There needs to be absolute government control over parents

What kind of parent would name their children Dow Jones and Indiana Jones?

or name their kid -- Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii?

Open Weaver Banks of Ho-Ho-Kus?

Why can't parents give their kids nice names?

Lewis Black is right. There should be a government agency where all baby names are registerd This agency will have the authority to say "uh no, try again".

I think the term your looking for is DICTATORSHIP.

In the words of our President, running the country would be a lot easier if there was a dictator. :rotfl:

It doesn't matter which way the pendulum swings on this - anywhere but in the middle and this kind of control happens!

Their parents are idiots.

I agree something should be done about them.

But ya know? That woman can change her name when she is an adult. Not a good argument on this one.

Luckily we have two even more effective agencies already in place; social darwinism and the ability to change one's own name. And they're free!

Way back when I was young I knew a woman who lost everything. Her son was the only solid thing in her life.

She named the poor kid Concrete.

I'm serious.

Could have been worse, at least it was not a man named Willie Stroker.
