Don't bother with a law. You can't legislate common sense.

Not gonna lie ... I would PISSED if our government tried to tell me what I could and could not name our children. It isn't like I have crazy names or anything like that, but damn! The only person who has a right to decide my child's name is myself and my husband.

I just read that story. I'm glad and no i do not think we should have similar laws. yes some people give their children the most horrible names but we have more important things to worry about then to go after a parent for what they name their child.

We have plenty of laws. We don't need this one. I'm glad she got her name. I've been following the story. Girl is not a very nice name to be forced to have.

Of course we don't need a law like that here. The only people who should have a say in the naming of my child are my husband and I.
