I DON'T have a problem with 'out of the ordinary'! (I like out of the ordinary names, but the keyword is NAMES, check my personal name list and see howmany names I like that people most definately consider 'out of the ordinary') I do have a problem with naming your child Banana, because that child will surely get teased and will grow up having problems with his/her name. The Malsian rules are too strict imo, but the idea of rule giving isn't that strange. There are names that truly offend people (http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=540223&board=baby) and their are names that just aren't names (like Table or Cholera). I agree with you that it's up to the bearer of the name to consider it a burden or not, I don't think the names that run a very high risk of this should be used (so Banana is out and Cinnamon is debatable (sp?)). The debatable (sp?) names should be allowed, parents should have the final word on that, but the names that truly offend a large group of people for whatever reasonable reason and that have a very high risk of being a burden shouldn't be allowed.
