Does anyone know the ending that would make Deus feminine?
Piffka: I don't know the ending for goddess, but "ette" will suffice if you're looking for Diana, Goddess of the Moon, better known on A2K as Diane.
Medinox - Could that be Midnite?
Wild guesses, both.
This is fun, isn't it?
Yes, and you are so good at this! I hope Diane sees her name. It would be nice to have the ending right.

How about: leoninus (various spellings) (This A2K'r took the name from a true story which was also filmed. )
You got it Fbaezer. Jespah is correct.
Piffka: I do know that "dea" is a Latin word for goddess.

Are you equating "Porta" with a harbor? That's interesting!
