The border of hell definitely has some bad connotations to it. There are plenty of citations to back me up on this. Milton, Shakespeare, Johnson all use limbo with meanings equivalent to "oblivion", "prison" or "hell." With this in mind it seemed to me a little mean-spirited of the church fathers that chose this name since the folks who inhabit limbo are actually pretty good people.
