Why is it acceptable to name your child Cain?

I'm no Bible scholar but wasn't Cain a real jerk?

Nobody's names their kids after the bad guys in the Bible.

You never meet people named Judas, or Jezebel, or Lucifer.

Hell you never even meet anyone named Goliath even though he wasn't really a bad guy, just a soldier born on the other side.

Yet naming your child Cain or Kane is perfectly fine now. Even though he was the inventor of murder.

It is not a biblical thing.

People are just really big fans of the show Kung Fu
 
I knew a guy who's parents named him Adolf, the world's a wild and wacky place

I agree it's questionable. Even worse though would be to name twins Cain AND Abel.
 
People name their kids Adam ... Dude failed to keep either wife in line
Dude... Your post led me down a Google rabbit hole about Adam's other girlfriends. Namely Lilith and a woman they call "first Eve" whom God was creating right in front of Adam's eyes. God was building her from the inside out, so Adam saw all her organs and stuff and then he threw up and he could never be attracted to her, so God banished her from the garden and put Adam to sleep so he could create another woman without Adam getting grossed out.

That story is fucking hilarious and makes me think the first draft of the Bible must have been a comedy.

Of course Lilith and first Eve didn't make the final cut of the Bible, so they only exist in some ancient Jewish texts.
