Naming your new child after a character in the Bible is becoming increasingly popular . I know several people who have gone down this bizarre road . Of course many name their children after favourite films , books or sports personality's , so where is the problem then ? Well funnily I find using Bible names to be close to blasphemy . It just doesnt seem right or respectful . Maybe its reducing the scriptures to a form of entertainment from which to draw baby names from . I feel this is wrong . Stick to choosing names from trivial things like books , films and T.V shows .
Of course I wonder at peoples motives for choosing Bible names . Are they trying to get some of the " magic " of the Holy Spirit to rub off on them ? They are playing a very dangerous game . Of course they probably dont even think that deeply about this . More's the pity too . I often write about the power of associating ones outlook with Archetypal characters , and of course Occult ideas tell us of the power they posses . Is this what they are trying to achieve ( subconsciously ) when naming their child ? I feel its a little elitist and arrogant using Bible names on your offspring . No I dont like it at all . Who knows what you have unleashed . Images and legends have power . Fact . Be careful what you associate with . There are certain Biblical things I wont name on here, and thats just a casual association , to name my child after such things would have me quaking in my boots !
