There are many girl and boy names you could use that mean Innocent or pure, and would be much more suitable to a child than a word straight out from the dictionary.Girls:Cate - "an Innocent and pure girl" Cathleen - "a lady who is pure and Innocent" Cayley - "she is an Innocent one" Liliana - "pure and Innocent person" Miranda - "admirable " (this is my name)There are more girl names and some boy names that aren't of English origin that I do not recommend using if you aren't fron that ethnicity... But, I do suggest you don't use the name Innocent. It's not a real name at all.

I kinda like this name, it's catchy, of course I probably wouldn't name my kid that, but I still think it's nice.
Innocent Chukwuma is a Nigerian business magnate and investor. He was the founder and CEO of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing, Nigeria's first indigenous automobile manufacturing company.
Innocent Egbunike is a former sprinter from Nigeria.He studied at Azusa Pacific University, where he still holds the school record at 400 metres and the automatically timed NAIA meet record at 200 metres.
Everyone in the comments here thinks that they are being very clever, but they all say the same thing. Now, the reason why popes had this name is after the Holy Innocents, which is an event in the Gospel of Matthew where king Herod orders all children younger than two years to be murdered in hopes of getting Jesus. These are especially remembered in Catholicism because they were the first martyrs.
If you're thinking of naming your child this, just imagine these scenarios: 1. Calling her/his name "Innocent!" "Innocent come here!" 2. Idk what to name this "Someone's called Innocent." "Who's Innocent?" "I'm Innocent." "._." 3. Introductions "Hello there, I'm Phoenix. What's your name?" "I'm Innocent." "Cool. But what's your name?" "Innocent." "0_0" And then of course, bullying. The kid might grow up to hate you. Don't do it.
Met my first Innocent today. He is from Zimbabwe and is a licensed physical therapist in New York. Very pleasant gentlemen. I told him that he was the very first Innocent human I had ever met.
This name is listed as a masculine name. I think any little boy named this will no doubt be teased at school everyday. I do not recommend this name for any child, boy or girl. However, it would be funny if a celebrity named their child 'Innocent' just to see if the name would rise in popularity.
Dumbest name I have ever heard. The parents were either very troubled, crazy, or dopes to name their kid Innocent... Poor kid.

You'd have to be insane to name your son this today. Now, since this is a masculine name, my humble guess is that this name was actually supposed to refer to the good nature and reliability and respectability of a man instead of his virginity, but maybe some modern religious kooks who believe in equal opportunity slut shaming would name their son this and then get him some type of male chastity belt to make sure he remains ''innocent'' until he marries, bwahahaha. At least, those are the type of people that come to mind when I try to imagine what type of loonies would use this pompous name that certainly sets up some interesting expectations.
