Lucifer

[Craig]

enjoyed your section about how Lucifer is a hoax. My relationship with God has really went to a different level in the last 2 years. So I'm almost 18 and I have a question. If I ever have a child/boy I want to name him Lucifer. I know that his name would cause a lot of controversy, but I love the name and the meaning: bringer of light. I know it has nothing to do with Satan but other people may not. So I ask what you think about it?
Thanks for reading.

Dear Justin:  You can't be serious?  You do NOT want to name your son, "Lucifer."  It might be "cute" for you, but it will be a living nightmare for your son.

Listen, a family once named their son "Donald" because they too thought that they would be cute. All of Donald's life, he was kidded and made fun of by his classmates. Soon after graduation he couldn't take it any longer--all the kidding, and ribbing, and jeering. So he killed himself.  Oh, by the way, his parents' last name was "DUCK."  True story. Don't do it!
God be with you,
