Since cats are pets, it may not be a big deal.

I have a friend who named his dog hooker. (seriously)

I suspect, if he named his child that, it "may" be an issue.

Here is an intersting article on names. It is long, but there are some good examples on crazy names and good examples on some courts stepping in.

www.setexasrecord.com...


Here is a case where a Judge stepped in...though it does not take place in America:


But at least one judge has taken strong action against a parent's questionable choice in children's names. Judge Rob Murfitt of Wellington, New Zealand, encountered a 9-year-old girl involved in a custody battle; her parents had christened her "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii."

Judge Murfitt made the girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, after hearing testimony about her embarrassment over the bizarre appellation. He observed, "The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name. It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a special disability and handicap, unnecessarily."

I've been called upon in the past to help make a child's life easier through a name change. On one occasion, I successfully petitioned a court to change the name for a boy who was constantly tormented by his peers; it seems Mr. and Mrs. Krueger had sorely underestimated the lasting popularity of a certain "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie villain when they chose the name Frederick for their son (memo to the Lecters: anything but Hannibal, please: school cafeterias will be tough enough for your child to deal with as it is).

No disrespect meant to your G/F's last name.

But for the point, what if her parents named her cheap????

Just saying..............

They should come to the Philippines, then.

One journalist friend told me of an interview he had with a Hitler Manila.


Still, that experience did not stop him from carrying on the family tradition. His sons are named Himmler and Hess after two of Hitler's closest associates.

Exactly! naming your kid Apple or Moon Unit while strange, isn't offensive. Naming your child Adolf Hitler, another Hinler, another Aryan Nation, well, just shows the parents are NAZIs. I think they did the right thing taking the kids from them. Three less Neo Nazis to worry about.
