No, not at all. It's just saying the same thing twice. As it stands you're calling him a hairy penis every time you say his name.
How about Dick Trickle, though? Poor bastard. He grew up to be famous in the South, too. (Nascar driver)

"Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence, Sex Fruit" wtf?
Why would any parent name their child something like that? unless they actually wanted to ruin his/her life.
Fucking idiots.
Violence isn't as bad as the other ones, but still terrible. I work with a girl named Vanity. Also a terrible name.

Haha i love names like that, but to do it to your own kid...
Know a couple awesome ones, but too bad they only work in dutch. Also know people with first name Harm, Flip and Joke (not too weird over here)

Erection. You'd have to have a really bad pronunciation of Eric, though.

There was a Chu Wang in my highschool. D:

Mistake would be a good name.
I don't really understand how you can name a person a phrase, but I mean, it's not like people are going to call the girl Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii... They're gonna call her Talula, or Tal. Big deal?
Kid's gonna be fucked up anyway if that's where its genetics are coming from. The officials probably just got tired of trying to convince some dumb ass stoners that their mentally handicapped child probably wasn't going to benefit from their idea of a clever name.
Although one name I think should definitely be banned is Dominick, and all its variations. I fucking hate that name and everyone who's name it is.

Worst shit, it shouldn't be illegal to name your kid anything you want. But it should be considered neglect or whatever and then the child should be asked and allowed to change its name if its over 6 years old or whatever.

I don't think it's invasive at all if it applies to children/minors. The main issue I would have with the ruling is how you would define a ridiculous/offensive name. Most examples given are obviously messed up, but how do you draw the line for kids with borderline names like "Violence" or "Poo" or "Osama?" (i.e. I knew someone in middle school named "shitti")
On the other hand, if you're 18+ and want your name to be "sex fruit," by all means go for it. Those names are not borderline, excluding Osama, which is only if the person is actually arabic, or whatever culture that name comes from. If its a random white kid, odds are hes going to be made fun of AND have no cultural excuse for the name choice.

And how would you go and decide who gets a license and who doesn't? It'd impossible to regulate, that and it'd give the government power over who can get kids and who doesn't which is just wrong. Stupid suggestion, I didn't even see that you were going there with your original post because it's so rediculous.
I use what the fuck when I see fit, like when someone uses a thread to suggest rediculous ideas. I use it to express the sincerity my confusion, like why the fuck would you try and suggest such an idea without putting some thought into it first.
In response to your question: We would issue licenses much in the same way any license is issued ie gun car, boat, ect. if you are not familiar with the processes of recording/applying/issuing a license i feel there is little more i can do to alleviate your ignorance.
As for giving the government power over who should have kids; why not? Obviously its too much responsible for alot of individuals to have. Also i must point out that this agrument is about a personal belief i posses and not what i think is going to/needs to happen or something i would force on anyone.
One of the many problems we encounter when trying to handle an issue is that we often fixate on the problem itself rather then exploring solutions. I'd like to sum this up now and this will be the last post i make in this thread regardless of what is to follow.
You are critical of me because you feel my idea is 'redicilous' and thoughtless. In response i would agrue that while my idea is unrefined and unresearched it is far from thoughtless as i've spent much time and money sitting throught classes and attending sociology lectures brainstorming possible solutions to issues such as this. You do not have to agree with me, but you will respect my oppinion as it is every bit, if not more valid, then your own.

Joy's a normal name here.. for a woman 50+.
<3 Meat

Someone I knew told me he knew a guy from high school called Lee Kee Kok. He's normally full of shit so I don't know if he made it up, but it sounds like a pretty realistic name
Number 16 Bus Shelter, wtf?!

lol talula does the hula... almost as good as Frank Zappa naming his daughter Moon Unit

The courts should force people like this to be sterilized. Retards shouldnt reproduce.

Laws of nature. It's a human being's natural inclination to be concerned about both his or her self-preservation, and to procreate. If you tell certain people they're not allowed to have kids (like say, anyone in the slums because they often grow up to be criminals [and this would of course be seen as a racist initiative given that most people living in American slums are not white]), they're not really going to care about any of the laws in the country anymore. Human beings want to live in society for their own benefits (safety and security), but you're basically saying the government should be allowed to take away the basic meanings of what it is to live as a human being. If you see what I'm getting at, I'm referring to Thomas Hobbes' theories (although he didn't give a fuck about offspring) and saying that even under an all powerful leviathan-like government, if you take away the only things citizens truly care about, they'll have no reason to obey. You can't order someone to kill themselves, and you can't order someone not to procreate. If you could, Hitler would have just told Jewish people to kill themselves and not procreate; He knew he had to force them.

I read somewhere recently...in Europe somewhere, possibly Sweden...some parents were trying to name their child something like Pcxxxkddzzkkccc11 or something like that.
The addition of numbers at the end were lolsworthy.
They got fined I believe.

touche', i agree. Your examples are extreme but are valid. I still beleive some form of mass control needs to be implemented, as many peopel fail their offspring, in order to assure the survival of future generations but perhaps licensing baby's is a bit too much.
