Just wondering if Lucifer would be a good name to use for a baby. Would it have to much of a negitive image being the name for satan and all? I just adore the name.

Umm, yeah, it would DEFINITELY have too much of a negative image. Just... no. Not a good idea, IMO.

All connontations aside, it is an OK name - but your kid would never, ever forgive you. Think of all the crap he would get from everyone

Yeah, I agree. I think that would be a REALLY BAD IDEA.

Definitely a bad idea. What if he wants to go to church? Also I think his friends parents would probably think you were crazy and not want him hanging out with their children.

What about Lucien or Lucius? Similar, but without the bad connotation.

Not Lucius either, please. To the 80 zillion people who've read Harry Potter, that's about as bad as Lucifer.

[peach-rose-girl.livejournal.com]

Lol, I didn't think of that. Although I suppose it's not bad if you find Jason Isaacs to be sexy. ;-)

That kid would get hell in school. I would stay away and possibly use the idea of Lucien if you're dead set on it.

...Yes, it's a bad idea. Hehe, I'm sorry, I can't tell if you're being silly or actually serious.

I don't think it's a good idea either. There are other names like Lucian, Lucien, Lucio (not really recommended though)or Luciano.

Thanks for your input. You all do have good points, but I really like the name. Damn the devil.

I think it would be a better name for a pet, personally. :/

Luca is a nice name :)

I rarely diss names, but I don't think it's a good idea... maybe a middle name?

This reminds me of a story.....I'll cut it short don't worry. I would like to think I am a pretty open person when it comes to names and what not.....but I use to do support groups for teen moms and there was this one teen couple that had two kids and their son's name is Lucifer and their daughters name is Lucifa. I was curious one day and finally asked why they named their children that and the guy was like,"Well, I think the children are demon seeds so why not name them after satan." I was like you have got to be kidding me. I think the girl was being abused by her boyfriend but refused to say so cuz that is just mean. But yeah I kind of had a judgemental moment about the kids names.

I'm sure that is not why you want to name your kid Lucifer and frankly if it wasn't like another name for satan then I would like that name too. I love the tori amos song father lucifer. ;P I like Lucious and Luicus but my mom being a reborn christian *rolls eyes* she almost had a heart attack.

Okay I'm rabbling sorry.... :)

Hell yeah!

I LOVE IT! I posted an entry like this one about 6 months ago in another community. And yes, Satan does share this name however, the name means; light bearer and, I think that you can go both ways with the meaning I mean the name Lucy shares it's meaning and everyone loves Lucy. Plus, It is a really nice sounding name. And I think not naming your child the name because "it's the devil’s name" acknowledges Satan. I adore the name as well and power to you!

ramblin again...............

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

tuedaystea has a point....and I have been thinking....okay people name their kids Jesus right....and technically that is god's son's name. Why not name your kid lucifer. So what if no one else likes it. This is your baby name him/her whatever you like. Just because it is "associated" with the devil (and I have known a few jesus's to be demon seeds themselves) shouldn't make your decision on what YOU want to name your child. That would be like no one wanting to name their kid Bertha because that name is associated with fat chicks supposively. Or not wanting to name their kid bonnie or betty because it is associated with a 1950's house wife. You know.

I am not sure, but, i think the kid will get teased a lot.
I dont like it.

[cynicaloptimist.livejournal.com]

Ignoring the whole link-to-Satan thing, can you imagine how badly the poor kid will get bullied? Do you want to curse a man to being called 'Lucy' all his life?
