My aunt, who is a nurse, was working labor, delivery and postpartum. She was the one who took a new baby's name down, and was stunned when a young hispanic couple named their new baby girl Jezebelle. She had a moral dilemma moment when she didn't know whether it was her responsibility to tell the couple who Jezebelle was.......she chose to stay out of it.

Personally, I have 3 name-related pet peeves.

My 1st pet peeve is when baby girls are named things that would never sound good after "Senator______" or "Governor_______", such as "Mimi" or "Buffy" or "Brittni".

My second pet peeve is when names clash ethnically. "Pedro O'Reardon" "Brittany Garcia" "Patrick Gonzalez" "Cheyenne Kawolski".

My third pet peeve is when kids have names that are misspelled (these also don't look good after "Senator ______" or "Governor _______"), such as "Shyann" for Cheyenne, or "Kodee" for "Cody" or "Britnee" for Brittany.

Personally, I think family first or last names should always be used for first or middle names, because it helps with genealogy records/research later on.

That is very common, though, in Argentina. Had a doc once named Carlos Schmidt. I mentioned to him I thought it quite a curious name. He explained about the Germans in Argentina and laws in the country that require Hispanic first names.
