I was just looking up the entry for Monica on the database, and I noticed that a couple of people commented that the name is not useable for law in certain countries. I know that these comments are often not the most reliable on earth, and that many countries, including my own, have fairly strict laws regarding names, sometimes going to the point of making lists from which names can be picked. However, at least as far as the Western world is concerned, it seems really odd to exclude Monica from such lists, since it's a time-honoured Christian name used in many languages, and usually it's newer names with no tradtional associations and no patron saints (eg Pamela or Samantha) that would get banned. Does anyone know anything more concrete about this whole Monica business, or is it just a meaningless thing randomly put down by someone with no common sense? It's just that it's really piqued my curiosity!
