Do Parents Name their Children "Lucifer"?

Mr Andrew asked the Literature class to see if the name "Lucifer" is included under baby names. While I couldn't it in any baby name websites, Yahoo!Answers had this:

My husband and I have actually had that discussion. Lucifer, if you can get beyond its traditional usage, is really a beautiful name. It means "bringer of light" or "morning star," and it flows nicely. Unfortunately, most people will not be able to get beyond the fact that it has been used as an alternate name for Satan. We just had to ditch the idea when we thought of what my husband's very traditional grandmother would say...So in summary, Lucifer is a very pleasant-sounding name with a nice meaning, but it is probably not a good thing to actually name a child. I'm hoping that somebody has the guts to reclaim it, but it won't be me.

Well... sounds like quite a nice name for such an evil person...

Sorry, More Ophelia

I know I shouldn't be encouraging this...

Ophelia by Arthur Rimbaud

Ophelia
by Arthur Rimbaud
translated by Oliver Bernard, Collected Poems (1962)

I

On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophelia floats like a great lily;
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils...
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort.

For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river.
For more than a thousand years her sweet madness
Has murmured its ballad to the evening breeze.

The wind kisses her breasts and unfolds in a wreath
Her great veils rising and falling with the waters;
The shivering willows weep on her shoulder,
The rushes lean over her wide, dreaming brow.

The ruffled water-lilies are sighing around her;
At times she rouses, in a slumbering alder,
Some nest from which escapes a small rustle of wings;
- A mysterious anthem falls from the golden stars.

II

O pale Ophelia! beautiful as snow!
Yes child, you died, carried off by a river!
- It was the winds descending from the great mountains of Norway
That spoke to you in low voices of better freedom.

It was a breath of wind, that, twisting your great hair,
Brought strange rumors to your dreaming mind;
It was your heart listening to the song of Nature
In the groans of the tree and the sighs of the nights;

It was the voice of mad seas, the great roar,
That shattered your child's heart, too human and too soft;
It was a handsome pale knight, a poor madman
Who one April morning sate mute at your knees!

Heaven! Love! Freedom! What a dream, oh poor crazed Girl!
You melted to him as snow does to a fire;
Your great visions strangled your words
- And fearful Infinity terrified your blue eye!

III

- And the poet says that by starlight
You come seeking, in the night, the flowers that you picked
And that he has seen on the water, lying in her long veils
White Ophelia floating, like a great lily.
