Just been reading this article about a Brazilian couple and curious to know what others think

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13847419/amp/parents-banned-naming-baby-historical-figure-bullying-fears.html

Should the courts be able to step in and block parents from using certain names?

Parents told by court they can't name baby after historical figure

The couple was told by a court that they couldn't name their newborn after an ancient king over fears the child could face bullying.

They wanted to name their newborn son Piyé after the first black Egyptian pharaoh, who laid the foundations for the 25th dynasty. It's sounds like the the ballet move so the think he will be subject to bullying.

The example in the link is stupid sexist rubbish.

But yes agree ridiculous names like la-a should be stopped.

I think it's a really good idea!
I think people forget that they are naming a human being who will hsve that name for the rest of their life

Can't read the link without paying, what is the name?

But yes, I do think we should be able to stop people naming their kids after people who commit genocide, making the name 57 characters long and pronouncing it John etc. Some people need reminding that their baby is an individual person.
