HelpRe: What if this happened in real life?
in reply to a message by Rose Yuen
Are we talking about Lo-ruhamah?
Yeah, I think that was unfair to her.
If someone told me they named their child Not-Pitied or Abomination because God told them to, but they called them Abby, Bo, Pit, etc instead...um, they'd seem callous and also insincere, and it would give me the worst possible impression of their "mission".
Or if they named their child No-Mercy or Not-Loved and later changed it to Mercy or Loveday 'in the name of God', that'd seem gimmicky and ridiculous.
While we're talking about Bible stories, if someone told me they'd been willing to kill their son as a human sacrifice because God told them (but God told them not to, at the last minute, so look, see how merciful their God is!), I would call the police.
I'm not against Puritanical seeming names as a group, though.
