Judge wants ban on strange names

[Evilmonkeysniper0182]

A judge in the Dominican Republic wants to ban parents from giving their children exotic names like Dear Pineapple.
The proposed rules would also stop parents from naming their offspring after car brands and cartoon characters.
Mazda Altagracia, Toshiba Fidelina, Seno Jimenez (Breast Jimenez), Querida Pina (Dear Pineapple), Tonton Ruiz (Dummy Ruiz) and Querido Familia Perez (Dear Family Perez) are among the unique names listed in the nation's civil registry.

I mean come on people what right has a judge got to say what names parents can name they own kids

mcfarty pants the 3rd
spongebob (bob for short)
hilter

all good names to me (hilter was a joke one before i get any hate mail)

Actually a few months back there was a whole hullabaloo about some guy and his three year old son, Adolf Hitler Campbell's birthday cake.

While a judge shouldn't be able to say "No you can't do that", there are some things that parents shouldn't subject their children to either.

I agree with this judge.

Can't go around calling you kids "Colourful Tulip Face" anymore can you? Fuckwits.

 

[ExodusinFlames]

There are certain limits which are pushed though naming.
Apple
Dweezil and Moon Unit - Thank you Zappa
Piper Maru
Anastasia Beaverhausen

I'll stop now.

Can someone please define 'Strange' for me?? ok there is kinda strange and then there is just plain out fucked... but really it's up to the parents what effect does it have on anyone else apart from the child it's family... i wouldn't mind a unique name...

I intend to have a child named "Vash the Stampede" and another child named "L." They will probably hold a grudge against me until they see Trigun and Deathnote but they will have geek cred.

So a man who wears a wig and gown to work wants to tell me what's strange?

 

[ExodusinFlames]

There are just some cases where people are taking the "Dave Attell" theory.
"I just want to have a kid so I can name something"

Seriously, if you want to give something a strange name, get a cat or dog or whatever, and spare the child the taunting, teasing, or asskicking they'll get in school for having an unusual name.

I intend to have a child named "Vash the Stampede" and another child named "L." To protest this idea.

Those children had both better grow up to be freaking awesome, or I will find you.

 

[Skeleon]

Can't say I disagree.
I know that somebody wanted to name their child "Atomkind" which means "atomic child". Seriously, how far would you go in the business world (or life in general) with a name like that?

 

[dalek sec]

I'm with the judge on this one.

 

[ExodusinFlames]

Why torture a poor, defenseless animal, when I can torment a small, obnoxious human child?

Because then the obnoxious child would not only resent the parent, but would as a direct result lash out at their surroundings and give us more to complain about with regards to the youth of today.

And don't forget Dildo Teabaggins

I reckon that there should be a ban on stupid names, I think about all the children who are growing up with these names and I feel sorry for them. Imagine in the future Adolf Hitler Campbell trying to get work. Its just stupid, I feel silly for complaining about my own name.

 

[ExodusinFlames]

Amen, Sibbo

True, but a parent should not have the right to force a child to bare the names:

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii
Sex Fruit
Keenan Got Lucy
Yeah Detroit
Number 16 Bus Shelter
Violence
Midnight Chardonnay
