HelpRe: Atheists giving their kids Biblical names
in reply to a message by Myosotis
Ah, use Ephraim anyway! Say you heard it on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Sure, HE was named after the Bible, but you don't have to be pinned down to someone else's association with a name.
Believe me, I have heard enough "oh, you must like gruesome movies" when they hear "Clarice and Nadine". Just because other's think of something when they hear a name, it's not your problem.
Still, if I was adamantly against something, I suppose I couldn't use a name that goes along with it.

Yah, this is my feeling about it. As a Christian, I am unlikely to use names strongly association with Cuddhism, Hinduism, mythology, Islam, etc. It just doesn't seem right.

Ooh, good point! I didn't think of that, and I have watched about half of it haha. For me it's kind of like using a name from a fandom I'm not in. Doesn't feel quite right somehow, and relgion can get a bit more complicated of course.
And for the record I don't think of horror with Clarisse and Nadine, they're just wonderful names :).
