An Italian couple named their baby Venerdi meaning "Friday" after the servant in Robinson Crusoe (never read it). The court then decided that it was an unfair name for a baby, and would deprive it of a fair chance to have "serene interpersonal relationships."

As dumb as this is I wish to hell the supreme court would stop letting people name their kids Tevin, and Shaqwanda.

Lakeisha, latoya, Lashasta, Yolanda, Tyrone, Tyrell, and Tyrese think you're a racist.

I've actually heard this about Italy a number of times. They really, really want you to have a nice Italian name, there.

what about celebrities... apple. are you kidding me

parents need to give their kids a fighting chance. naming your male son Tristan or Chad is already starting them off face down.

I'm Italian .. they were refusing to baptize me because my parents didn't name me after a saint and my name wasn't in the bible

then my dad told them where to go...and i was baptized...i know my dad was arguing with a nun over my name....funny side story the priest who baptized me..was drunk...and arrived at the ceremony a couple of hours late

i <3 being Italian

I think Apple's sort of a nice name. There are way crazier names anyway; Jason Lee named his kid Pilot Inspektor.

im naming my kid Magnus, Marius, Odin, Ra, Osiris, Bacchus, Zeus, or Balrog... there will be no female kin being birthed from my chosen baby oven.

che schifo

Yeah, the ideal name for a kid would be something intimidating, like Ragnar or Hakon or Skallagrim. An intimidating name helps people in business dealings.
