No reason at all, legally. I think its unwise, and sets a bad precedent, but I dont see how it can be legally challenged.

What if someone decided to really be edgy and name their kid a universally known obscenity. Should "f**k J*sus" be forbidden?

I dont know what the exact law is on what you can and cannot name your children, but my understanding is there aren't very many restrictions.

Names are odd things. There is nothing more personal than your name, and yet you get assigned it to you by other people. Given the increasingly selfish pseudo-edgy nature of people in the last fifty years its hardly surprising the number of people officially changing their names has sky rocketed. I mean would you WANT to be called f**J*sus? Or Pixie frou-frou? Or Trixiebell? Or the collected surnames of a football team?
