Re: Taboo names becoming less... taboo?
in reply to a message by erb816
I have seen a resurgence of Cain, but in different spellings, probably to separate it from the taboo. Mostly I see Kane, though I've also seen Kain. Jezebel is on my GP list too. It sounds pretty and honestly, even growing up in the church, without looking it up, I can't remember why it's bad, just that it is, so it's possible people just don't know. I do think that Biblical implications of names are meaning less as there is more movement away from traditional ideas and beliefs.
