Comments for the name Beelzebub

This is NOT a good name!

Indeed, no. It is a name which, in my opinion, illustrates [the root of] a certain *cough* religion's history of mocking other faiths and cultures, a practice which would be deemed to be barbaric today but has not been corrected or abhored by members of this faith. The origin of the name disgusts me, it's awful, and if members of this certain faith which did such mocking, heard their god taken under such mockery, why there'd be a hypocritical outrage.

*snorts* This name is hilarious! Makes me think of beetles, or a name from Harry Potter. *laughs* Beezlebub...

This name is so funny!

Beelzebub is one of Satan's chief men in Eoin Colfer's book 'The Wish List'.

"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for MEEEEEE!"
---"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

I've always heard it meant demon or satan. Oh, PLEASE don't name your child this!

Mwahahaha, you'd have to be insane to use this on a child, as people would think you're either a Satanic cult member, an immature teen parent who thought it would be funny, or some type of angst-ridden, miserable contrarian who wants to make a statement and shock people. A guy named Beelzebub might have some trouble in corporate America. But this would be SUCH a funny middle name. Funny, not mature, sophisticated, or nice-sounding.

I always wondered how was this name connected to the Devil. It always reminded me of bees. Blah, horrible, horrible, stinging name. I would use it as a name for a character on a short story. It would be funny.

I like this name, but I dislike the devil connotations. I only like it because it is a name in Bohemian Rhapsody, and it sounds cool!

This name is just cruel to be using. It sounds like a name that Satanists would name their kid. I doubt anyone has ever used it, though.

When Jesus was casting out demons, the Pharisees accused him of driving out demons by the power of Beelzebub, prince of demons. Beelzebub is known as one of the seven princes of Hell. So yeah, this is not a name to name your child.

For the sake of your reputation, please do not name your child Beelzebub. Even if it didn't have satanic ties and a horrible meaning, it just doesn't sound like a nice child name. I only picture an insect or a big, scary, grumbling monster.
