Bah, why not let them? I think the boy`ll be okay..

but one important tip - STAY AWAY FROM AMERICA!

well if he remains in germany he'll probably change it as soon as he is old enough.probably right after he disowns his parents.

Excuse me a moment, i might do that meself :D

OMG what a stupid parents that will use that name on a child are they "braindead" or what? That not thinking about their childeren!

Naming a child Osama Bin Laden is just daft. While kids are bright enough to know that little Osama dosent deserve any teasing and suchlike, kids are inherently evil buggers. Osama is going to have a hell of a school-life. Probly end in suicide.

I think that it was perfectly okay that the government didn't allow it. Life would have been hell for the poor kid if he'd been named that, unless of course by some miracle noone near him was one of the average morons that you usually meet and instead enlightened, peaceful and tolerant persons. And what are the chances of that?

And "Depressed Cupboard Cheesecake"? Poor kid whenever he was around someone who knew his real name..... "How are you 'Cheesy'?", or maybe "Cuppy". Possibly it could be shorted to Dep, I suppose that that'd work if the kid was a girl.

Heh heh...depressed Cupboard Cheesecake...i read about that. There was a guy once called Archibald Humperdink. |his parents should have been done by the NSPCC.
