Personally, I don’t have a religious bone in my body and I would gladly use a name even if it is considered “too religious”, or evil.

However, I must say naming your child Lucifer is definitely not the best choice. Especially for a girl. At least be generous enough to put it as a middle name. Names like Lilith, Hecate, or really any names with pretty dark associations that isn’t Lucifer are fairly acceptable because it isn’t so annoyingly obvious and look like you’re trying so hard.

Naming your kid Isis or Adolf isn’t a beautiful idea because it’s associated with horrible evil. But even then a child named that isn’t getting it half as bad as a Lucifer would. Sometimes I feel like we need to punish the associations, not the name itself and take away its shine. So in my opinion, maybe you should take a look at our society first before making a kid Lucifer. It has a lovely meaning, decent, fun to play with, and it’s very powerful. I think we can appreciate that, but maybe let’s stick with Lucian, Lucy, Lucille, etc. And come back to this circa 200 years.
