Submission + - Dominian Republic to ban 'comercial' child names (ap.org)
Weblord Pepe writes: How would you like to have an illegal name? The Dominican Republic's Central Electoral Commission is attempting to ban 'unusual monikers' for children. Is this the first of trademark infringements at birth?
From the associated Press: "The Dominican Republic is considering a ban on unusual monikers following an increase in the number of names based on car brands, intimate body parts and other things. The names range from the bizarre — "Dear Pineapple", "Iloveyou Lover" — to the commercial — "Mazda Altagracia" and "Toshiba Fidelina.""
Surely you can call your own offspring anything you want, even if your taste sucks.
