***Thanks for posting the link. I saw that website about three years ago and could never find it again. Hilarious stuff.****
You're welcome.
And I think about 3 years ago is when I found it too. Maybe it was posted here???
But I do recall it was a Saturday and I spent hours reading it and was laughing all the time. Amazing that there's people that stoo-pid.

Only if that is the middle name. First name must be Cherry in that case. Then, all the other strippers will think she is like really, really smart.

While I agree that parents come up with names for for their children that the system of government/accounting cannot adapt to, what right does a government have to place restrictions on child naming? Children are right's bearing individuals just as the parents. The government does have a legitimate role in settling conflicts between rights-bearing individuals. Since children cannot petition the government, that means that the government also has the moral authority to act as a petitioner on the child's behalf.
This is the exact same logic by which I oppose abortion, gay marriage, no-fault divorce, sperm donation, and single motherhood. The issue of children's right is the achilles heal of libertarianism.
Naming your child 4real is not as bad as separating him from his biological parents for selfish reasons. And given that there is an ounce of truth to the libertarian position that acting on behalf of children is a slippery slope, we need to tread gentle when interfering with how parents raise their children. I could legitimately see allowing the name on those grounds. But it is clear that the government has the moral ground to get involved. The only question is whether or not it would be prudent.
