Re: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden named their son...
Raddix reminds me of Maddox but more rad. I can imagine a sci-fi inspired metal band with this name. Cardinal would be cute if it were just the bird, but there is also the Catholic clergy and cardinal sins, which is weird and emo. It isn't an awful name, and I like it better than Dove, Toucan, Mallard, or Crane. But I like Robin, Hawk, Raven or even Finch better.

Cardinal sins is an interesting association. I did think of the adjective, but it seems neutral/positive to me (if anything, I associate a compass, like "cardinal directions"). The clergy thing I overlook because the bird is my strongest association, and Bishop is a semi-common name anyway. It's also a flower.
