Oh, and wasn't there a French woman that named her kid after the car Megan Renault? Or I might be wrong, hehe. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh well, some parents are just weird... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Well my American Grandmother gave me the name Monique Renault and I happen to like it very much! Its a hard name to be teased for in this country though, not to many people can even pronounce it correctly, and many less know that it is a French automobile and, if I am not mistaken, a French surname.

I think parent's should be allowed to name their children anything they want. Even the worst of them (Moon Unit, Dwiesel, and Ahmet Zappa come to mind) can overcome their stranger titles to become (fairly) normal people. (who likes totally normal anyway lol)
I can see why some countries would want Osama Bin Laden or Adolph Hilter banned but it doesn't take away what the parent's will teach their children based on the names they wanted to give them to begin with ya know?
