Hm while that's a sucky character the child wouldn't be named for him.
That really doesn't matter, though. The people your child encounters on a daily basis aren't going to see your intentions; they're just going to see the name. And, like it or not, the name has very ugly connotations for most people.

Never said they wouldn't :). I can't help what others think when they see names, thanks for the opinion though.
Yeah but
while people shouldn't be judged for their names, they are. You may not care that people associate your child's name with a terrible character, but I bet your child will. Try going around for a day introducing yourself as Cruella or Medusa and see how people react.

I'd never use a name I'd hate to be called myself :) [m]
I know a cat named Cruella. For me honestly? I myself wouldn't mind being named Fagin at all, but that's just me personally though I'm starting to like it spelled Faegan better. Though it doesn't sound girly really the more I think of it. I might just use it on an animal or a sim most likely.
ETA: I have to read the book again to see how Fagin is. It's been a long time since I read it *goes and starts to read it*.
