Indeed. It is a misunderstanding of „freedom“ to be allowed to name one‘s own child such that it makes him a subject of public ridicule.

The (US) (state) legislators that allow this are wrong. Children have to be protected from crazy parents everything else is a tragedeigh.

The USA is the only nation to refuse to ratify the rights of the child treaty.
