[Facts] I'm not talking about silly names like Fanny and Lulu...
I know a family with two daughters of these names. I'm talking about mental abuse, like the kids named Zero and Shithead.Check this one out about the kid whose parents named him Adolf Hitler (then their last name), and was pressured by society to change it. They changed it to Winston Churchill (last name), but obviously they were messed up because the kid wound up messed up.I'm not talking about literary censorship, but of course someone will call it that. I'm talking about obvious mental abuse through naming a child. It's an extremely powerful thing, and while Zelda and I have scorned many a Hugolina namer on haggisbutt, there's a big difference between naming your kid Precious Promise Princess and naming her Flie-Fornication. (Didn't make either of these up.)
