Bearing in mind the last article said no one named their baby Nigel then only one lucifer would beat it.

Any ideas what Muhammad would be if you rolled all the spellings up in to one? I imagine it's going to be way in front of Oliver.

The ONS do roll up all the spelling variations to compile the over all list. You can then see the different spellings broken down. I only know because every few years I play around with it.

Anyway Mohammed is number 5. (See what I did there?)

How many different ways can you spell Noah?

Wailers only care about those named after Nigel and Katie. If we don’t name children after the saints of the country, what hope have we?

God botherers only care about works of fiction detailing their magical sky friends and the people they duped into writing them?

A lot of them are reclaiming the word from Canaanite myth. Lucifer is Latin for bringer of light, Lucis, an inflected form of Lux and fero - to carry. There were very few male first names in the Roman word, one of them being Lucius which was given to those born at dawn. The goddess Juno Lucina (meaning she who brings into the light) was the main female fertility deity who also helped at birth and had a shrine on the Esquiline Hill. It was here that they held the Matronalia in early March, yep you guessed it, it became the Church sanctioned Mothers Day. After the goths had destroyed the temple the Church built their major shrine to Mary near the spot and even reused some of the columns inside - Santa Maria Maggiore.

When I did Latin at school all the men, plus all the women, whether they were real or fictional had first names.
