Lucifer

[EndoJ]

the name Lucifer is a beautiful one, but would you be brave enough to use it considering that it is the biblical name for the devil?
I'm not sure i would.

No, I wouldn't. No more would I use Adolf. There are plenty of beautiful names. How about Lucien if you like that kind of sound?

Please tell me you are joking.

What about Beelzebub?

You could call him my little Bubs.

No. And it wouldn't be brave, it would be a blight on your child's life. But there are always crazy people in the world who would do something like that .

No, it's cruel to the child.

No, certainly not for a boy anyway, he will get called Luci/Lucy for short. If it didn't have the associated connotations, then yes, it is a pretty name, but not as it is.

Anus is also lovely (pronounced A-noos).

No. There are some names that are just a no-no.

I do think the name is pretty, however i would never use it.

DP likes the name Caleb as he is the son of the devil

No, definately not. Lucian is a really nice name though.

I think it's a lovely name. I am not religious so it doesn't hold that connection for me. However the connotations of the name are far to heavy to burden a child with. If an adult chooses the name that is up to them. But I would not call my child any name with such a strong historical connection that is still very real for some people. Lucien is equally as lovely and far less controversial.

* definitely * - ooooops, just in case the spelling police are out in force tonight. Mumsnet needs to introduce a spellchecker.

I think fuckface would be a better name than lucifer.

Er no. I always wondered about Cain as well though (although obviously less controversial than Lucifer). Since he is a biblical baddie. But people don't seem to mind.

'lovely name'? Call your child the devil and it's lovely? Can you people possibly be for real?

oh just call him Adolf-Osama-Gengis-lucifer-the great and be done with it

My DD is called Lucy, she is named after the patron saint of light

oh, i couldnt call my child damien either because of the film and only fools and horses

Um
NO

cookielovesorange Caleb the son of the devil? Where's that from? I only know the one in the Bible who is Joshua's sidekick.

We had a cat called Lucifer she was great. It's a brilliant name, go ahead and don't worry about other peoples opinions. Remember there is no devil and there is no god.

Sorry Disabil in a show, not the bible (i've never read the bible so bit clueless on that one)

Please, don't.

cookielovesorange OK!
