Yes, every state has a maximum number of characters per plate and most check for some kind of vulgarity. I highly doubt there would be a problem getting a personalized plate that said ANTHRAX if no one else had it. FUCKYOU would be a little more difficult.

Ok, I think you do have Alzheimer's. I didn’t ask what you think, rather if there is such law. And if you took two precious minutes from posting on internet boards and actually read the article, you’d see that he was denied renewal of personalized license plates.
So I will stop asking questions now since you obviously have difficulty comprehending simple "yes or no" questions.

To be honest; I never bothered to click the link you provided. I answered your question as to whether or not the ability to use a personalized license plate (issued by the state) was the same as having the government tell you what you can name your kid.

If you think they are anywhere close to being the same you are too stupid for me to waste my time on. :2 cents:

In the case of Prince, he changed his "name" to a symbol due to record co bullshit.

I'm gonna name my boy, Sue:winkwink:

Have you tried naming your child "Satan" or "God" for example, I think someone would say "No".

..then again, the amount of "Mercedes", "Lexus", "Porsche" etc names in the US make me think that maybe indeed you don't have any limits.

great, use the "oldest" argument fallacy in the world to "counter" the argument:

I know how to spell,why should it make any difference if I feel too lazy to properly spell? How many foreign languages do you speak? :winkwink:

Also, the links I gave are all in perfect English.

Anyone who thinks the above doesn't hurt those with the cultural names is not dealing in reality.

lol - in which country?

actually Mercedes was the name of a girl and they named the car after her :winkwink:

Damn buddy, you beat me to it! :thumbsup:1orglaugh:1orglaugh



.

Like I said, there are many many areas of government intervention in the US that I am also very much against.

Having said that, you should be aware that 99% of those laws are quite old, (often over 100 years), no one has bothered to remove them from the books, and they have not been enforced for many decades. If any officer tried to arrest or fine people for it, any judge would throw it out, or award no penalty, while then suggesting to the local legistlature that the law be removed.


.:2 cents:

no, I gave both my boys more mainstream names based on family names

And whats so funny? Government MUST have a say in the matter, otherwise you will have people naming themselves Meta World Peace. This is just ridiculous.
Of course in OP case its not the case because that name sounds like an actual name.

I find it amusing that your government has convinced you that you need their guidance and protection from birth.

So you are saying that anybody should be able to officially name themselves for example:

first name: gfy
last name: troll

?

We aren?t talking cars and babies here, dummy. The whole point of argument is government intervention. How stupid do you have to be to keep talking ?baby is not the same as car?. Ok fine, if you think its ok for government to tell you No you can?t have ?I am gay? or ?Poison Z? or what ever that guy had license plates its Ok with me.. But don?t tell me its so fucking different form them to say here?s list of 2000 Icelandic names, pick one. And no, you cant have name with letter C in it because we don?t have letter C in our alphabet.
And by reading this, it has nothing to do with government being so intrusive in someone?s lives but rather case of preserving Icelandic culture and its language

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name

First names that have not been previously used in Iceland must be approved by the Icelandic Naming Committee (Icelandic: Mannanafnanefnd) before being used.[2] The criterion for acceptance of names is whether or not they can be easily incorporated into the Icelandic language. First, they must contain only letters found in the Icelandic alphabet and second, they must be able to be declined (that is, modified according to their grammatical case).

I find it amusing that you can?t see it in your own backyard and worry about some country with population equal to Delaware.

But never mind. You lived with it fine for 70 plus years and Im sure you'll do fine few more.

Serious question: If I wanted to immigrate there, would I have to change my name if it weren't on the list?

Don't be so sure about that - that is basically a call you are making based on your own personal preferences and prejudices.

In fact, I know from personal experience that a unique name can individuate a person and set them apart.

I know because my real first name is "Farrell" but my stage name was a play on my last name "Timlake", so I have been Farrell and Tim. When I was a kid, teased because of my name, calling me "farrah" was popular (guess the decade) but it a gave me something unique -which one could argue helped set me apart and on the positive path of not defining myself according to ordinary and typical and generic life choices most will follow. (Imagine how tough it was for my brother, whose name is "Moffitt", and had to deal with "little miss muffett" taunts...)

The people that only know me as "tim" treat me much differently than those that know me as "farrell" so I see it firsthand. Give another listen to Johnny Cash singing "Boy named Sue" for more perspective on this subject.

In the US, that would not be a crime; no one would stop you. :2 cents:

lol right

name your kid hitler and see what happens
