Personally I think kids that get weird names should be allowed to sue their parents for court costs when they are adult and what to change their names.
That's interesting. Is it an expensive business to change your name in the US? Here in the UK, you don't even have to go to court. You just use the Deed Poll Process:
f you wish to legally change your name, or your children's names, you can use the Deed Poll process, which has been used by hundreds of thousands of people for over 150 years.
By Deed Poll, you can officially change any part or all of your name. For example, you can change your forenames, surname (or both), add names, remove names, change the spelling of your names or rearrange your existing forenames. You can change your name by Deed Poll as often as you want, at any time and for any reason provided it is not for deceptive or fraudulent purposes.
It's just a matter of filling in a form and then using the resultant copy of the Deed Poll to send to anyone who needs to know your name has changed and have the name changed on official documents. There's probably a small admin charge, I'd guess, but it's not hugely expensive. Oh hang on, found it. Between £35 and £40.
