as an atheist, doesn't exactly do a lot for the name. I do like some Biblical names and all, and ones with
Christian or other religious-themed meanings or connections (
Abraham,
Jeremiah,
Solomon,
Christopher, whatever else) but
Christian to me is more of a label than a name. Since it's a label that I completely reject for myself I don't think I'd bestow it on my child. Ditto that for any other outright religious label whether it happens to be generally acceptable as a name or not.
If I was in your shoes without all of my own personal connotations, I still wouldn't use it. You don't love it and that's reason enough.
