Re: WDYTO Lourdes?
in reply to a message by Kate
This name for me is firmly entrenched in two different categories: Madonna's kid and religion. As an atheist I'd never use it because it's connotation is waaaay religious, and as someone who is really repulsed by Madonna I wouldn't use it. To boot I'm totally contemptuous of religiously motivated perceived phenomenon and would never want my kid's name to be reminiscent of such. The amount of dislike I have for it more or less prevents me from thinking it sounds good with anything.

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. -Marx-
