Help[Opinions] Re: Jezebel
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
Awful. Murder, human sacrifices, and religious persecution aren't great things to be associated with. It isn't in good taste to use a child's name to make light of people who are most famous for acts of cruelty. Think of other people who are famous for acts of cruelty like Genghis Khan, Heinrich Himmler or Saddam Hussein, and then imagine someone wanting to name someone after one of them.
If you really just like the name of the sound rather than feeling titillated by the 'bad girl' image, then maybe name a cat Jezebel. After she died from a fall (she was pushed), her body was eaten by ferral dogs, so it would feel off to name a dog that.

Not really. I’m not personally religious so I don’t equate biblical characters with infamous real life bad guys like Hitler or Hussein..
I doubt most people who used Jezebel did it to name it after the biblical one. I’m sure they, like me, just find it a pretty name.

I think it seems more unlucky to name a cat that than a dog, if I'm being superstitious.
Maybe a pet snake.

Good point about the cat. A snake or perhaps a tarantula or a betta fish named Jezebel could work.
A pot bellied pig named Jezebel would be funny.
