[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it and considered it for a middle name.  Didn't end up using it because a close friend's late mother's maiden name was Bishop and I suspected she might want to use it if she has a second son.  I'm not sure if she is thinking of using it as a middle or first name, but I think it sounds nice either way.  Although, I am not Catholic so I don't have the "religious title" association at all.  To me it is just a surname being used as a first or middle name.

At the end of the day, everyone is going to have some association with the name you choose, and unless it is their own kid's name odds are the association is either negative or goofy or undignified (e.g., I knew a ______ in high school and he was a jerk, my cousin's dog's name is _______, _________ was a character in [book, movie or tv show you've never read/seen]).  Unless the name is overtly sexual or scatological, or infamous like Adolf or Saddam or Osama, you shouldn't worry about other people's associations. Go with what you like and what has positive associations for you -- no one else (besides your DH and the child himself) is going to have to live with the name every day.  [/quote]

I dunno if I go along w/ this logic.  I'm not Jewish, but I wouldn't name a child "Rabbi," because I know that to MANY people, the name is a religious title.  [/quote]

Is Rabbi and Bishop really comparable tho?  Nope.  So this is a goofy thought.[/quote]

why are they not comparable?  they are both titles related to different religions.[/quote]
