I think I could make the same argument about religion random thoughts Send a noteboard - 03/02/2013 11:27:28 PM
In the end the government being given the authority to tell people how to name their children is a bigger threat than the one in million times a boy gets named Sue. The government should have both the power and responsibility to step in and protect children from dangerous parents but with kids growing up in homes were they are tortured and neglected stupid names doesn’t break the threshold for government’s power to regulate personal life needs to end.

Now if you name your kid Fuck Face local vulgarity laws should apply, if you name your kid Charles Manson CPS should investigate because you are probably unhinged but if you name your kid Moon Unit then that is just shitty luck for him. Everyone has their crosses to bear and the bar needs to be set very high for the government to regulate personal life.

If it ian issue allow the schools can allow them to use a different name if it is that bad and they can have it legally changed when they get older.
