the “artist” “formerly” [ and perhaps now Again?] known as prince used a geometric SYMBOL for a name at one point.
One wonders how the supreme judge wanna be would have responded to THAT had he had a chance!

If the kid had been named "Mohammed" or "Allah", no doubt it would've all been hunky-dory.

I wonder if Prince and Madonna ever changed their name legally?Neither needed to... Both are birth names given by their parents...Prince Rogers Nelson and Madonna Louise Ciccone.

There was a Black guy attending Troy while I was there. His name was President Carlisle.
There were also two Black kids in my hometown name Collard Green and Turnip Green. Another one in that same family was named Birmingham. Their other 9 children had ordinary names.

Hard not to call them Orange-jello and Lemon-jello when reading the names on a list.

I recall Singer Grace Slick first named her child God before she was convinced to change it to something less shocking.

Apparently "North" is now a name...Yes, someone with that name ran for senator in Virginia some years back.

"I wonder if Prince and Madonna ever changed their name legally?" Prince and Madonna is their real name! However Prince did change this name to this :
Good luck saying it though. He was just called "the artist formally known as Prince".

Rod Serling was a genius and even back then he foresaw the dangers this country faced which is why he did so many episodes on totalitarian governments and oppression, and here we are 50 years later facing just that. Imagine that, the government dictating to you what you can name your kid! Incredible! Not even the Nazis pulled that crap.
How about this episode, where everyone must be the same or they deem you mentally unstable? Gee whiz, just how the media treats non-liberals today! Anyone who has a gun is immediately labeled a "gun-nut" or if you're a Republican you are part of the "far right" or if you are against abortion you are a participant in the "war against women".

I have a question? Why do Latinos get away with using the name ‘Jesus’?

Not even the Nazis pulled that crap.Second Decree for the Implementation of the Law Regarding Changes of Family Names
August 17, 1938
"Jews may be given only such given names as are listed in the Guidelines on the Use of Given Names issued by the Reich Minister of the Interior... Insofar as Jews have other given names than those which may be given to Jews...they are obligated, beginning January 1, 1939, to assume an additional given name, namely the given name Israel in the case of males and the given name Sarah in the case of females."

Maybe you should learn how to spell before you insult others.
