They keep the registry of all citizens and residents. If they don't want to register your kid under some name, your kid is a non-person till you supply a name to their liking, or you get an administrative court to overrule them.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Well yes, I gathered as much. I just don't get the justification for it. Somebody gives you a name, you write it down. No need for an editorial board..."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

Now, I don't see what's all that bad with "Metallica", but some parents have been trying to give their kids really ****ed up names, so I certainly see why the system exists.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

If it hasn't killed Moon Unit Zappa, I suspect they'd survive long enough to change it later if they really want to. That's more than a little ridiculous.Originally posted by Last Conformist

Moon Unit Zappa isn't all that bad. A couple years ago, a couple here wanted to name their son an unpronounceable jumble of thirty or so letters.Originally posted by Koyaanisqatsi
