I was searching google for interesting names, and stumbled across this article!

I'm not sure how old it is, or if y'all have already seen it. But if not, I'll post it here anyways :)

Top 10 Illegal Baby Names

What are your thoughts on this?

In a sense, I'm glad they have illegal baby names! Parents shouldn't be able to give their child a name that will make them socially inept or whatever. However, the Portuguese naming law seemed intense... Having a book you must look through stating what you can and can't use :) I mean, it protects children. But I dunno, seems a bit harsh. For the better or worse, who knows! :)

I don't agree with it. I know some parents come up with some stupid and ridiculous names like Talula in Hawaii one, but I don't think the government should be able to have control over it.

The Friday and Wednesday names, they shouldn't have been banned in my opinion. I have heard a lot worse than that.

In some cases... I don't know I guess I sort of get it. Imagine being named bkuerfbkhwrfbvfhkwhvoriuhvyigfrwyuogtvuywrggvyurbwtv? That's just cruel! Or @? Seriously?

Did you guys hear about those twins... Dewan & Deodawan? (the one and the other one?)

That's kinda what I think too <3 of course, I guess it is especially good when you have a socially unacceptable word as a name- cause that there is kinda abusive in a way! It's hurtful! Though the gov shouldn't be able to say what's okay and not, I think a good alternative would be to give kids the option to change their names once their old enough to realize this. Not just an any kid can, one where you can prove your name is hurtful to you :)

Friday and Wednesday truly aren't that bad though! It was names like "Sex Fruit" I saw on one list, that I have to say is beyond inappropriate to name your kid!
