ArchivesRe: Names with "Bad" meanings
in reply to a message by MangaBottle
well parents usually give good meanings and else some countries have laws regarding negative names (in Germany you are not allowed to name your child "Satan" f.ex.), that's why real names with bad meanings are rather rare.
I think Claudia and Dolores are rather negative though. As well as Cecilia.
Else it seems there is a naming tradition in some asian countries to give children ugly names or insults, because children with beautiful names are more likely to be kidnapped by ghosts (a vietnamese girl told me that), altough those negative names have become pretty normal now.

As I just realized your nickname. You can pretty easily create japanese names with negative meanings by changing the characters used. f.ex. I heard about parents wishing for a son, that got a girl and out of disappointment named her "Fumiko". A very normal name, but they used the characters "fu = not", "mi = beautiful", "ko = child".
