I know a guy who named his first daughter Anakin.

He's also a dumbass libertarian so I'm not entirely sure how he'd respond if this happened to him, no idea if "personal liberty" outweighs "step on me corpodaddy" for those morons.

they're just trying to save people from themselves.

like everyone who named their daughter 'Khaleesi' in season 2-4 of game of thrones. they probably got pretty worried when they watched season 8.

I have a feeling that there are a lot fewer kids named Karen these days already due to the association it has online.

disney has no grounds when it comes to the loki part. Just the skywalker part. Not that they should have grounds for skywalker either.

IIRC, the Anakin name is Hebrew and Lucas just threw it in there with all his made up space names. So I think Disney would have a tougher time claiming ownership over that one.

Yeah, feel like a lot of people are just going to automatically assume this is Disney doing it and not the British government. Regardless...

The family was reportedly able to resolve the issue and will travel to the Dominican Republic as planned.

If Loki Skywalker is from Norse Mythology then British Government is ignorant.

I say it is up to the kid to decide if the name rules or sucks.

Internet says Neil Gaiman made up Loki Skywalker.

Loki's been referred to as "Sky Traveler" for a long time, but "Skywalker" is definitely newer.

Most of the time if you run into someone named 'Thor' they're not named after the comic book character; it is far more likely the actual Norse god than that.

Sad to read that since its clear he had problems that he was working through in addition to his disability and his mother tried her best to nurture and raise him.
