LUCIFER IS BORN : Couple Battled To Name Son Lucifer In New Zealand

Lucifer has been born and christened in New Zealand. A couple who live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire just won the case to name their son “Lucifer”.

NAIJA NEWS NG brings you the story of how the Registrar tried to frustrate them to make them change their mind . The Registrar tried to convince them to make a different choice of name but they refused saying they are not religious people.

The couple insisted that Lucifer is a great name which means Light-Bringer in Greek language.

The husband, Dan a plant hire boss , lodged a complaint over the manner the Registrar treated them at the council office for registration when it reopened after the COVID-19 lockdown.

Dan said;

“We were really excited to go and get him registered but the woman looked at us in utter disgust.

“She told us he would never be able to get a job, and that teachers wouldn’t want to teach him.

“I tried to explain that we are not religious people, and Lucifer in Greek means ‘light-bringer’ and ‘morning’ but she wouldn’t listen.

“She even told us that it was illegal to name a child that in New Zealand and that maybe we could name him something else but refer to him as Lucifer at home.”

Couple win battle to name their son

Following the couple’s insistence on naming their son “Lucifer”, they were asked to leave the room while the official checked if she was allowed to register the boy with the Satanic title.

Dan added:

“We were gobsmacked with her behaviour.

“Eventually she did it, but it was through gritted teeth.

“Honestly, we just thought it was a nice name . . . a unique one. We didn’t expect to get so much grief about it.”

New Zealand, which has tougher restrictions on naming children, has Lucifer on a list of banned names published in 2013, along with “Christ” and royal titles such as “King”, “Prince” and “Princess”. A spokesperson for Derbyshire County Council said the registrar had done the right thing by raising her concerns about the couple’s choice of name before allowing it.

The spokesperson said;

“Our registrar felt it was her duty to ensure the couple were aware the name Lucifer had negative connotations and that their son may encounter issues with the name through his life due to its associations.”

The registrar contacted the General Register Office for further guidance, and an official at the General Register Office agreed she had acted correctly in advising the parents “with the best interests of the child in mind”.

The spokesperson further said;

“Despite the advice, the couple said they still wished to proceed and name their son Lucifer, and the registrar continued with the registration.

“We apologise if they were offended but it is the job of our registrars to advise in these matters as sometimes people are not aware of certain meanings or associations around certain names.”
