Re: Would you give your child a name with a negative meaning?
in reply to a message by TMyers
I'm quite divided on this and have thought about it. Some of my favorite names ever are Claudia and Ichabod, but they mean "lame" and "no glory" respectively. I would just wonder if my future children would look up their names as I did at a young age and get palatable meanings like 'graceful' or 'moon' or 'radiant', and then poor Claudia and Ichabod find theirs. I wouldn't want them to think I set them up for failure.

I understand. I don't think I could choose a name with a negative meaning.
