Comments for the name Buddha

Comments for BUDDHA:

Naming your child 'Buddha' is like naming you child 'God.' It is a title that belongs to a god. It would be a great honor to have this name, but think of the pressure on the person with the name. It would be difficult to be as good as the name.

Actually means "The Awakened (or Enlightened) One". It is really only a title, like Swami or Sensei. Buddha's real name was Siddhartha Gotama.

I once met a woman who was willingly and universally called Buddha. Her birth name, however, was Susan.

I think it would be very weird to have the name Buddha. Unless, of course, you were giving it its proper usage as a title. Then that wouldn't necessarily be so strange. But to have Buddha as your given name? That just strikes me as really, really weird.

This sounds ridiculous and blasphemous to be using. It's like naming your child Christ. It sounds insulting to Buddhists.
