@Life,
I , personally do not know a child or any other person named Lucifer , but some years ago Lucifer was not unknown as a name given to sons .
I assume the name is not common now due to it's connection to the Devil . Is this your point ?

@jatuab,
From Wikipedia-Lucifer

"Lucifer was originally a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek heosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later misinterpretations of the text and the influence of embelishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan."

Still asking what your point is , Life .

@Life,
Hitlers, Lucifers, Jezebels, Jesuses, and all the other famous names have been used a lot. We just don't know anyone personally with those names, and I doubt that, at their time of use, it carried any specific connotation.

Not to my knowledge, but that guy is supposed to be all meek and secretive and whatnot when he comes back, so who knows?

@Life,
ndjs,

LOL Not exactly the point I had in mind but close enough for this thread. Simply having the name Lucifer would not necessarily mean a child was evil anymore than being named Jesus means one can walk on water. As has already been mentioned, Lucifer was not, at first, a name nor did it apply to Satan. BTW both Satan and Devil are descriptive titles that also have morphed into names for the unnamed one.

Let me give Life a left-handed compliment. Life is obviously doing a lot of thinking about these things to come with the point that is being made in this thread, but I, like others, did not get it till more information was provided by Life. I too would rather Life show us a little more of the sharp mind behind these polls and questions by taking a little more time and effort to form the ideas and points into statements or questions where the points are discernable without having to ask for more information and with which information Life is stingy.

@Life,
I think "life" is short on real experience. Hence the shortness of his true opinion, he has none is looking for one?

@Life,
In Spanish the term Lucifer (morning star) is Lucero and it is in fact a given name. However in most Spanish speaking countries the English translation, Lucifer, is used for the Devil.
