According to the law, every child has to be named with a name that is from a book of names that the government has put together. If the name or the spelling isn't in the book, you can't give your child that name. It started out as some Latin, Greek, and German names. I think they include quite a few more origins now.

•I just don't understand why the government feels the need to control where we can drink and smoke, but naming children is totally irrelevant and has no consequences ?!? (nt) · -=A=- · 4/3/2008, 10:10 AM
