I can't see a problem with banning some names, Who would wanted to be called S**t? . I knew of an Evil (for real) a few years ago, the ban mustn't have been in place then. Duke is an odd one though, considering Earl is common, and they are both titles.
How about Evel? There was a famous daredevil with that name.
There is a lovely girls name in Brazil, which is spelled Railde. To the English ear, it sounds like "high-yooj". So, if Railde can call herself Hayooj, there is no reason Margaret can't be pronounced Caroline.
What you hear as ""high-yooj" is nothing but Railde peonounced the Brazilian way, ie: with a guttural R and a D that almost sounds like a CH. So nothing like Margaret and Caroline.
I don't care what parents name their kids, and I don't think that any government should either. It's the kids I feel sorry for, who have to live with ridiculous parents who either can't spell, or have no clue what they are doing to their children when they stick them with an outrageous moniker.
One little old grandma cracked me up in the ER. She walked in and asked her daughter what the baby girl's name was. "Shaniqua", replied the new mother proudly. "That's pretty stupid," said Grandma. "Your husband, my son, was named Daniel, and he couldn't spell it til the second grade. How long do you think it will take for your daughter to learn to spell HER name?"

If I had a son, I would name him Jesus. It is not fair that the Mexicans can use that name and we can't!

In the final analysis, I guess the law can control what parents name their kids if they want to. But the poor kid is still stuck with the yahoo parent who would have named him or her something stupid.
Thought that dumb hippy movement had ended - name your dog something stupid - name your child something that will assist the kid in life - not happer them - to lable a kid with a wacky name or title..is selfish...Look at Michael Jackson - he treated his artifical kids like they were pets..and named then as such - be kind to your kids and call them something NORMAL - and beautiful....wait a sec....Normal ....."He Normal..better wake up and get ready for school"..
