I agree that you should be able to name your child what ever you wish, but there is a limit. I, PERSONALLY, can't stand names that are too "ethnic." Some names are just down right atrocious. I am not going to clown anyone's name and I am not trying to offend anyone. I just think that we need to put a lot of consideration into the names that we give our children. I have no problem with "plain Jane" names and Afrocentric names, but some names take it to far. It one chooses to give their child a name something like Chevodkaneisha Fantajaaliyah Jackson, they should be prepared, as well as the child, for any backlash that may come.
