This is one thing I have big problems with when taken to the extreme to be different, even though I got lucky I can't imagine what some of these kids will face.

It got bad enough in New Zealand that a judge had to step in and have the parents come up with another name for their kids.
Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, 4Real, Number 16 Bus Shelter, Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Twisty Poi, and Sex Fruit aren't names.

Now, some were banned that I think were ok like Stallion, but I would think that parents would want the best for their kids and forcing them to have a name that people are going to mispronounce, mis-spell, or laugh at is wrong. And don't get me started on giving girl names to boys and boy names to girls... Parents should know better.

And parents really don't want to consider how 'screamable' a name is during sex, but I would factor that into it.
