Seems like the prevailing sentiment on this topic is its ok for a judge to decide what you can or cannot name your kid..Granted some people are way out there when it comes to naming their kids but is it really up to a judge to decide as to whats appropriate?

Those nations aren't part of the U.S.

Big difference.

I don't think so. black males usually can pull off names that make others targets. plus he has 2 older brothers.

basically. the hypocrisy is so obvious. this country wouldn't be any different from any other hell hole country run by religious zealots if they had more power.

Who the heck could be supporting the judge?

I mean people are always yelling about freedom, but they don't see that the government telling parents how to name their children is stealing freedom and a huge expansion of government power?

Who won't support the freedom in parents naming their own child?

Ummm...ok. Nevertheless, she is still nuts. Lol. She had some good "jokes" about what she thought the bands name should be to. Which is interesting, because some bands now use such names, and it's considered to be "cool".

Perhaps, then, she was just ahead of her time. In her, we see the future of the human species. Ha! Lol. Despite all that, I liked a lot of the bands music. From Airplane to Starship they had some good tunes.
