No, but when I was in the Navy I knew a Seaman Sample, a Seaman Guzzler, and a Seaman Drink.

A friend from highschool was called sperm bank in the Navy because he was Seaman Sellers.

Yeah, Lucifer Morningstar, he owns a club in Los Angeles and works as an LAPD consultant.

He's really nice too, always asking people what they would like, even when they're being held for interrogation. Him and that Detective he works with, real good-cop, bad-cop duo.

No but I actually named myself Lucie partially because of the similitude

Actually, I am from Madrid in Spain , and we in Spain have a wide selection of children’s names: Lenin, Locomotive, Jesus, Ivan, Maria (for boy) . An uncle of mine wanted to name his little boy Lucifer, but it got refused by the civil servant!! We held a sit down protest in the village square, the mayor mediated between the parties. The little boy was then named after the King or the pope or some other dignitary. Ronaldo?

Hopefully no one hates their newborn child enough to name it that?

Lucifer killed zero people in the Bible. Compare that to Yahweh's genocidal body count.

The serpent never even told Eve to eat the fruit, just that she could (by the way, the fruit of a tree an appearantly all-knowing god put in front of them. Fruit that grants the eater the knowledge of the difference between good and evil. Which is somehow a bad thing?).

Satan wasn't the one who ruined Job's life and murdered his family for a bet.

Even when presented as the enemy, they can't help but write Lucifer as the good guy. I'll take enlightenment over bullshit threats of eternal damnation by a self described "jealous god" every day of the week.

Lucifer was originally the name for the planet, Venus, in Roman mythology. That’s where “morning star”’ comes from. Because it’s visible just before or just after (as Noctifer) the sun rises and falls.

Early translaters used it for the name of the “Shinging one” in Isaiah.

Not everyone associates the name with a demon… that’s mostly christians and Christian off shoots.

So no, not everyone is the same as you enough to avoid naming their kid something you think is alway bad.

Your newborn sat upright and said, “you will not name me Lucifer!”

And then I imagine they collapse into a crying mess and you just name them Jesus for safety.

naw, a little more straight forward. part of the reason i was attracted to my spouse in the first place was her atheism... she seriously considered the name.

i love the idea of lucifer as a name as it seems to be one of the first to challenge the absolute idiocy that is the christian god

fantastic
