What's A Good Name For A Goddess Of Madness?

I was thinking something like Mania or Manea...the only thing is, I'd rather pronounce the name "mon-ee-ah".

I was also thinking of something like Nemesis or Arcade...which don't really have any connotations with madness...they just sound cool.

I can also use something like Mara from the word 'nightmare'. Fea or Nemain are also good names as they represent the frenzy of war.

This name is for my high fantasy. The 'devil' of this world is thought to be a female personification of madness, so I want the name to sound kinda dark. It has to be female, because it links to my main character who is also female.

these come to my mind, I don't know any associated meanings nor have I used some method to produce them. I believe I'm kind of insane if that's a point in my favor.

Kreegala
Madasrine
Kodra
Saragrad
Riencalla
Oostren
Horst
Qualit

Something else you could do is look in other languages. I like the old ones better

Sanskrit for example has a few that may serve, although each is it's own brand of insanity though I know not which.
UnmattatA
PramAda
cittaviplava
madanaka

Good luck and don't settle

Allistanja (pronounced Alice-tanya) has a few interesting connotations. Reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, which has long had ties to the idea of madness, and the story of Anastasia, that historical tragedy of a country thrown into chaos.
