Hi--
I did a search on the forum to see if this had been covered, but I couldn't find anything (if I just missed a topic, I'm sorry!). I was just curious as to what people think about using the names of deities for one's children, or even for usernames online: flattering, or disrespectful? I know in a lot of faiths, choosing the names of religious figures is a very good thing to do, but in others, it's kind of like calling yourself (or whoever) one. I can understand both viewpoints, but if there's any sort of common consensus amongst pagans I'd love to know.
