My own name was something with stronge meaning. I think it has to do with a past bad event or so.
I hate when i was called by this name because of it's negetive meaning, it means, My enemies are more than my friends shocked how could one be happy that his enemies are more than his/her friends? i wonder why i should be bearing a weird name like that, i had to change it to (a sent smelling flower) which does really match my person and appearance.

(Maximillia) Maxime is my son's name smiley
Very beautiful.

Too much hassle for her. So she's sticking to making sure her kids have good names. But definitely the boys in my family will be named after my brother the destroyer grin cheesy grin
I kindda like the name Lucifer or rather more specifically the name Lucien (a variation) means Light Bearer or bearer of Light
Lucifer in greek mythology means morning star. Same as i like the name Diablo grin grin

Please don't name boys in ur family after a distroyer brother, is it a good thing to call someone a destroyer? abeg give the boys goos name, they mustn't be like their brother.

You seem to like names with strange meaning, Diablo is not a nice name shocked my hubby's aunty has a black cat called Lint, be became wicked for no reason so they change her name to Diablo. grin grin grin
