I appreciate the court is looking out for the interest of the child, who is presumably too young to do that herself -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 08:06
If absurd is the only reason for rejecting the name, then no. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 07:57
small sample size but the men here are saying yes and the women are saying no. huh. -- nm - zork Jan 27, 07:46 1
- although I think I have to side with the women. Next they'll be telling us what sort of porn we're allowed to watch! -- nm - zork Jan 27, 07:48
Definitely. -- nm - Loyola Jan 27, 07:38
Yes....because while the parents think the kid's name will be unique, this becomes mental abuse for the kid as he grows up. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 27, 07:36 3

  - Do you mean unique or racial-sounding? (I've only seen research about the latter) -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 07:54 1
    - I would imagine unusual names, period. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 07:56

Named after a copyrighted product? Yes. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 07:34
i struggle with this one. i guess i would have to so "no, they shouldn't be able to do that." - Andie Jan 27, 07:34 2

- (as in, they shouldn't be able to stop a parent - parents should have final say) -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 07:34
not really no -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 07:33
