What’s in a name? If the name is Friday, shame and ridicule, according to Italian judges who forbade a couple from naming their child like the character in “Robinson Crusoe.”

“They thought that it recalled the figure of a savage, thus creating a sense of inferiority and failing to guarantee the boy the necessary decorum,” the couple’s lawyer said. The couple are considering appealing the decision.

What do you think?  Should the government of any nation be allowed to tell parents what they may or may not name their children?  Mitzi….and just signing this reminded me that as a child I used to wish that I had a common name!!!!
