It is ‘Oceania’ in cell phone text language (”OH-SEE-ARR-NI-ARR”)
It wasn’t the name itself that was the problem, it was the way this woman chose to spell it. Fortunately she agreed to be persuaded to a more conventional spelling.

These names should only be allowed if at the same time the parent’s name is changed to “Attention-Craving Nitwit” or “Insensitive and Adolescent Parent”.

She's never heard Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue"? ANZACS LIVE for the mud and the blood and the beer.

Back when I was in the Air Force I knew a person named “North East West.”

Better to name him Nad so when he’s out playing a game of football or baseball you can yell, “Go Nad! Go Nad!”

A pox on, and a steel-toed boot to the teeth to egomanicac parents that use their child and their name as some public statement or personal joke.

Did your brother precede or follow Zappa’s naming his kids Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva?

I guess this ruling puts a damper on naming my kids after the Planets of the Solar System. I think you'd be fine with Venus, but might run into trouble with Pluto.

“Midnight Chardonnay”
That’s actually kind of cool.
I knew a woman named Raven (unfortunately she was very blonde or it would have been perfect), and someone I know named their girl Alchemy.

I read recently of a child named...
“L-A”
Yeah, that’s pronounced “La DASH A”
argh.

I don’t really have a problem with what people name their children. To me it is a sign of a free society and yes there will be some people who take it to extremes.
I knew a lady that lived in Bulgaria under communist rule. She said that when you had a baby the government would bring you a list of names you could pick from.
Remember as conservatives we are supposed to be against government oppression and intrusion.

Still,there is a difference between a NAME and a string of words or an object. Naming a kid Bed Spread, or Fuel Injection should not be allowed, or only allowed for a middle name.

Remember as conservatives we are supposed to be against government oppression and intrusion. Personally, as a conservative, I believe in minimal government intrusion - not none at all. There is a difference.
