HelpRe: Lucifer...but on a girl.
in reply to a message by Anneza
I disagree, I think anyone with even a nugget of knowledge about abrahamic religion or the origin of the story of Lucifer would consider it synonymous with naming your child Devil. I'm not even particularly religious anymore but it just screams evil and I don't understand the appeal of wanting to name your child something so horrendous as devil for the life of me. *Satan Worshipers aside, but even for them one would assume it was blasphemous*

Agreed, Adding on...
Personally, I don’t have a religious bone in my body and I would gladly use a name even if it is considered “too religious”, or evil.
However, I must say naming your child Lucifer is definitely not the best choice. Especially for a girl. At least be generous enough to put it as a middle name. Names like Lilith, Hecate, or really any names with pretty dark associations that isn’t Lucifer are fairly acceptable because it isn’t so annoyingly obvious and look like you’re trying so hard.
Naming your kid Isis or Adolf isn’t a beautiful idea because it’s associated with horrible evil. But even then a child named that isn’t getting it half as bad as a Lucifer would. Sometimes I feel like we need to punish the associations, not the name itself and take away its shine. So in my opinion, maybe you should take a look at our society first before making a kid Lucifer. It has a lovely meaning, decent, fun to play with, and it’s very powerful. I think we can appreciate that, but maybe let’s stick with Lucian, Lucy, Lucille, etc. And come back to this circa 200 years.

Lilith was sooo try-hard and obvious before it got common. Every evil-turned-cute/ambiguous/respectable name has to start somewhere.

It's untouchable on the same level as Adolph, no wiggle room.

It's not the same. Adolf was a human who committed real world atrocities. Lilith is a demon. Lucifer is an angel. If Lilith can be embraced, so can Lucifer.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one
