Really any mythology involving children who are part demon/part human interests me; particularly with a demon father and a mortal mother. Any websites/books with such stories and the names would be very helpful. Looking for names to use in a script. Thanks!

Gilgamesh was supposedly one such creature and in the book: "Readings In Ancient History" by Nels M. Bailkey, there is mention of his mother.

The Biblical texts give no details.

One way is to find an English copy of the 'Midrash Tanchumi.' It is a collection of Rabbinical legends associated with the Pentateuch. Also, if you can find an English collection of stories from the Talmud you might find something.

I know the Rabbis said that Og, king of Bashan, was a giant who was born of one of these women. But that is all I can recall.

I don't remember ever seeing in the Church Fathers a reference to this subject in detail. However, if you look those indices of their works of maybe online you might find something. Yes, they touch on the matter of Nephalim and giants but not too much.

But, the Jewish sources will be the most promising.

According to the scripture called The Book of Noah that is located within the Book of Enoch, Noah was one, his father's name was Lamech, I can't remember if it gave his mother's name or not. See www.sacred-texts.com, click on bible from the left hand column, go to the Book of Enoch and then to Fragment of the Book of Noah. Now, whether or not he was actually half demon I guess depends on your relgious beleifs.

On this same website is many Jewish texts, and under Gnosticism there is a source called the Book of Giants that has alot of information.

The Anakim were one race of Nephilim mentioned in the Bible. The thing is, all of the Nephilim were destroyed in the flood. One reason God chose Noah was that Noah had no Nephilim in his ancestry. The Bible says he was perfect in all his generations. After the flood, we were back to being a world of created mankind instead of a mixture of angels and mankind.

You're not going to find that stuff in any standard Bible. Try angel lore or Jewish traditional lore, maybe some of the Apocryphal books of the Bible. Sorry I don't know any offhand, but I can tell you you won't find anything useful in the Bible.
