THAT'S AS BAD AS A BOY NAMED SUE!

The only penalty is social opprobrium. Perhaps assassination by the unfortunate child.
Ever heard the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue"? Same theme.
I once knew a girl named Skanque (her parents thought it sounded kewl pronounced Skahn Kway, but first timers invariably called her Skank or even Skanky).

They would probably get sued later when the kid becomes a serial killer or something of that nature and blames it on being teased as a child because he was named Ima **** or Harry Toole.

How sad. Parents should consider the affect a name will have on a child. My dad was named Exsavior and he changed it to Pete as soon as he could.

It's possible. I know several years ago a family was barred from legally changing the name of one of their children to an unpronouncable string of symbols.

Reminds me of a Johny Cash tune "A boy named Sue"

When the child grows up and is distressed with having such a name, I'd say yes.

What a nice name, my wife is pregnant and due in 4 days. We will add it to our short list.

I sure hope so. If nobody else has the balls to sue the idiots for it, hopefully, when the kid grows up, he'll do it himself.

No. But they should expect the child to change their name as soon as they turn eighteen.
