the meaning of Faith..

[irishjewel413.livejournal.com]

So I have a funny little comment to tell you all that my dad made about me changing the baby's name to Faith. So right now I'd like it to be Faith Liliana or Faith Olivia. Originally it was going to be Liliana but due to recent events and the split with my abusive bf I feel like Faith is so much more appropriate.

So my dad absolutely hates it. He said in the 60s apparently drug addicts named their babies Faith. I started laughing at him when he said that. Whether that WAS the case or not, its not the 60s anymore and when I and anyone I've asked think of the name Faith, they think of religion, belief in something positive, something good...not drug addicts!

What do you all think? I just had to tell you all that.

First of all: you're absolutely right. These are not the sixties, and you like the name, so do it!

Second of all, it really bugs me when people dismiss the sixties as the era of drug addicts. Even though I wasn't alive then, I think of it as a positive time, full of idealism, hope, peaceful rebellion and progressiveness (oh, and good music too). So looking at it in the most positive light, just tell your dad idealists named their babies Faith =D
