Reply to: Names with "Bad" meanings 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.
