/ Mom / Child / England: Parents allowed to give their baby an amazing name!
When it comes to choosing the first name of your child, the trend is for originality! This is the case of this English family who fought for a long time to obtain the legal name Lucifer for their baby.
Finding a first name for your child is a personal task and when someone prevents you from calling your child by the first name you are personally attached to, frustration can be great. Especially when they use their creativity to give their offspring the most original first name possible.
In an interview with The Sun tabloid, Dan and Mandy Sheldon, a couple from England, revealed how they fought at the registration office to get a very amazing name for their 4 month old baby. This is Lucifer!
"He will not succeed in his life"
Hard to hear words… Dan Sheldon explains in the columns of The Sun that the official in charge of the registration tried to dissuade them from giving this first name, associated in the Christian religion with the figure of the devil. “We were really excited to get it recorded but the agent looked at us in disgust. She told us that he will not find a job and that the teachers will not want to teach him, I tried to explain to him that we are not religious people and that Lucifer in Greek means bearer of light ”, says he at the tabloid.
After much effort, the bold parents finally won their case. According to them, the agent really reluctantly did it: “We thought it was a beautiful and unique name, we didn't expect it to be so much of a problem. "
A first name banned in many countries
Derbyshire Regional Council was keen to react to the controversy: “We apologize if they have been offended, but it is the job of our registrars to advise them on these matters, because sometimes people are not. not aware of certain meanings or associations around certain names. "
You should know that the first name Lucifer is strictly forbidden in New Zealand, Germany but also in Iceland. The British, for their part, will now have a Lucifer in their population!
