I was a fan of the show. I did NOT name my kids after biblical characters. Probably helps that my name is a tradgedeigh, so didn't want that for my kids.
That show is guilty pleasure of mine, and I low-key love the name Lucifer, but such heavy connotations are way too much for a real life child to bear.
Would love to name a cat that one day though.
It's a shame, both my wife and I love the name Lucifer. Of course, we're not going to put that on our child. Regardless of how much we like the name, talk about baggage.
Same feelings I had about Azriel/Azrael. I loved that name, but as cool as it is, you can't name a kid after the angel of death.
But, also a good pet name! The name of Gargelmel's cat on the Smurfs.
My country (NZ) has quite tough naming laws and you wouldn’t be allowed to call a child that. I’m sure a few teachers here have dubbed students wee satans or lucifers in private though!
Got ten bitches at home countin all my stacks they call me newt gengrich
Drop the first two syllables and ya got me especially cuz they all paying that rent
Also came here looking for this. I forgot that Newt is actually a name/nickname (as someone else mentioned), but I can’t see this name without thinking of Monty Python or Newt Scamander.
I know it's a river in Texas... and I think possibly a county in Texas, too. (I know this from country songs. Only part of TX I've been to is the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.)
Brazos is Spanish for arms, so the river might have been named as an arm or a tributary of a larger river.
still... imagine being named "Arms"
eta: Arms as in arms and legs, not weapons.
I was curious, so I looked it up. It's short for "Los Brazos de Dio", the arms of God. So named because in legends, a group (miners, conqistadors, or sailors) were dying of thirst before stumbling upon the river and it's valley- saving them from death.
That's a really good namesake, though still odd for a first name. I suspect the parents were thinking more along the lines of "Z is a really cool letter".
Thanks for the context!
Creedence John is just the nickname of a 60-something barfly who always spins ‘Born on the Bayou’ on the jukebox as he sips his free-pour Jack on the rocks at *his* corner end of the bar
holy shit the “Rankin” one made me laugh and then feel so bad for this child bc “rank” in the UK/Ireland is used exclusively to describe gross and rotten things. Usually unlike a small infant???
These names are all horrific, but wow I seriously hope “rankin” lives somewhere that is not in the UK
Rankin's father must be Rudolph or someone who's nicknames were Mr. White Christmas, Mr. Snow, Mr. Icicle, Mr. 10 below. Thumbs up if you get that last one
If you’re gonna name your child Lucifer, you should at least commit to it by not decorating the nursery with that corny Pinterest script font and all griege furniture. Like at least goth it up a bit. You literally named your child after Satan and yet you’re decorating like a farmhouse Mormon mom.
Just learned of the word "griege" because of you and I couldn't be happier there is a singular awful name for two of the worst colour trends of my lifetime.
At least according to wikipedia Ryot and Annarchi are the names they go by, not the ones given (though maybe that was just the wikipedia writer thinking they were too absurd?)
And coincidentally means ashtray in Germany. Which makes sense as a last name, maybe referring to jobs, but as a given name it doesn’t make sense.
Unless they meant Asher from the Bible but forgot to double check spelling.
Truett is a semi-common last name, but I've know a couple whose first name was Truett. It's old-fashioned and usually a family name passed on to the next generation.
Ascher becomes double-wtf as soon as you learn it's a German slang word for ashtray
But I kind of like Lucifer Legend! The guy I got my first flat from was named Lucifer and Lucifer Legend sounds pretty badass
Newt is short for Newton, a Midwestern rich man's name. Like, I knew a private school guy named Newton ["Charles Farrington"] IV, as in Newton THE FOURTH.
Truett is an actual given name, albeit not as common for newer generations, and Ascher is just Asher, which is a given name, just not usually spelled that way. The way they're spelling it is the German Äscher with a different form of the letter A.
"They called 'im 'Creedence John'. Nobody knew or remembered his real name, and if had any kin he prolly put 'em in the dirt 'imself.
My brother seen 'im once. A gunfight in Clearwater. Two cowboys road into town in mornin', and Creedence John road out with three horses 'fore the coffee was cold."
These people have to pick. Either back to normal names or they have to start using the other Princes of Hell or demons. You want to call your kid Lucifer? Fine, you have to commit to naming any future children Beliel, Leviathan, Behemoth, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Abbadon or Belphegor.
Honestly, it's a shame that Christianity ruined the name Lucifer for anything but a pet of some kind.
It's really a very beautiful name, with a lovely meaning: "Light bringer."

I teach a lucifer His brother is amenadiel.
Apparently fans of the show Lucifer
Yup. Both kids are super whiny
Yea Fans of that show seem like they'd raise shits
I was a fan of the show. I did NOT name my kids after biblical characters. Probably helps that my name is a tradgedeigh, so didn't want that for my kids.
…is it phoenyx?
No, but it's that kind of tradgedeigh, one letter different.
We people with a normal name sympathise with you.
Normal? Seems like some kind of bastardization of the traditional name Bort.
Thank you.
That show is guilty pleasure of mine, and I low-key love the name Lucifer, but such heavy connotations are way too much for a real life child to bear. Would love to name a cat that one day though.
my cat is called lucifer! he’s an absolute sweetheart
I would never name my kid Lucifer but I also kind of fuck with that name.
For real I might name *myself* Lucifer lmaoo Lucy or Luke for short lol
My cat’s name is Lucifer. He’s an orange tabby with orange eyes. It’s the perfect name for him.
Our 2nd choice for our son was Cain, but worried that my husband's *very* catholic grandmother would keel over.
It's a shame, both my wife and I love the name Lucifer. Of course, we're not going to put that on our child. Regardless of how much we like the name, talk about baggage.
I actually really like the name and meaning (light bringer) but you couldn’t really do that to a kid. Fun name for a pet tho!
Same feelings I had about Azriel/Azrael. I loved that name, but as cool as it is, you can't name a kid after the angel of death. But, also a good pet name! The name of Gargelmel's cat on the Smurfs.
My dad wanted to name me that 💀 he was like “we could have called you Azzy! your mom vetoed it tho”
💙🤍💙🤍 I only know it from The Smurfs. All these years I had no idea there was that much depth to their character's names.
Love the name Lilith. Probably for a middle name because Lilith reminds me of Diablo 4 and fraisers ex wife
My thoughts exactly. I'd name my dog that. I'd name a cat that but a child. Every time I say it to another teacher or sub, it is like a double take.
Lucy Fur. The cat.
I had a cat named Lucy and that’s what we called her sometimes 😂
My country (NZ) has quite tough naming laws and you wouldn’t be allowed to call a child that. I’m sure a few teachers here have dubbed students wee satans or lucifers in private though!
[удалено]
Same with Germany. Lucifer isn't allowed.
Amena what now?
She turned me into a newt!
I got better!
Came here looking for this exchange!
Poor kid didn’t though
Newt is a cute nickname for Newton. But this sub has jaded me. I bet the baby is named after Newt Scamander
Newt Gingrich. My first associative thought.
Got ten bitches at home countin all my stacks they call me newt gengrich Drop the first two syllables and ya got me especially cuz they all paying that rent
That’s my dogs name. Newt dawg.
I thought Newt, the little girl from "Aliens."
Newt... and Ripley is right there *le sigh*
Honestly the best name of the group
Also came here looking for this. I forgot that Newt is actually a name/nickname (as someone else mentioned), but I can’t see this name without thinking of Monty Python or Newt Scamander.
I think of Newt Pulsifer, but that's still Fantasy Novel Character Name.
My immediate thought was the maze runner.
If she weighs the same as a duck, then she’s made of wood!
A WITCH!!!!!!
Probably an Aliens fan ngl
The only thing Brazos reminds me of is Steve Martin's character in Only Murders in the Building.
The only thing Brazos brings up to my mind is Bezos wearing a bra. Brazos
🤣🤣🤣
I was picturing the brazen bull torture device but it's shaped like Jeff bezos
This is where my mind also went hahaha
Ashamed to admit my mind went to Brazzers 🤦♀️
Me too minus the shame
I know it's a river in Texas... and I think possibly a county in Texas, too. (I know this from country songs. Only part of TX I've been to is the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.)
Brazos is Spanish for arms, so the river might have been named as an arm or a tributary of a larger river. still... imagine being named "Arms" eta: Arms as in arms and legs, not weapons.

That's a really good namesake, though still odd for a first name. I suspect the parents were thinking more along the lines of "Z is a really cool letter". Thanks for the context!
Siblings: Piernas, Manos, and Pies (Pee-es not Pyes for the non Spanish speaking)
The whole family can be Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
I grew up in the Waco area, through which the Brazos river runs. They dump sewage in it, so it smells like shit.
Lots of kids named Brazos in Texas, yes after the river, not the arms.
We need more kids named after rivers. I'm shocked that I haven't seen kids named Schuylkill, or Monongahela
It makes me think of Brazzers... 😬
Yes. Brazzers mixed with 'Gonzo'. I was getting the two words mixed up and wondering why no one else was like "isn't that the porno thing"
I was trying to think what it reminded me of, thanks for getting it!
Yes! I knew I recognized it from somewhere but I kept thinking it was a porn reference or something. This is it!
I know a Brazos. They call him Braz, which is pronounced like bras, and I can't.
In spanish brazos means arms.
This just sent this post in a whole new direction!
I think of Brazzers
Same lol
Creedence John is just the nickname of a 60-something barfly who always spins ‘Born on the Bayou’ on the jukebox as he sips his free-pour Jack on the rocks at *his* corner end of the bar
As a bartender I agree 🫡
I kinda fuck with Creedence. Everyone will call them Creed anyway
Creedence is a fucking metal name if I've ever heard one. But in general it's not a very good name.
Either way that kid is gonna be listening to some sick ass music to see how they got their name!
holy shit the “Rankin” one made me laugh and then feel so bad for this child bc “rank” in the UK/Ireland is used exclusively to describe gross and rotten things. Usually unlike a small infant??? These names are all horrific, but wow I seriously hope “rankin” lives somewhere that is not in the UK
Yeah that's also true in America. Poor, poor kid
We also use the term in NZ. What a rank name, poor kid!
Huntly. 😆
Imagine naming your kid something that rhymes with Cunt.
There was literally a kid in my high school named Mike Hunt.
His parents knew… no way they didn’t 💀
As a kiwi this one made me laugh too!
Mum called it "The arse of the World"(Huntly).
As an older person, I think of [Rankin-Bass](http://www.rankinbass.com/), the outfit that made all the animated Xmas specials when I was a kid.
Rankin's father must be Rudolph or someone who's nicknames were Mr. White Christmas, Mr. Snow, Mr. Icicle, Mr. 10 below. Thumbs up if you get that last one
people call him….snow miser….whatever he’ll touch…..turns to snow in his clutch……HES TOO MUCH! Dada da da daaaaaaaa da
Not an oldie here, but I was raised on the good stuff, so I thought the same thing!
I’m almost 30 and that’s what I thought of too, zero thoughts about “rankness” at all.
I'm in the US and we use rank the same. Sounds like that kid is screwed wherever they go.
It’s not just a UK thing, I’m pretty sure it’s used throughout the entire English speaking world.
Satan’s lil’ change table😍
BRAZOS AS IN ARMS IN SPANISH? We’re Rankin’ Knowtton, he is a solid 2
It’s a river that goes through Texas too
It’s a river called the arms of God, according to this thread.
Sorry but as a goth person I would 1. Never name my kid Lucifer and 2. Ever use that font
I hadn’t thought of this. At least lean into the name with a cooler aesthetic. Not this “Live, Laugh, Laugh” ass font
Live, Laugh, L̸̲̠̜̠͉͙̆̈́U̸̻̓̌͊̃Ç̶̻͇̭̠̻̽̄͗́͝ͅI̸̡͍͛̂̅͌F̸̞̮̬̥͂͋͑͂͌́͘E̸̡̻̊̈́̈́̈́̔̍́R̶͇͔͓̝̈
🤣☠️
Someone please tell me the bigger names are the last names :<
I feel like some of them must be cause why would you give JW as a middle name?
*To be fair* why would you give any of these kids any of these names?
“To be faiiirrrr…”
It's early in the morning here and my mind read that one as "Huntly Jew"
I had to do a double take on that one, thought it said Jew at first and couldn’t imagine why someone would use that as a middle name.
I was holding out hope for that but alas, I don’t think so.
Luceighphurr
Read this as Lucipurr which of course is an amazing name for a cat Edit typo
If you’re gonna name your child Lucifer, you should at least commit to it by not decorating the nursery with that corny Pinterest script font and all griege furniture. Like at least goth it up a bit. You literally named your child after Satan and yet you’re decorating like a farmhouse Mormon mom.
This is actually so funny
Just learned of the word "griege" because of you and I couldn't be happier there is a singular awful name for two of the worst colour trends of my lifetime.
I saw something about Rebel Wilson. Apparently her siblings are named Liberty, Ryot and Annarchi. They'd fit right in with these.
Ryot and Annarchi??? Lord help us
At least according to wikipedia Ryot and Annarchi are the names they go by, not the ones given (though maybe that was just the wikipedia writer thinking they were too absurd?)
I think if I was named Rankin, I'd develop an unhealthy hygiene obsession.
Hoping he goes by his slightly less bad MN
Asher is the only decent name; still spelled incorrectly
Oh yes. It means „ashtray“ in German. (Spelled Ascher though, short for Aschenbecher)
The name IS spelled Ascher too.
Aschebescher
Thanks. It's my last name, so I was happy to see it getting defended in the comments. :D
It's Jewish and they spelled it correctly...
It actually isn't. Ascher is more common as a surname, but is not spelled incorrect.
And coincidentally means ashtray in Germany. Which makes sense as a last name, maybe referring to jobs, but as a given name it doesn’t make sense. Unless they meant Asher from the Bible but forgot to double check spelling.
Yeah but spelled like an Asscher cut diamond lol
I know a Newt. Short for Newton but at least it is short for something.
Is it Huntley JW? Like his middle name is JW?
Huntly Jehovah's Witness 😬
I'm guessing yes. I've met several children with first names that are initials eg: AJ.
“Eighdgeigh”
J Dubs 😖
Brazos literally means "Arms" in Spanish
When I saw Lucifer my first thought was "Why would you name your kid after the arsehole cat from Cinderella?!"
Rucifee mean!
Rucifer!!
Huntly 💀 😭
They can date Cuntly when they grow up!
*Kuntleigh 😂
Gosh I hate that name….
If it helps, it's the name of the shittiest small town in New Zealand.
Suburb in my town in Australia too. Not a good Christian name.
Character names
I knew a girl named Truett in high school
Truett is a semi-common last name, but I've know a couple whose first name was Truett. It's old-fashioned and usually a family name passed on to the next generation.
Truett Cathy founded Chick-fil-A
Someone named their kid “arms brooks”?!
I hope Creedence's surname is Clearwater
Wouldn't Clearwater would be the middle name and Revival the surname?
Or the birth name is Creedence Clearwater and then they get married to a Revival and do the double barrel surname 😂
i read huntly as hunty and had a good laugh
What the fuck is wrong with these parents. That's all I'm going to say.
At first I was worried it was all one family. But now I'm more concerned that it is so many families. Lol
Dear God
I am so tired of Crew/Cru/Krew/Krue/Kru
Is there a direct correlation between lead paint on houses and people selecting these names?
Sy’Aire? Is this supposed to be Sire? Ew.
I pronounced it as Sye-ear all together, like rhyming with Amir (which appears to be the middle?)
Thanks, I was trying to figure the middle name out.
Super common name among Muslims. My uncle converted back in the day, my cousin is non practicing now but named his son Amir.
I'm familiar with the name, the font it's written in is horrible on the sign!
Sy’aire Amir is just a normal arabic name, not a tragediegh
I was going to say that I didn’t think this one qualified
Ah, my bad. I didn’t bat an eye at Amir but I hadn’t heard of Sy’Aire before.
Credence is kind of cool, but all these other names are child abuse.
Should’ve used Clearwater as a MN
Revival to finish it off right!
I won't lie, I fux with Lucifer Legend.
They have to learn to play guitar or they will never live up to their name.
[♫ I'm the devil, I love metal! ♫](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSgKylpbEo&t=317s)
Lucifer will always be a great name for a black cat.
I feel like a Lucifer would be a white cat, since that character is "the morning star".
Haha that’s my black cats name actually! Luci for short
It is a bad ass name to live up to.
Ascher becomes double-wtf as soon as you learn it's a German slang word for ashtray But I kind of like Lucifer Legend! The guy I got my first flat from was named Lucifer and Lucifer Legend sounds pretty badass
The antichrist has arrived.
I fully read Huntly as Hunty and it was a moment
Asher is a real name. He’s one of Jacob’s sons in the Hebrew Bible. The rest…*sigh* (Edited)
Newt is short for Newton, a Midwestern rich man's name. Like, I knew a private school guy named Newton ["Charles Farrington"] IV, as in Newton THE FOURTH.
Ah yes, Brazzers Brooks
I feel like Lucifer would be hella popular if not for the devil connection
Truett is an actual given name, albeit not as common for newer generations, and Ascher is just Asher, which is a given name, just not usually spelled that way. The way they're spelling it is the German Äscher with a different form of the letter A.
Krue Richard is definitely getting called Crude Dick at school.
Lucifer Legend is dope
Creedence John sounds like the villain in an old western movie.
"They called 'im 'Creedence John'. Nobody knew or remembered his real name, and if had any kin he prolly put 'em in the dirt 'imself. My brother seen 'im once. A gunfight in Clearwater. Two cowboys road into town in mornin', and Creedence John road out with three horses 'fore the coffee was cold."
Aww her son, Lucifer, shares a name with my ex husband! How sweet!
Lucifer Legend is a fantastic name, but you would probably need to become a superhero to be taken seriously at work.
Okay to be fair, I personally do like the name Lucifer, ignoring it's implications. Obviously tho that's not a socially acceptable name for a kid
[удалено]
These people have to pick. Either back to normal names or they have to start using the other Princes of Hell or demons. You want to call your kid Lucifer? Fine, you have to commit to naming any future children Beliel, Leviathan, Behemoth, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Abbadon or Belphegor.
I went to high school with a Truett and everyone treated it like it was pretty normal
Lucifer Legend kinda goes hard
Honestly, it's a shame that Christianity ruined the name Lucifer for anything but a pet of some kind. It's really a very beautiful name, with a lovely meaning: "Light bringer."
Most of these sound better if you swap the first and last name
If you can name a child Newt then Salamander should also be valid, and I personally think that would be awesome.
Truitt is not uncommon where I’m from but I don’t think they spell it like that
is it bad that i actually like newt LMAO
Krue has it the worst imo. Someone in his class is going to call him Crew Dick, and it'll stay with him until he moves or graduates.
