Names with "Bad" meanings by MangaBottle |
I think you will find that this site is interested in real names whether or not their meaning is good. Furthermore, your question is imprecise: a lot of the world's moral thought does not hold good and bad as separate categories; bad is very often the good in excess, and your fiction can play on that. And, depending on the style of writing, you might want to make up a name, or use a foreign name whose sound pattern in the language of your story suggests the evil in your protagonist.
I know that in India I have heard of the use of names which are variations on the theme of unfortunate, though I cannot recall any this early before my first coffee. Pet names are often based on less than ideal qualities of a person. I do not know if you would count any of this as bad.
