You can't just name your child whatever you like in Germany. Godsgift is OK; devilish monikers are not. Elsewhere in the world, the rules for name approval are even stricter. In one country, Harriet is a no-go.

What the hell? That's probably what a civic registry office employee thought when he saw the request made by a couple from the central German city of Kassel. The parents wanted to register their newborn son as Lucifer.

The registrar refused to put the rather unusual name into the baby's birth certificate, and the parents refused to choose a different one. The case ended up in court, where, eventually, Mom and Dad were convinced to not saddle their son with a name that many people across the world associate with pure evil. The baby boy is now named Lucian.

The Latin word "lucifer" means "morning star" or, as an adjective, "light-bringing." But today the name is a synonym for the devil. In Christian tradition, Lucifer was used as the proper name of the devil before his fall from grace. In popular culture, Lucifer is synonymous with the devil or Satan.

At least the parents were not treated like animals. Unlike in Albania, the first officially declared atheist nation. The atheist state would imprisoned and tortured anyone who had a name related to any religion. If your name was peter, you had to change it, or else you would be imprisoned, tortured and then killed. Changing your name of course wasn't enough to keep you alive, you had to renounce God and convert to atheism. If you refused, you would be executed.

Update: For those misreading my post. I'm talking about Albania when it was an atheist state, it is no longer. Hence religous folks are not treated like animals in Albania anymore, like they once were for several decades when it was an atheist state. You can read more about that here. Thank you

Another lying ignorant Christian. You guys make it hard for irreligious people like me to continue to believe in Christianity with these kind of lies. You are a disgrace.

So the Holy Spirit couldn't tell u that your information is wrong? Later u will be claiming u speak in tongues and raise the dead and see the future. Common publicly available information, your "holy spirit", the one u claim is also the same as God, couldn't help u with. Now u have shamed Christians. Lmao
