I can foresee the future....

I'm thinking in the next 18 years, there's gonna by lots of lobbying for the government to make name changing, or spelling-of-name changing, simple and inexpensive.

...but only for people whose names are Aidyn, Makynzye, Jaden (of any spelling) etc.

I'll join you. I've been saying since I started this community people should be forced to take an IQ test in the hospital before they are allowed to name their kid. If they fail, they are not allowed to name their child, and the government picks one out from a 'safe' list :P

safe list...like the nazis had?

Just kidding I get your point, I think there should be IQ test requirements before conception can occur, but I don't see how that's possible.

haha maybe it will be like an "anti-safe" list. You go down to the SS office and there will be a certain set of names that if you've been unfortunate enough to have been given one with a Kr8tiv spelling, you can breeze through to the front of the line. but only if you're going to change it back to the 'original' spelling. you know, Aydyn to Aidan, Mykenzee to Mackenzie.

oh and there will be the line for "If Your Name is Nevaeh". in that line, you can basically pick out any other name you like, as quickly and as easily as possible, no charge, no hassle. lol


these will be the "express" lines, as opposed to the lines that expedite changing from those names altogether. ;p

Christ. I saw that too: http://community.livejournal.com/pregnant/9034172.html

She was 16 when she gave birth to and named her daughter Linzi. It figures. :/
