But then again, that just plain sounds Communist.

It’s a difficult issue; you can’t legislate stupidity, or whatever it is that motivates people to name their kids something guaranteed to make them a target of ridicule.

Having said that, we here in Mass. have a bunch of laws that are designed to save us from our stupid side, as I know you are aware …

Did you have fish?<br/><br/>@Gillian: The story indicated near the bottom that New Zealand had an existing law forbidding parents to name their children with "embarassing" names. In the case of Talula with a Hula from Hawaii, the parents broke the law so the court took custody.<br/><br/>At least that's my interpretation. @Will: How was lunch? Did you have fish?

I went through my childhood with the “stigma” of an unusual name (for the U.S.) and went by “Jill” for most of my life, until I moved to Mass.

At some point, you come to terms with your given name – or you change it!

Maybe the girl begged the judge to make such a move, which does seem overly intrusive …

Anyway, what I really wanted to say was “Yay Ari” for writing “I feel bad for …” instead of “I feel badly for ..”

It is the parents' right, but they should still have to answer to someone.<br/><br/>But more importantly, you got me in the mood for Fish and Chips, so it's time to go have lunch.
