Not the first
Similar controversies have arisen before, including a 2020 case in Derbyshire, when parents Dan and Mandy Sheldon named their son the same name and were met with resistance from a registrar.
“She told us he would never be able to get a job, and that teachers wouldn’t want to teach him,” Dan Sheldon told The Sun. “Honestly, we just thought it was a nice name…a unique one. We didn’t expect to get so much grief about it.”
‘Lucifer, the legend’
Still, Ronni remains confident in her decision and says there is nothing ‘devilish’ about her son, who she described as a “cheeky chap.
“Of course we are aware of a certain connotation,” Ronni said. “But we are not religious.”
After years of defending her choice, Ronni says she has no regrets about naming her baby boy after the leading character in the Netflix show Lucifer, a dark comedy starring Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar.
“He is Lucifer, the legend,” Ronni told Metro. “There is nothing negative about his name.”
