Baby Names Getting Crazy - Article

I didnt even know names got approved.

I thought it just happened regardless....??

names have to be screened to prevent legal infringement (like in the coca cola example)

So....all names are checked when you register a birth?

Is they how they are screened and approved/not approved?

[briggsy's girl]

yup - they'd be screened while processing the registration

it depends on the country too, and some hospitals in the US.
Frank Zappa's kid, Dweezil for example: They had him at a Presbyterian hospital who asked what they were planning to name the baby, and when they told them they refused to let them have the abby there, so they had to call him Ian, and changed it later
