Why am I not surprised that the Name Police are backed by religion?

From the article: "Malaysia's National Registration Department made the decision after consulting with various religious bodies in the country."

If I had a kid and wanted to name her "Magenta" or "Cinnamon" it's nobody else's goddamn business -- and DEFINITELY not the business of the goddamn government.
