Abcde?

I'm not sure how to interpret the links as a response to my questions. That naming your kid nazi things means you're probably doing other things and those other things may get you in trouble?

To put a finer point on it, the names Ladasha or Abcidy dont even bother me. If you wanna give your kid a rare or unique name go for it. But don't spell in some jackass fashon that the poor kid will spend their entire life having to explain. Why do that? It accomplishes nothing. Your prize is nothing but eye rolls and frustration from the rest of the world you are asking to put up your nonsense. So yeah count me in as saying there is a limt to artistic license when it comes to names.

In the link that I posted a line was crossed that ended in jail time for the parents who were significantly affiliated with a banned Neo-Nazi group and took the decision to name their child after their mentor, Hitler. People do stupid things leading to the creation of laws that the rest of us have to abide to.

The mother in question who named their child Abcde, as has been stated in this thread, really should've made a better decision in naming her child. Is a law needed? That depends on how frequently people do stupid things that could potentially lead to irreparable damage to the psyche of an individual who did not have a choice. Fortunately it is possible to change your name but sadly not the damage it might have caused!

They're invisible to you and I though, yes? As in, you could have no clue about the existence of murder laws and your actions remain the same either way. So, there's no real "have to abide by" in terms of inconvenience.

Kind of what I was asking. Seems to me the very first question is: Should a person be able to name their kid whatever they want and should a person be able to change their name to whatever they want? To begin to answer it, you have to start by imagining the worst name possible. Should some nutjob be allowed to change their name to "Baby Fucker"?

This is really ridiculous.

I have to wonder what other sort of 'interesting' life choices someone who would do this has made and will make in the future.

Well, Mischa-El, did your parents spell your name correctly? Or did they go full jackass to be trendy?
 
Pretty sure we can talk about the silly names people give their kids without being so sour about it.
 
Some asshats in NZ named their kid "Talula does the hula from Hawaii." Is that appropriate?

No one has ever had a problem pronouncing or reading my first name so I can firmly say that im out of the jack ass catagory for that one. From now on your new nickname is Contrary Carl. Why not? Anything goes right?

By the way, I you ever chose to procreat or adopt, I strongly suggest you name the child Pizzapussysanta. Everyone loves at least one of those. You can thank Dave Attel for that beaut.

Contrary Carl says "Nope, you were first to go there."

I simply think you and others are being ignorant, xenophobic, or some combination thereof.
 
People are great at pattern recognition, and Abcde is probably recognized nearly universally as a series of letters, not a name or even a word. This is likely to be met by confusion and/or wariness by whoever meets Abcde.

Naming a child like that, shows some combination of a lack of empathy, laziness, lack of creativity, or overbearingness by the parents. If you like the Fibonacci sequence, it would be much crueller to name your child 1,1,2,3,5,8,13..., than simply Fibonacci. Lmnop is a much better name for a child than Abcde because it is a less obvious sequence that almost pass for a word if you squint hard enough.

No, you decide to be cute with my name before You earned the nickname Contrary Carl. I have pointed out earlier that ethic names are totally fair game if people in the country of origin can recognize them as a name. Fuck you are being pig headed.
 
Luck 4th of July _____. Real name. My friend's kid who's now 20-something. 9th grader this year named Lucky. Hmmm. She might have started something.

One thing not touched on in this thread is how stoked oddly named kids are when you get it right. One girl has a Thai name so unpronounceable she just tells people "call me soda." But that's not what we are talking about here.

Freakonomics has a whole section dedicated to poor outcomes for people with unconventional names. Colleges long ago blanked names due to admission officer bias. Then there's this:

I think the Navy has that beat, with your rank being "seaman" until you make E-4.

We had a girl with the last name Free, reportedly a lesbian, and a poor bastard in a previous division who had to deal with being called Seaman Samples for the first couple years of his career. :laughing
