a few other very recognizeable (to D&D players) references already.
