Re: Lucifer
Lucifer used to be one of my favourites. I think it's absolutely beautiful. Obviously, though, I'd never use it.I feel the same way about Orchid. I think it would make a great name if it didn't mean what it did.Claudia doesn't actually have that bad of a meaning. There's nothing inherently bad about feebleness and/or immobility.I wish Narcissa and Narcissus had better meanings. I think they're so incredibly gorgeous. Sigh.Ulysses possibly means "to hate", which obviously is a terrible meaning, but I get past it easily because A) it's only a possible meaning and B) it has incredible associations.I would say that Algernon is deceptive, but I happen to think that "having a moustache" is by far the coolest meaning any name could ever have EVER.

You're rightAlgernon does have the coolest name meaning evarrr.I like Ulysses, too. But you're right, the associations make up for any possible negative meanings. (Though personally, "to hate" seems kind of cool to me. Rather INTENSEooooh.)

LOL"Having a moustache" is an awesome meaning!
Also, what does Orchid mean? I think it's a beautiful name, but is the meaning really that bad?

because the flowers that were named for it, part of their shape looks like testicles so they say, but IMO they don't.from wikipedia.org:
"Orchis is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). This genus gets its name from the Greek όρχις orchis, meaning "testicle", from the appearance of the paired subterranean tuberoids"Orchid is also a color though, and doesn't have anything to do with the flowers.

Yeah, but purple has rather sexual connotations if you ask me, doesn't it? And orchid is purple.
