HelpI hope you don't mind

I posted about this on the Facts Board and linked your post here. =)
I just have a rough time imagining why anyone would want to name a baby "peace destroyer."

Exactly! I didn't list that as one of my reasons because our world is so different than 1000 years ago. What we consider a plus probably was a minus back then.
But deep down I have to agree with you. "Oh, what a beautiful boy. Let's name him Peace Destroyer." "Why yes, you're right. Good one, honey."

Yeah, it looks like nobody's gonna really bite over there on Facts. Just "well, the book says this" ... if there were other names with meanings that went beyond glorifying war to glorifying destruction, it'd be more convincing.

Well, since "well, the book says this" is the only answer anyone can give (seeing as the name is very old and it's exact etymology is hard to determine and this particular word particle has been lost in most Slavic languages), how about names like Morana or Persephone? They don't have what you'd call great meanings, but people still created them and still use them today.
