Comments for LUCIFER:
In my opinion, this is an awful name!-- Anonymous User 8/15/2005
I find it to be a very beautiful name, when all prior bad associations with it are put away.-- Belus 9/17/2005
I really bemoan this name's bad reputation. It really is a beautiful one if you look at the definition, and not it's history.-- Softly 10/2/2005
Lucifer was the Roman god of light, he was known to bring light, hence the bringer of light, and to also bring enlightenment. I personally find this to be a beautiful name, despite the bad image given to society by the bible.-- jaaku_thunder 10/9/2005
Lucedio is the Italian form of Lucifer.-- SkywalkerFan 10/31/2005
I think Lucifer is a beautiful name and very much thought of to be a bad name even though other names are derived from this name.
After having a chat with a wife of a priest there is definitely no problem in naming a child this, after all it is an Angelical name. A friend and I are seriously considering reviving this name when we both have children.-- Anonymous User 11/30/2005
Lucifer is the mean cat in the Disney's animated version of "Cinderella."-- breakofday 12/17/2005
I actually really like this name. It sounds lovely, and there is nothing terrible about the meaning at all.-- veggiedoll 2/22/2006
I've always liked this name. The history part can be misleading in regards of this name. As many know, it was the name of the first angel in heaven, and the most loved one, but he rebelled and was ejected out of heaven. What many don't know is that in Christian mythology, it is stated that once Lucifer was out of heaven, he lost this name and became Satan. So Satan is no longer called Lucifer, and to call him that is wrong. So, all in all, the name Lucifer has no bad meaning whatsoever. :)-- alimagmel 3/21/2006
This name creeps me out.-- canuckflame 5/25/2006
It's a VERY good name. But a kid with this name would be taunted, you don't need twenty guesses to know why.-- Mithos514 6/6/2006
Personally, I think this is a beautiful name. And, as other people have stated, biblically the name Lucifer bore angelic connotations. Etymologically it is also a lovely name, since it does mean "light-bringing". Still, it might be hard to have a name with so many negative connotations behind it.-- mekkoneko 7/11/2006
I'm pretty sure the kid wouldn't be teased. I mean no offence but like 5% of kids old enough to be immature enough to tease someone for their name care about the bible. Besides, it's been recorded Lucifer was stolen from the Greeks to stomp out their religion, like the Christians ripped pagan gods and made them look evil just to get more groupies.-- Anonymous User 8/8/2006
We have a boy in out school named Lucifer, we just call him Lou but that is beside the point. I really like this name a lot it just sounds so pretty to me, I don't associate it with evil and all that either I always picture some sort of angel type thing when I hear the name. That being because of its meaning, but anyway this name is very nice and its bad associations should be tossed away.-- Anonymous User 8/8/2006
A fabulous name! I must say, though, that the child WOULD be teased if named this - just because kids wouldn't normally know who the original "Lucifer" was, doesn't mean that the parents wouldn't. A simple, "Then Lucifer said ..." would coax the parents to tell the story (or what they know of it). Kids can be jerks - young Lucifer would be tormented throughout elementary school.
Because of this, I wouldn't name my child this way - although it would make a great name for a quiet, bullied character.-- Emmasj 9/18/2006
I like this name. I feel bad that it has a reputation for being the devil. When I think of this name, I don't think of the devil at all. I actually think of a light of some sort. I mean, how could a name be evil if God gave the name to an angel?-- zev 9/23/2006
I'm pleased to see that other people share my opinion that Lucifer is a simply gorgeous name and should be revived!-- Hieronymus_Q 9/26/2006
Sorry but I just don't like this name and wouldn't subject my kid to the teasing he would endure with this name.-- Anonymous User 10/30/2006
I do think it's quite pretty as a name and it has a beautiful meaning, but there's absolutely no way it will come into great popularity.-- wefrox 11/4/2006
I don't like it. Not because of what it's associated with, but just the way it sounds. I wouldn't mind it if it was someone's name, of course. I wouldn't think them as evil. I'm sorry, but I have to pity any person named this. A lot of close-minded people would put this person down, and this person would get teased all through school. This name may even hinder his success in the real world. It's really unfair and prejudice, but it's simply the truth.-- dreadfulxsorry 11/16/2006
Reminds me of that Black Sabbath song "N.I.B."
"Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am,
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand." :)-- angolmois 11/21/2006
I think Lucifer is a beautiful name too, but even besides the Biblical smear, I would be concerned that a boy might get called "Lucy" by other kids.-- visitor27 11/27/2006
I think it's a shame this name is so marred by the supposed "devil". Lucifer has a beautiful meaning and sound. Regardless, this is one of my favourites.-- KOT 1/6/2007
I've actually never heard of the name Lucifer being connected with the "devil" but would think that a kid would be teased just because of the evil cat in Cinderella. The name for the cat suddenly makes sense though. It's too bad because it's a lovely name.-- writing the world 1/29/2007
After talking to the wife of a priest, as long as you don't name your child this and expect to have it baptized there should be no real problem.
I adore the name I mean it does have many pet forms that are in common use today so don't see this as a bad name, dispite its assiotation with the devil. This in my opinion is an Angelical Name used before The Devil fell plus sounds very roman, classic and masculine. No problem with this name at all I would happily call any future son of mine this.-- purplesheep 5/3/2007
Lucifer is the name of an angel in the Bible. People only associate it with bad things because he was not the typical figure we imagine angels to be. Lucifer is a protector. I think this name is cool, but it is not meant to be used on a person, as it does have a reputation and is associated with evils.-- maggie_angel 5/13/2007
I love this name! I don't plan on having any kids, but if I do end up with one I'd name it Lucifer or Lucifel. The name seems masculine and romantic, perfect for a tall, dark stranger.-- Jackdaw 6/15/2007
I don't like the obvious associations with the name. Sometimes I think bad associations can ruin the name for some. And for me this name is ruined.-- Anonymous User 7/24/2007
I love the original meaning to the name, bringing light. I think it is absolutely beautiful. To be honest, I have no problems at all with this name and I think it sounds rather awesome.-- Anonymous User 8/2/2007
The name's pretty cool despite its history.-- rv14142 9/18/2007
I really like its meaning. Despite its unfortunate connotations, it's a nice name. Anyway, Satan WAS an angel before he became evil. So, this name can't be all bad.-- Zan11 9/20/2007
Lucifer means "match" in Dutch, as in the piece of wood used to make fire. A pretty good name considering it means light bearer. :P-- renee06 10/23/2007
If you name your son Lucifer, don't try to send him to a Catholic school.-- jasmineenimsaj 2/10/2008
Well, it does mean 'Light-Bringer'. It's a name with character but it is, ultimately, an angelic name - just because it belonged to the being Christians call Satan before he fell, doesn't mean it's somehow marked forever or a bad name. Any reasonably thinking Christian would catch onto that eventually. It actually gives me the impression of being a righteous name, one fitting for someone with a strong and interesting personality.-- skazka 3/1/2008
It boggles my mind that some people are actually naive, or maybe intensionally obtuse, enough to just say that they simply like the sound of it, so what's the problem? Well, the associations are the problem. Everyone has heard of the Biblical Lucifer, and of course anyone would assume that the parents of a girl/boy with this name named her/him Lucifer as some type of bizarre statement. They'd think the parents were lunatics of some kind: Satan worhippers, cult members, or just very immature people who thought it would be cool. I can also imagine that especially in the US, people would be rather distrustful of a woman/man named Lucifer.-- slight night shiver 4/28/2008
Lucifer Sam is a Pink Floyd song from their first album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It's about a cat, so I think that the Lucifer part of the title refers to the cat from Cinderella. (Though I couldn't even begin to guess at the Sam part.)-- Pippin 5/10/2008
Well, this technically isn't Satan's name (it was only his name when he was an angel). And I think this is a rather pretty name with a nice meaning (bringing light). I wouldn't use it, though, simply because of the associations it has with it. I think it's rather funny, though, that somebody with this name might be given the nickname Lucy. (Actually, I used to think this was a girl's name, because I used to only know this name from Cinderella, and I thought Lucifer the cat was a girl.)-- Pippin 5/10/2008
I find this a terrible name to give to your boy. I'm sorry, but as well as the meaning, it sounds like a combination of Lucy and Jennifer, to me. It would be a very pretty girl's name.-- Anonymous User 5/23/2008
Lucifer would be an okay name if it weren't associated with Satan.-- Anonymous User 5/24/2008
The only thing I really think of when I hear this name is that it reminds me a lot of "Oliver".-- Anonymous User 5/25/2008
Lucifer is like the names Lucy and Jennifer put together.-- Hushpuppy 7/7/2008
Actually, Lucifer and Satan are the same. So my question is why do they make a point of saying that there is a difference between Satan and the chief angel, when they are one in the same. Also the name Lucifer is yes a beautiful name, in fact Lucifer or Satan rather is actually supposed to be the most beautiful creature ever. So thats why most people have a forboding sense to it plus its past does not help. Overall some of this information is inaccurate.-- mck88 8/5/2008
Lucifer is NOT a human name. I'm not even going to go into why I hate this name because of how evil and diabolical it sounds.-- bananarama 9/15/2008
I'm an atheist, I'm not planning on sending my future son 'named Lucifer' to church school (duh) and so I do not care at all about the orgin of his name. So- haha.-- Anonymous User 10/8/2008
In the Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price, the specific reason why Lucifer was cast out of heaven was because he wanted to take away everyone's freedom to choose for themselves: he wanted to force everyone to be good at all times. He also wanted to take God's glory and power for himself. The meaning of his name is also given as "son of the morning." How tragic that an angel with so much potential would deliberately turn so evil.
For these reasons alone, I would not name a child (or even a pet) after him, no matter how nice the name itself is. However, I'd be happy to try to reclaim the name through a character.-- RedGyl 10/10/2008
The name of Lucifer should be put into the section of Roman Mythology, where it belongs first and foremost. Its place in Roman Mythology is much older than its place in the Judeo-Christian Legend.
As you may know, Roman mythology was strongly influenced by Greek mythology, meaning that the ancient Romans had incorporated many elements from Greek mythology into their own. Thus, some names were directly taken from Greek mythology and romanized (e.g. Hesperos became Vesper), others were simply translated into legitimate Latin. The name Lucifer is an example of that; it is a direct translation of Greek Phosphoros. Phosphoros was a name that was sometimes used for Eosphoros, the son of the Greek goddess Eos; Eosphoros was the Greek personification of the morning star. So, in short, Lucifer is another example of incorporation of Greek elements into Roman mythology.-- Lucille 11/10/2008
I would like this name if it wasn't for the Satan association.-- number1212 11/30/2008
I really like Lucifer. It would make a really nice middle name.-- metope 12/2/2008
I knew a girl named Lucifer. Her sister's names were Lucy and Jennifer and the mom combined the two and created Lucifer. Regardless I think it is a cool name, connotations aside.-- eschantie 12/12/2008
I personally don't like what it means, but I think it is pretty and I would definitely use it as a character in a story, probably either a rebel or a villain. I think it is more beautiful on a girl.-- namine_fatale 2/13/2009
Lucious Malfoy's (you know, the death eater) name came from this.-- Anonymous User 2/28/2009
Famous Bearer: The fat cat in that princess movie.-- Anonymous User 6/18/2009
The actual meaning is "light bearer".-- fluffy_iam 8/26/2009
In school I used to know someone with this name, actually. People were actually NOT ALLOWED to say his name. They *had* to shorten it to Luke. I feel really bad for him. Why should a name be against rules? :(-- Anonymous User 10/1/2009
