I couldn’t believe this when I read it. A judge rules that a couple must choose a different FIRST name for their child.
They were in court because they could not find agreement with each other on their child’s LAST name.
Is this judge overstepping?
I mean, we live in a nation where parents are pretty much free to pick for their child any idiotic name that occurs to them.
Having spent many years teaching in inner city areas, I’ve certainly encountered worse.
And famed celebrities have come up with such gems as North West and Pilot Inspektor. And years ago we had Moon Unit and Dweezil (Zappa) to cite just a few examples.
