"Negative" names by E.W. |
Yeah for sure. In Indian villages if a couple's children fail to thrive, they name their child on something unpleasant out of sheer superstition so that death will spare him/her as if death is also fond of good names. Anyways, I had this teacher named Suglaram, sugla here means grubby, one who rarely bathes. Also, some men were named Saitan meaning devil, so that they frighten everybody, a "manly" feature. The name Durjan is also heard, it means bad man.
I don't find the name meaning pity, solitude and martyrdom unpleasant.
