Iceland has a law on what you can name your kid.

Well, that is a highly offensive name, especially for a girl  (that was sarcastic for those that missed it).
I enjoyed the Freakonomics chapter regarding the affects child naming can have

I wonder if "Appetizer" is allowed.
"Preliminary"
"Body-blow"
"Entree" (second kid.. you get the gist)
"Perfection"

In the US, I am not a fan of creative spellings of names. The other day I came across a parent named Cyndi which made me just shake my head

I always think people with names like "Cyndi" or "Poul" or something along those lines just have dumb parents, and nobody bothered telling them that they're spelling the names wrong. 
... or like that baseball player.. "Jesus Pagan"; seriously? Your parents are idiots.. I don't care how it's pronounced.

I'm glad I live in America and I can name my child whatever I what. I decry idiocy but every person has a right to be stupid. Next the government will be telling us how much soda we can drink.... oops they have already done that.
