Re: Jezebel?

I love it. I still can't decide whether I would use it or not, but that's more because I like other names more, not because of the connotations. I think it could be used. Any name could have bad connotations for you, and a sweet person with that name could flip it all around.
That said, maybe it's still a bit borderline now (although I personally would probably use it if I liked it enough). It is quite an old-fashioned word now, (I've maybe heard it used twice as an insult, ever, although I do live in a quite secular country). Maybe in a decade or two it will be perfectly usable, and no-one much would have any qualms.
