Why is it acceptable to name your child Cain?

No it's not actually. He really is named like that and he was the police chief of a brazilian state. His full name is Hitler Mussolini Domingues Pacheco. You can look it up
 
I've genuinely wondered this about Cain Velasquez for years.

Maybe some Christians think Cain repented and became an ok guy who built a city? Or they just don't care? Maybe they just want a nice-sounding name from the early bible?
Maybe they want to use it as a lesson for their kid, like "cain sinned by murder, but then god made clearer rules later so that we know not to sin". Dunno.
It is interesting that it only seems to be in a couple of Christian countries and not the others. Maybe it became common due to another meaning and then just became culturally normal. Like Michael Cane the actor, the name sounds the same but has a different origin.

I know Muslims aren't allowed names to do with war, sin or killing, but I checked and they have Cain repent in their scriptures, so their Cain equivalent is ok.

I may feel iffy calling a son Abel too, like I'm setting them up to be betrayed and murdered by a close friend. However, who cares after a while. A name is just some noises, it's not the person.

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.

I learned about Lilith because she was a sexy demon on Supernatural. Then the Google rabbit hole.
 
i think the obvious example here is cain velasquez. i have a feeling his parents didn't name him for the bible character. there must be some other reason why. maybe it's derived from some spanish or aztec name that is similar. or it really is and his parents are sadistic haha.

I seem to remember some white supremacist couple being denied at the Walmart bakery for wanting a Happy Birthday Adolph cake for their kid.
 
I am going to name my kitten Kayne but everyone is going to call him Kanye because they can't read.

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.

...because he has brown pride?
