Even if it DID matter to me, I'd not hold anything against the child. Keep in mind that a baby has no say in what he or she is named, so if the little Osamas grow up and become cancer researchers or dairy farmers without a hostile bone in their bodies, the name won't mean a thing. If an adult were to change HIS name now, then I'd be sure it was political in origin.

I´m with Cloudy. Another comparison, perhaps not accurate but still, is the use of English first names in the US. All people named with English names must be anti-US right? They still must sympathize with the US being a English colony. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] Let them name their children to whatever they want. If we start to judge people by names, I would be judged as a bad singer and lousy actress.

Name your children whatever you want to, just because there was a serial killer named jon doesnt mean parents shouldn't be allowed to name their kids jon. thats ridiculous. I hope it is overturned in germany and they are allowed to name their child what they want.

A name is just a name, not a judging of the person. If I were to name a kid 'Saddam' or 'Hitler' or 'Stalin', that doesn't mean that they will become evil dictators. 'Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover'.

Yes but what if you call your child "The Beast" or "Lucifer"?
