I have a fairly normal name. I don't always like it because it was pretty popular with parents around the time that I was born though I do have the more modern spelling at least. However, I personally like unusual names.
But, even so, sometimes things go to the extreme. I don't blame the judge at all in this case except that I hope it was just a temporary removal. A phrase for a name? Seems a bit much.....
How about you? Normal or unusual?

I wonder how far the law can reach with that--in telling parents what name they can choose. Especially in a world where people CAN change their names on their own when they're older. And people go by nicknames.
I did once meet a woman at college who named her child Mary Jane Pepsi after her two favourite things: marijuana and pepsi.
I think it's just cruel selfishness and stupidity on the part of the parents. Probably heavier on the "stupidity" aspect.
