Naming a baby Jezebel a sin?

Question

I am Christian , ill admit I am far from perfect but I don't want to do something I can regret later . I am 3 months pregnant and I was reading a blog today named Jezebel . My husband saw me and said that would be a beautiful name for our baby if shes a girl . I agree its a beautiful name but I know the Bible's story of Jezebel . She was an evil corrupt woman who did a lot of harm . So would it be Anti-Christian of me to name my baby like her ?

You shouldn't name your child something she will be teased and mocked about by the other children and adults. 

It's not a sin; but it shows insensitivity and lack of common sense. 

It would be like me naming my son Stalin.

Jezebel is a pretty name.

Just because some sheep herding jew branded it as evil, doesnt make it so.

@kdanley: there are many people called Cain.

to name your child after Jezebel would be to give honor to her. Why would you want to do that? There are many names in the bible from God-fearing women, I would choose one of those and save my daughter from the humiliation she will encounter later on by giving her such a seductive name. You would be "setting her up" for much heart ache.

It would probably be a bad idea if you run in Christian circles.  People are judgmental.
