We have rules about names. Prince had that issue when he tried to be a symbol. The name needs to be approved in the USA also but we are a lot more liberal and the kid suffers not the parent who wanted to be original. I just met an Amari-yi. She will need to set a side a few minutes a day to explain her name to people. Yep, nothing ethnic or anything, grandma thought it was cool is all.
