Without providing the middle name, this thread initially pissed me off...now I vote it the Thread O’ the Day. Great comments.

It would have to be a name that only became, “tainted” after they gave it to the child.

So, it's "Donald"?

Is it possible that mom and dad agreed on the name beforehand, but now that they're fighting about everything else, she's come to hate the name?

That was Rachel Dolezel’s new name.

Taint Jemima.

You have to have the middle name “Wayne” to be allowed on death row. “John Wayne _______” is not required, but earns extra points.

Probably Osama and probably given by the father on purpose.

I say that because 3 British papers all covered the story without spilling the name or family’s name.

If it is all about the name and the public had to pay for it (because the father refused to change it) then the public deserves to know how the money was spent.
