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-

*LOL*The amount of dislike I have for it more or less prevents me from thinking it sounds good with anything.I feel this way about so many names, this just made me laugh. Right now, with 06-06-06 and the remake of The Omen coming up soon, the name Damian could not sound good to me if a new Pope chose it! But then that's just my tortured Catholic-school upbringing rearing its ugly head...;)~Lillian~
