I like vrah kosa or cepel vrah.

One word, I like vrah better than kosa.

I completely change my vote from kosa now that I know that you were looking for a type of magician not a name.  As for names of personal people, I am almost tired of fantasy writers thinking they NEED to think up their own names.  I mean being creative is important, but often i think it is over done.  Why can't a person be named Adam, or David, or William, most names were around in the time periods where most fantasies take place.  I prefer to mix both created names and real ones.  I think it would be a neat effect.

Vrah sounds like some kind of kickass omnipotent destroyer god, so I choose dat one. Perhaps the god part is my mental association with the Egyptian Ra (or is it Rah?).

I liked vrah and kosa, but I agree the rest are pretty odd.

I think Parker decided this months and months ago.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Coming up on a year soon, actually. Well--10 months, at least. :-)

Er, what was your final decision on this, anyway? Just curious.
