ArchivesRe: El Shaddai
in reply to a message by L Cleffman
Yeah, you're totally right. El Shaddai is a really awesome name and I just want you to know that I am backing you up in your decision to name your daughter this!! I am glad you have no regrets about naming her that - it is an excellent name, and it sounds like it is perfect for her. I had never heard of naming a kid El Shaddai before, but I absolutely love it. It is great.
People are incredbily cruel and degrading around here. I've learned that the hard way. People hate me and my names, too. But some people need to learn how to give their opinion without insulting, hurting, and making others feel bad. I almost stopped making polls after some rude comments I got about my names.
Don't worry about them. And don't ever regret naming your daughter the name you WANTED to name her. There is no need to. The people who are saying these things just need to grow up. I know I'm going to get chewed out for this, but I honestly think you guys need to cool it a little. Everyone gets way too wored up about things.

I feel exactly like you do. In fact I can't stop thinking about this name! And for all the people who 'know' so much about its meaning, here's another theory:(see my first post) From a chapter titled WHY HAS MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANITY IGNORED THE DIVINE FEMININE on http//www.cosmicwind.net/800/Cmwl/WynnProse/EvanQ2.html : '... El Shaddai, () is more accurately translated "the breasted God" or "God with breasts" which would evoke an androgynous image'. And if you think that the orthodox interpretation God Almighty simply 'must' be correct, remember the proverb 'Out of all his creatures, God fears most for the Rabbis' (i.e. for their salvation!) :D

Thanks for your response. I just seen my daughter was on here. I guess my daughter was upset over the rude comments, but she held her own. Again thank you.

you're welcome. no one should be ridiculed and mocked the way you were. it was very uncalled for. you asked a simple question and everyone blew up at you as if you'd named your kid satan or something!! gosh!!
