Can you name your kids terrible things in the US?

"Many parents think it's important to find a unique name for their newborns, but one French couple may have taken things a little too far.
The Toulouse authorities stepped in after they received reports of a couple trying to name their newborn son "Jihad."
SOMETHING MORE COMMON: The most popular baby names of 2017 so far
According to The Local France, the baby was born in August and the parents have been battling to give their child the Arabic name, which means "effort" or "struggle" instead of "holy war."

The article refers to French law saying that "any first name may be given as long as it doesn't go against the child's interest." While the parents' intent may not have been malicious, a string of jihadist attacks on France has brought serious controversy to the name.
An article on BBC stated there have been other boys with that name in the past despite the fact that the term "jihadists" is commonly used to describe Islamist militants, such as those who carry out terror attacks in the name of so-called Islamic State."
Judges may eventually decide to ban his parents from giving him that name. "

Yes, people have all sorts of stupid names in the US.

Good, they're honestly terrible parents. Why would you want to open your kid up to teasing or worse? They're the worst kind of people.

Um, Jihad is an actual Arab name. But yeah it's dumb to name a kid that way if he's going to live in a western environment.
---

Oh god that kid is gonna get hell growing up.

"Hi my name is Jihad..."

"Ahhhhh run away!"
---

Whatever happened to Jihad Jones
---

Also there was a guy drafted in the NFL last year named Jihad Ward
---

"Nah, man. It's pronounced Yee-haw'd" We're country folk.
---

Those people should move to the US, where we allow people to name their children practically anything they want
---

I had a coworker named Jihad once.
---

Oh girl, you're making me so Jihad

Imagine if the first day of school you pissed the teacher off and he yelled...ALLAHU ACKBAR!

There was way more to that story than just the child's name. And IIRC the father literally showed up to court in a full nazi uniform
