    What shall I call him?

    Seriously!

    Do they even like their child?

    A mother of four has defended her decision to name her son Lucifer, as trolls say it's an abomination.
    Ronni Lily, 27, and her partner, Brad, welcomed little Lucifer Ashley on January 20 of this year and reckon it's a 'pretty cool' choice - but not everybody agrees. The Birmingham-based couple decided on the name when Ronni was 16 weeks pregnant, after being inspired by the Netflix series, Lucifer.

    I totally support them. Think I've said it before but, as an H P Lovecraft fan, I wanted to name our twin sons Cthulhu and Yog-Sothoth. The missus wouldn't let me.

    Updatipoo: Oh, no, it was Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep.

      I always liked the name Lauralanthalasa, at least it could be shortened for pronunciation

        There were a couple of bishops in the early church named Lucifer.

        Re: Lovecraft. My daughter is a primary school teacher. She was marking their work, and asked me "How do you spell Cthulu?". I wasn't expecting that!

        I can recommend the The Lovecraft Investigations on BBC Sounds.

          How do you pronounce it even harder. Might have a go at that BBC Sounds thing. Nowt helps you sleep better than listening to a nice horror story while lying in bed.

            I always wanted to name one of my children Nebuchadnezzar. Thought it was a cool name with Matrix undertones. Thankfully I've never had kids.

                  He's still got time.

                  He wants to have as many children as possible as he wants his genes spread around.

                    Time would be W, X, Y and Z.
