The angel artist here again-- the "name for an angel" that this question refers to is for a specifically transgendered or dual-gendered angelic image. S/he has been rendered as a warrior but the idea I most want to convey is the sense of the sexes united in a single being who is a pure expression of this union on the highest possible level. The sound of the name matters as well-- keeping it as fluid as the parameters of the concept allow. Please feel free to play or to suggest alternative compositions that are based on your sense of the basic idea. Thank you!

Why G-d? The -English- -noun- 'god' is not the explicit -name- of god in -Hebrew-, which is what one is not supposed to pronounce. Writing G-d is rather pretentious.
