[Opinions] Re: Would you name your son "Angry"?!
I understand that connection, and I think my tone in the original post is a wee bit more harsh than I intended. It still seems a little bizarre to me- introducing yourself as "Hi, I'm Cross!" has the same effect to me as "Hi, I'm Irritated!"-I'm in Canada, and it may be that cross (as in angry) is used more here and in Australia and the UK than it is in the US. Still, that means that it wouldn't translate well outside of America.While I think I understand the appeal of the crucifix meaning, I also find names like Genesis, Trinity, Nevaeh, etc, a bit unsubtle, and Cross fits into that genre, imo. Apologies if the tone offended you in the original post, it wasn't meant to.
