Haha, no offense taken. The meanings for Claudia and Cecily (both on my list) throw a lot of people off, and I understand that. The thing about Seven is that it's so blatantly a NUMBER and not a name. It makes the person sound like a test subject. Well, actually, where my mind goes is to the Holocaust. I know that's really dark and morbid, but my family is Jewish and that whole "number instead of a name" thing was always really blatantly discouraged for us because of its historical significance. It disturbs me a lot to see numbers used. It's not about the meaning of the name. It's about the concept itself.

Oh ok :( I always think of that when people get tattoos of numbers on the insides of their wrists (yeah, I actually know people who did that). Usually the date of birth of someone they loved.

I get the same reaction. It just really digs at me to see stuff like that. I know JEWISH people who tattoo the hell out of themselves, and I just... eoaifjoaejfoirhgughijrfkefkjfhawerjwg. Hahaha.
