"Under French law, a court can ban parents from giving their child a name that they deem to be against the childs interest. In recent years, courts in France have intervened to prevent children from being named Nutella, Fraise (French for strawberry), Joyeux (French for happy), MJ (after Michael Jackson), Manhattan and Deamon, among others. Ironically, this is actually representative of more lax regulations in France. Prior to 1993, parents had to choose a name from a government-mandated list of approved monikers, but that was scrapped under President Francois Mitterands administration." ... Copied to Clipboard!

Bravo to France.
Stop giving your kids such stupid fucking names. Heck the examples in post #4 aren't even close to the stupid shit that people name kids in the U.S. The standard's so low here that those all sound fairly reasonable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

While in theory, the parents should name her whatever they want, considering the way society is now, no, it's not okay. If you don't name your child something "reasonable", you can open them up to possible bullying or discrimination.

Link doesnt work for me but I found the story.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/french-parents-taken-court-giving-180356320.html However, the country is making headlines for a recent case in which parents decided to name their daughter Liam. While unisex names are common in the Western countries, the name is traditionally given to boys -- and only boys, believes French prosecutors. --- https://i.imgur.com/ZwO4qO2.gifv Bluer than velvet was the night...

I like the Danish on this one... Basically, if the name isn't from a pre-approved list it's banned. Too many kids have edge lord parents that end up selfishly fucking them over. I'm glad somebody is compassionate.

My friend worked at GS, and some neckbeard tried boasting to her about naming his kids Tidus and Auron, but she had no filter and just said "wow! Your kids are gonna hate you!" He got all defensive and blurted out "well people call their kids Mario and Luigi..." She shut him down with a "maybe they're just Italian."
