[Facts] "Negative" names
I'm curious about a particular type of given names. The names that carry an apparently/possible negative/unpleasant meaning.
For example, the Spanish language seems to have planty of quaint names: Dolores (pains), Angustias (anguishes), Piedad (pity), Soledad (solitude), Olvido (oblivion), Martirio (martyrdom).
Some Italian names are Addolorata (grieving), Fosco (gloomy), Crocifisso (crucified), Modesto (modest), Ultimo (last), Zerbino (doormat).
Or Latin Claudius (lame).
Do you have any other example?
