Re: Lucifer.
in reply to a message by Siri
It's tragic, really, that this name has become so unusable; I agree that it has a beautiful sound and wonderful meaning. As an atheist, the association with Satan doesn't hold much sway with me personally, but I still wouldn't use Lucifer because of the trouble it would undoubtably cause its bearer. I've never lived anywhere but the US, but I doubt you could get away with it in any other countries either. For now I'm content with Lucius, which I love anyway. Perhaps you could use it or Lucian instead of Lucifer. Similar meanings and sounds, but without the devil connotations.
