A French judge spared a baby girl from being named Nutella – changing her name to Ella instead to save her from a lifetime of teasing.
“The name ‘Nutella’ given to the child is the trade name of a spread,” the court ruled, according to a La Voix Du Nord. “And it is contrary to the child’s interest to have a name that can only lead to teasing or disparaging thoughts.”
The parents wanted to name the girl after the popular chocolate spread, but the judge said that the name was not in the interest of the baby girl, who was born in Valenciennes on Sept. 24.
When the couple failed to appear for a November court hearing, the judge ordered the name change.
In France, the registrar checks newborns’ names when birth certificates are registered. If a name is deemed contrary to the child’s interest, the registrar has to notify a prosecutor. A family court can then change the name.

If so, CNN would call this girl African American.

That reminds me... I have a Costco size Nutella jar in the kitchen waiting for me.

That sorta rolls off the tongue... er not really:)
It does if you’re a shark.
Someone can name their child "shitburger" if they feel like it...
OK, OK, so his name is Seventh. But he goes by 7.
Mohammed should be a banned name too.
France is also the only country I know of that has an government agency that defines what is legal to say in its own language. You wouldn’t believe the hoops they’ve had to jump through to come up with acceptable words for items of new technologies. Not exactly an indication of “invented here”.
ain't that the truth
Oh.
My.
Good idea!
Also...”Abdul” which means “Slave”.
The ancient Romans would name their kids Octavius, Septimus, Quintus, .... there’s nothing new about that.
Sixto Lezcano, the baseball player.
Pope Sixtus V
“Eighth” would actually be Octavus without the i.
My name is Mary louise.
Mary=Hebrew=Bitter
Louise=French=Warrior, One who Fights for something.
Who knew years ago that I would be named “Bitter Clinger” and that as a teen I used to hang out at a nightclub called the “Tea Party”! LOLOLOLOL!
I once knew of someone named “Newt”. LOL!
Judge: “You may not name your child ‘Nutella’.”
Me: “Okay. How’s ‘ScrewYouFrenchNannyStateBusybodiesSometimesIWonderIfItWouldHaveBeenBetterIfTheNazisWon’? Does ‘ScrewYouFrenchNannyStateBusybodiesSometimesIWonderIfItWouldHaveBeenBetterIfTheNazisWon’ work for you?”
