No - what she is saying is that people have the right to give their kid whatever name they want, but that the parents should think about what they are doing and not pick a name out of their ass, in the moment, or as part of some fad (ie. Moonbeam, Porche, Dweezle, Princess, Bambi, etc).
Like it or not names are an indication of a person's socio-economic status and the enviroment in which they where raised - all of influence the character of the person with the name... and as part of being a social animal we pick-up on these indicators to help us build a picture of who the person is prior to meeting them. Sure the actual person may not fit the image given by their name, but prior to an actual meeting a name is the first and lasting impression.
