No, not at all. But to name your kid that, is like pumping it full of steroids. Like there are plenty of religious people, but the one that name their child Ezekiel Leviticus are probably a little more extreme and in-your-face about their beliefs.

That's what makes this name bothersome to me. Nothing wrong with patriotisme, but this is like saying 'I am a patriot, and you, you spineless worm, are not'.

And, maybe, because I generally hear the term in connection to extremists who justify thier actions because they're 'patriots and love their country'.

Signature-less
