Medusa = Snake headed woman whose gaze turns you to stone?
Chimera = Mix of lion goat and serpent?
I think names are sort of interesting, demon lords and devil in AD&D had names like Orcus, Demogorgon, Asmodeus, Beelezbub, Geryon, ect. I think these names added something and I think that having a DF monk of Buddhism who uses his enlightenment to kick butt and take treasure is fine with me.

Well, I stated my personal preference about this, and I
partially agree with you. Of course this is different than to discussing about the Buddhist doctrine because now it is, instead, more about personal preferences. In brief I will try to reply better to your post.
