According to the same article we (that is , 'we' in Vz) already have legislation ordering registrars not to accept names that would expose the child to ridicule (something I never knew existed, when I was there), but judging from the names of so many of my fellow compatriots I've come across, it would seem never to have been enforced.
Some parents just don't think -and children can be horrible... my having a slightly exotic, foreign name meant lots of anagrams, rhymes and chanting when I was in school; it is quite difficult to find rhymes in Spanish for either 'Flavio' or 'Matani' but children being as they are...so I do feel for those that have to endure an idiotic or absurd name, the result of having stupid, incompetent parents.
