This question you posed reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld when Elaine is dating that guy who she really likes except that he is named after one of the worst serial killers in all of NYC history so she tries to get him to legally change his name. It was something like Chuck Ripley. It sounded serial killer-ish. I guess taking a lesson from that show, I would simply need to put it aside if I felt strongly enough for the person. It’s never a good idea to attempt to conform a significant other to what we need for them to be. The boyfriend's name was Joel Rifkin....she wanted him to change it to OJ Rifkin. hahahah Why does that name sound so much like a serial killer? I guess it was just the show.

I have a hard time with a name like Ralph. To it just sounds like something that you should be doing over a toilet.

Nope, not for the most part, but my humor gets the best of me sometimes.... and well, that usually doesn't end well...

That name would not be so uncommon. I imagine after these events took place, and there was heavy media coverage, a lot of people might have chosen to change their name if it was something associated with a horrible criminal. I could see that happening. Not everyone but some would just to not have to put up with it on a daily basis.

think I'd be a little sceard of dating anyone named Lilith

All she was essentially was the first wife of Adam and she refused to sort of give in and remain "passive". She wasn't used to that treatment and who could blame her.
