Country:  | Matt:
Theoretically no one should care what names parents give to their babies. It is their business, we know that.
We should not care if a father names his son Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, Deicide, Samael, Smashin Pumpkins or The Doors.
That should look neat on a surgeonīs presentation card: The Doors Smith M.D.
Or what if a father who is a frenzied fan of The Beatles decides to name his first baby Sgt. Pepperīs Lonely Hearts Club Band?
We should not care, but there are times when these parents simply overlook the consequences of their children bearing such "original" names.
What i do find ridiculous is the fact the parents of Metallica (see? this is how conversations of the future in the case of this child will sound like  ) took the whole issue to a court. It was not just like "Oh well...they are not allowing us to give the baby this name..letīs think of another one then...". No. They are stubborn and are in court. Stupid.

Country: | Udet. The gov't's primary directive should not be to ensure stupidity is banned. Freedom man. If the gov't regulated stupidity, I would be the only solopsist on the planet.
When in highschool in an unnamed souther state (Alabama..cough, cough), I went to school with a black gent whose rather prodigeous siblings were all named after precisous stones. Opal, Diamond, Ruby, Topaz, Pearl, Onyx, Emerald, and some others that I can't recall. I'm sure they are all now world leaders and company CEOs.
The world population's intelligence is mapped on a bell curve. Gov't may regulate against stupid names, but they can't regulate that some people will never amount to anything more than a toiler scrubber. And that's okay!!! It's the socialist gov'ts that want to pay them the same as neurosurgeons that are wrong.

Country: | What I find most disturbing about your idea, Udet, is the fact that you're requesting the Government to ban stupidity. You are talking about the government here, they'd be banning themselves...
Hmmm... good idea.

Country: | Come on guys, i was only taking my idea into the ridiculous environment; the parents of that child are ridiculous people so i decided to follow that path. Of course governments are not to pass any laws which might "ban" stupidity.
Just think of a gang of bureaucrats trying to come up with a draft defining what stupidity is...scary to say the least. Matt, i get your point and of course it is more than obvious there are people on earth who think calling a daughter Metallica is perfectly cool.
Just remember what i said here: there will come the day, real soon, when teachers will have Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Tweetie, Elmer Fudd, Pepé Le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Petunia Pig and many others in the class; it will be a time to have great fun.

Come a time? This is a country where people name their kids Moesha, D'aryl, Tallulah, la'Shonda, Gentilia, Clymidia, etc.
You get my drift.

Country: | MAtt:
I know, iīve had the chance of meeting several guys and girls in the USA bearing such mainstream names.
What we could conclude is that if these tpye of names are becoming common, everywhere, we shall not feel surprised regarding names in the future when parentsīmadness reaches its zenith.

Country:  | I dont particularly want my children to have common names like Nick and Mike or anything like that but I would never go over the edge like thes people did.
My kids would be named Caitlin, Piper, Chris (yeah I want a JR or a II in my family), and probably James.
Okay yeah Chris and James are pretty common, and ofcourse I probably wont have 2 girls and 2 boys so that I can name them all that!

Country:  | I heard that on the radio a few days back... Just immagine the 15 year old girl in high school...
"Teacher : ... Metallica ?
Metallica : (Empty her bottle of beer.) Buuuuuuurp ! Present, bitch."
Not sure that would turn me on... If I was 15, I mean. | |
