Facebook, Rambo, 59 Other Names Banned in Mexican State of Sonora

Ay caramba

Parents in the Mexican state of Sonora will no longer be allowed to name their children "Facebook," ''Rambo" or 59 other now banned given names.

The names have been found at least once in state registries. And the list could grow because officials are still checking the state's 132 newborn registries, Sonora state Civil Registry director Cristina Ramirez said Tuesday.

I have to say, I'm torn on this one. On the one hand I do tend toward the feeling that Mr. and Mrs. Beaches should be prevented, by violence if necessary, from naming their daughter "Sandy". On the other hand, the idea that the government is going to tell people what they may or may not name their children is creepy.

I guess I was hoping that the Beaches' extended family would do an intervention...

Look what third world country suddenly found itself with first world problems.
