I love it. I'd never use it - it's totally not my style - but I think it's great for either sex. It's just exactly like Christian, which I also like. Except for the unfortunate occasional use of Pagan for animals, of course..

I'd never use it, nor would I use Christian. It'd be like someone else naming their kid Uniterianuniversalist or Buddhist :P I have nothing against the religion, it's just naming children after any religion kind of binds them to it.

"Never make someone a priority, who only makes you an option."

I've seen girls and a boy named Pagan, but I don't think it's a good idea. Personally, I wouldn't use Pagan, Christian, or any other religion as a name.

I saw the same name on an older man several weeks ago. I'm a Christian, but even without the negative association, I personally don't think it works very well as a name. In addition, I've always thought that it's a bit awkward for parents to name their child after a religion they're not associated with. Even the name Christian, which I like and which is common enough, sounds weird to me on a child of non-Christian parents. If you are indeed a pagan and you wanted to use it a a mn, I suppose it would be fine.

I love it! I'd use it in a heart beat. Even though it'd be odd, for I am Pagan...

Because I am a Christian I have a hard time liking it. In fact before I have looked for a name to use, I checked out the biblical section first. *hebejebes*

I've always like it. I thought if Christians can name their sons Christian why not us Pagan's name our daughters Pagan?

---

I like it.

Ive heard it used on a boy, not a girl though

I like the sound, but as a Christian I don't think that would work for me.

It's nms but neither is Christian.

I once read an article where a little girl named Pagan. Her mom was named Christine. I found that funny in a name nerd kind of way.

I think it's a bad idea to name your child after a religion. I feel the same way about Christian, although at least Christian is actually a name and isn't trendy.

---

I don't like it. The sound is trendy, and it'd be as awkward if I used it as a pagan using Catholic on one of their kids, lol.

---

I think that it's unfair that most of the people who'll tell you it's awful will advocate Christian in a heartbeat, though.

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

not in a million-bajillion years! *shivers*

i like Pagan for a girl [and im Christian LOL] but i could never use it.

To me it's very bad and will be teasing material.
