Utter madness! I came across this at CNN, a couple who wish to name their new child after Osama Bin Laden..... WHY?
Apparently the local forces that be, are allowed to prevent names that would affect the child in later life. This sounds good in principle but whether it should be taken away from the parents as to what they can name their own child I'm not sure. Then again if you really think hard, how many times do you think this rule has been applied. Most parents with an IQ high enough to re-produce surely wouldn't dream of naming their child after someone with such bad publicity surrounding them.
