I have a question about a name.

Okay, so I recently fell in love with a name that my husband suggested. He actually came up with it in his sleep and shook me awake to tell me. Only thing is, after a bit of research I've found out that the name actually means prostitute. But I ADORE the name, it's just special. If you know what I mean?

The name is Jezebel. (Jez-e-bell) I had never even heard of it before. And until my research on the internet I was going to use it for my child. But now, if it means something awful like that, I'm a little nervous that my child might be teased. 

What's everyones opinions when it comes to name meanings? Do they matter? Should I care what it means? 

Let me know what you peeps think :)

Jezebel was a biblical whore. There are some names I can overlook the meanings on (such as Mallory), but that is basically outright naming your child "Whore".

:( It sounds so pretty. Sucks that it has such a terrible story behind it!
