Lucifer actually means something that brings light in Latin i.e Morning glory. Not a bad meaning.

Because of What it connotes
Compared to other evil names in the Bible
Lucifer is a beautiful name
It means "bringer of dawn" or "son of the morning" and yes I can name my self lucifer
But I can't name my child such, wouldn't want to traumatize him and have people calling him the devil
The one I crossed out is not accurate.

And the worst is that they didn't have regards for the Almighty God and went on to bear JESUS. e.g Jesus Navas

There are two major factors that determine the use of a name. 1. What the name naturally means which may tally with the parents expectations or circumstances behind the birth 2. The personality that bore that name in the ancient time. Lucifer is a good name meaning A Morning Star.
Etymologically, it is a Latin word which Greek word is phosphorus meaning The Morning Star, Venue.In the use in other Bible passages it means the Dawn Job 11:17, Psalm 110:3, II Peter 1:19, Isa.14:12 Shinning One, Light Bringer Ezek. 28:13-15. But because of the personality behind it, nobody wants to bear the name. The same thing goes for Judas. Judas means Praise. It is the Greek version of the Hebrew word for Judah meaning Praise. Iscariot is the name of where he came from Kerioth. Meaning Judas a man from Kerioth to differentiate him from other people bearing the same name Judas. My daughter's name is Praise. But if you call her Judas which is the same meaning I will feel somehow because a character has tarnished that name.

Please, go to Israel , there are a lot of people that bear the name Judas and some you mentioned there. Judas Maccabees is a Jewish hero so the name "Judas" is still relevant. Well for Christians, there would always be exceptions....

Because Lucifer though having a nice interpretation (Son of the Morning), is still the devil's name. And giving someone that name may attract the devil in his life. 1Corinthians 11 says "the devil has manifested as an angel of light".

He has been cursed (Satan). But his powers and his name was not taken from him.

CONCLUSION: Naming your child Lucifer is not advisable. Except you want his future to be heavily influenced by satan. Remember he also love to take glory in people's lives. Just like God.

Yea, I know Isaiah 14. You should have asked why I said that. Well, it doesn't mean son of the morning. Son of the morning is a title given to angels of the 3rd heaven (from ascending order). Michael, Gabriel for instance are sons of the morning. Isaiah 14:12 simply mentioned his angelic "lineage" or order. So, we do not have just one but many "sons of the morning" but one fell from his world. We also have sons of fire....like that..that's another "lineage." I hope you understand now. I only want to bring clarity. Yea, his name means bringer of the dawn or light bearer..whatever..but son of the morning is a "lineage"

Excuse me, Don't even go there! That is why we are still like this. Now go around and ask those bearing Success how successfull they are. See George "Bush". A man bearing Bush o, became a president. If it we're to be in niger, u name ur child Bush, you people will say the name will follow the child and drag him into the bush. Maybe it is only in Nigeria that names follow people. And that's our excuse for failure.
excuse me..... even wit bush it still ve a better meaning if u want me to translate it 4 u... but here im talking abt a spiritual being wit spiritual significances not not ur illustration here.....or ve u heard of name like devil demon evil satan

Iscariot is the family/clan name

His father was Simon Iscariot
And yes there are/were people named Judas Iscariot based on My heritage findings

Lool @the insult. It wasn't necessary. Just proving me wrong would have sufficed the counter-statement
I obviously quoted the wrong person!!

Lucifer (Morning Star ) or bringer of light it would be inconciveable for a parent to name their child Lucifer the same reason why no one calls their child Judas its the history associated with the name.

The beginning and the end matters a lot in everything. The name Lucifer, though might have positive meaning. He may have received that name when he was still at peace with God but along the line he rebelled and disobeyed. So God demoted him, took away those attributes and privileges he used to enjoy. Judas meaning juda, one of the tribes of Israel, is another example of those who started well but ended badly. The name is synonymous with treachery, greed for money and suicide because he chose the wrong path. Though through his action, the scripture was fulfilled but God placed a curse upon whosoever the son of man will be led to the cross.
