This story is from Wales? Where they have towns named Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and Cwmystwyth?
And they have a problem with "Cyanide"?

Those names are not deadly poisons.

You would name her after the queen of the underworld? I agree, it's a pretty name, but Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and forced to be his wife.

Mom wanted to name me Arabella Irene.
I don't mind that, but I do like the name I have.
I LOVE the name Bellaphronsia, but I can't imagine a child appreciating it.

I wish I had a cool name.

We have a nurse named Baby Ruth. Named after the candy bar.

She's well into her 40's so I doubt it.

I don’t like the name, but should a judge really have the ability to demand it be changed?
Ugh.

Should you be able to name your kid Fvck Off Jones?

msrock · Guru

How about Boston Bomber Davis? I think somebody needs to step in. I hate that but it is what it is.

It really isn't a judges business.

It's taking a right away from the parent.

If the kid wants to change it later, fine.

What's the next thing a judge will take?

It really is everyone's business when a parent writes Adolf Hitler Smith on a birth certificate. They are using their child to make some weird wacko statement. And I really hate to say it, but in these extreme cases it needs to be vetoed. I don't think the kid should have to go through 18 years of life until they can change that. Some people are too ignorant to get to decide something as simple as a name. And trust me, I only support in extreme circumstances a judge's intervention.

And I don't agree.

It was Adolph Hitler Campbell and his siblings Joycelynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler.

If anyone remembers, we had that article a while back.

Yes, I remember that!

And I agree that intervention should be in "extreme circumstances."

What's wrong with Bethany?

I was almost a Marsha.

If I had had a girl, Bethany would probably have been her middle name.

I agree. If the parent is too ignorant or self indulgent to choose a decent name then the courts should intervene on behalf of the child.

I'm not a Bethany type. I'm way to plain for that kind of a name. She also wanted to name me Randi (with an i) after my dad. He vetoed that, too. I'm not peppy enough to have a name that ends with an i anyway.
