Kids with stupid names...
Discussion
I honestly believe that the state should be able to veto names - if you send in paperwork with something stupid on it they should be allowed to choose a normal name instead.
For example, if you attempt to register a child called Levi, they register him as Robert, and the come round your house to tell you about the change and fine you for being a stupid

I remember a mate announcing the birth of his daughter and they'd given her the name LACY.
My other pal muttered "gonna be a slag from the off" !!
Mouthful of beer instantly turned to a high pressure mist filling the air soaking all and sundry !!

Who gets to decide whats stupid though......and what are the qualifying criteria.For example, if you attempt to register a child called Levi, they register him as Robert, and the come round your house to tell you about the change and fine you for being a stupid
.The name "Levi" isn't new by any stretch - it's etymology goes back to biblical times. Is it really any different to names like Jacob, David or John.
Surely it says more about the person making the judgement if they think the parent has named their kid after Jeans, rather than after say an ancestor of theirs, or a biblical character.
At the end of the day.....all names were made up at some point or another. Who is to say Helen or Christine weren't the "Chardonnay" or "Lambrini" of their time

And Levi Stubbs was the lead singer with the Four Tops - so it's a great name by any measure.The name "Levi" isn't new by any stretch - it's etymology goes back to biblical times. Is it really any different to names like Jacob, David or John.

I believe this is the case in France where the local Mairie has to approve the child's name. Sounds like a good idea to me.This is according to my partner who had a house there in a previous life.
