Evil warlock pastor should have a boring name that is unmemorable, because evil is often banal. My vote would be for Joshua, after "Joshua Haldeman" Elon Musk's evil grandfather, who it's tough to say which one is worse him or his grandson.

The name Joshua means ""Yeho", referring to God, and "Yasha," meaning “saves”, but if you reverse it and make his warlock (demon?) name Yasha-Yeho, it would mean the opposite - to Save/Hide from God (though I'd check with someone with better, my ancient Hebrew and well Hebrew in general is rusty).

I love this breakdown of the name and reversing it to mean the opposite. I also like the idea of the name being boring and banal to humans but more threatening to magical people.
