Baby Can't Be Named "Friday"

Post Reply New Topic

I know of a family with children named Truth, Justice, and America Way. Yeah. The stuff Superman stands for.

Also, I bought fast food last week from a young lady named Demonica.

I like creative names, I dislike everyone being named the same old names like Bert, John, Bob, Jane, Adam and the like. Friday sounds like a wonderful name to me. Always been my favourite day!

Why don't they just name him Friday in some other language?

Well they did name him Venerdi which is Italian for Friday. But Friday, by any other name is still Friday I guess. It's just plain stupid IMO.

Yeah, but then if you name your kid Diablo it's a bit different from actually calling him Satan, right?

Hm, I knew a Spring, a Winter, a Sky, River, Stone, Asia, China, Willow, Creek, Moon, Autumn Moon, Lace, Hyacinth, Serenity, Felicity, Karma, Dharma, Shiva, Shakti, and Eagle.

There's a bunch more, I'm sure.

Venerdi is a nice name.

(This is a stretch, but...) The day of the week, Friday was named after the Norse goddess Frigg, wife of Odin.

It could be asserted that the parents were trying to give their male heir a female name. You wouldn't want boys walking around named "Mary Elizabeth", would you?

'A bit of a stretch' is 'plainly obvious' in legal terms.

Yup; just a matter of perspective, and how much the client's paying to railroad it.

Come to think of it, my argument doesn't hold water. "Venerdi" (the kid's approved name) comes from Venus, a Roman goddess, so that's also a gender switch.

"Mary Elizabeth" it is then.

To use this very case as an example, this is what they say:

"Venerdi is the name of an atrocious fictional character who will bring detriment to any persons named upon it..."

This is what they don't tell you:

"...but it took us five months to realize it."

I have a Joon Bear named Friday: http://fridayjoon.blogspot.com - I don't update it any more, I should.

I went to sixth-grade camp (o imagine the fun of THAT) with a bunch of strangers who hated me. One was a huge girl with a name pronounced: Vah-jean-ah. Spelled, of course, V-A-G-I-N-A.


When my grandmother was a nurse, a woman gave birth to twins and named them pneumonia and diptheria because the names were long and fancy. She saved the newspaper clipping. The babies' mother thought the names the most elegant thing EVER.

Some countries have a system where you have to choose a name that the State deems acceptable. For instance I don't suppose you could call your kid Adolf Hitler in Austria or Germany for example. This will be another variation on the theme. I must say I sympathise with the idea sometimes. Especially when you hear the ridiculous names that people excrete for their kids these days.

From the article.

Evidently, the priest who baptized him had no problem with the name. It was the government who disallowed it.

From the article.

The court ordered him to be named Gregorio.

In Greece, the name Paraskevi means Friday. There is a Greek Olympic gold medalist named Paraskevi Patoulidou. She won the 100 meter hurdles in 1992.

Once again, fat balding men in suits with a pen are causing displeasure on the public.

No, they should be allowed to name the child whatever they want. I don't know what crazy person would want to name their child "Friday" though.

Woman I know named her kid Dimple.
