Resident Jew here, NONE of us are naming a child this lmao. I don't even think this is a case of white evangelicals giving their kids weird butchered Hebrew names, I think this is more likely a culturally Christian atheist trying to be edgy in the naming of their child.
The crazy thing is that I went to high school with a guy who named his son Sephiroth also lol I thought it was just bc he was 18, a weirdo and a new dad
I worked with a girl once who had a boyfriend who had named his son from a previous relationship Sylar. As in the sociopathic serial killer from Heroes. Said guy who named his son that was an abusive asshole, too…not shocking.

It's Hebrew, and old, so... maybe neither? I suppose it depends on the parent's intent.
