    • Gee, funny, Fatima was Mohammad's Daughter's name? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatimah

    Did Pope Benedict XIV condemn the taking of Mohammedan names? https://www.papalencyclicals.net/ben14/b14quod.htm

    • Learn something new every day.  I did not know this had ever been an issue, nor that the Church had spoken against it.


    What about "Mohammedan" names that predate Islam?   I have to think that there was a culture in place, with both pagans and Christians, and that there were indigenous names.  Possibly Mohammed was among these names --- I wouldn't have any idea.  Ditto for Fatima.


    I have to think that, in any case, the name "Fatima" now belongs to us, and could be used freely by Catholic women --- it's a very nice name.  This encyclical predated Our Lady of Fatima by ca. 150 years

    • The encyclical is addressed [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]To Our Venerable Brothers the Archbishops and Bishops as well as Our Beloved Sons, the Parish Priests and Missionaries of the Province of Albania in the year 1754. [/color]

    [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]It is a very interesting docuмent, but limited to a national grouping, albeit containing excellent directions.[/color]

    [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]In my family, the choice of names was never anything other that boldly Catholic. Names like Bede, Clement, Thomas, Bernadatte, Clare, Rita. Always a saint's name. The same went for my parents' generation, and I'd assume the preceding one.[/color]

    [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]In following generations came the "Jєωιѕн" names, Jacob, Abraham, Jonathan, Esther, Judith, Naomi.[/color]

    [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]Then came the surnames, often originating in movie stars, Clint, Scott, Taylor,Wade etc.[/color]
