I can’t remember what radio program it was but some language researchers were talking about a survey they did of how pretty (I can’t remember if if was specifically medical) words are and they mentioned that a lot of people find the word Chlamydia very pretty

If instead of ignoring meaning, we ignored cultural context, Lucifer is a great one. Sounds nice, means light bringer.
The cultural context on this is weird, because it’s even used for Jesus in the book of Revelation.
Do you have a source for that? I’m curious.
Wikipedia has a very thorough write-up on Lucifer as a name in the Bible, though it doesn’t directly mention the Revelations chapter.
It’s worth noting three things:
- The Isaiah usage is from Hebrew הֵילֵל בֶּן־שָׁחַר Hēlēl ben Shāḥar, “bright son of the dawn” or “bright son of the [Canaanite] god Shāḥar’” - the Greek and subsequent Latin translations meaning “light-bearer” or “morning star” should be taken with a grain of salt.
- The Revelations usage is from Greek ὁ ἀστὴρ ὁ λαμπρός, ὁ πρωϊνός o astír o lamprós, o proïnós, “the bright and morning star”.
- I’m not aware of any material conceptual link between the two. They were written nearly a millennium apart, so there’s plenty of cultural shift and difference in linguistic context.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendent of David, **the bright morning star**.” - Revelation 22:16
Luci as a nickname, of course
Violence, especially if said in a french accent. Also, Malaria and Ebola for twins.
Valencia hits close. Or Violeta.
I think Mutiny, Heresy, and Larceny would work.
Omg you’re right these would be cute names. Especially Larceny

Sounds like one of those gothic names that doesn’t fit the woman until she’s around 60. Aunt Chlamydia, or something.
