Couple not allowed to name son 'Friday'

I agree with the attempts to stop the couple from keeping the boy's name as Friday.  He won't like it - you better believe he won't! - he will be teased, made fun of, embarrassed all through his school years and just wish he had a more normal name.  He will be very maladjusted.  When he grows up, he'd probably wind up legally changing it the first chance he'd get.  With great names like Luciano, Massimo, Gregorio, Giovanni, Giuseppi, Vito (my late grandpa's name), etc., what is the necessity of a name that means 'Friday' except to satisfy the boy's parents' own foolish whim?  Who is the name for, anyway?  It should benefit the boy, not the parents.  Sounds like it would only be for the selfish parents' satisfaction in this case.  Any other posters thinking about the boy's future preference, rather than only about his foolishly self-centered parents????????  Poor boy, I hope the courts put the parents in their place and get that boy a nice, normal name.  Do you hear of many U.S. boys named "Michael" growing up weird?  I doubt it!!!!  I probably feel this way because I'm 30 years older than most of the more "progressive" young folks posting comments here.  By the way, as the former "Nina Marie Passantino," I was teased incessantly about being "...like the ships! - The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria!  Hi, Nina-Pinta-Santa Maria!..."  It drove me crazy.  I also got "Nina pass the pizza" and "Nina Leaning Tower of Pisa."  In L.A. where I moved in 1980, I became "Nina from Pasadena."  As if the other names weren't enough!  You probably think they're funny, though - OK, I do, too, in a way.  But after my divorce in 1996 I kept the name "Beck" for fear of having just that same thing happen again!...Take care, all!...

Day names are a strong African tradition (See http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0097-8507(196703)43%3A1%3C139%3AADIJ%3E2.0.CO%3B2-%23 ). This is also the case in Jamaica and among the Gullah Sea Islanders along the South Carolina coast where I live.

Names out of the ordinary, chosen by either well meaning parents who wish to maintain their ethnicity by mistakenly thinking the name they chose or modify will be seen as cute, unique and/or some rapper named their kid this name and they wish to emulate their hero  or parents unclear of the concept of how many drugs they ingested when nameing their child who will be ridiculed and later discriminated on later in life, such as applying for University or a job has been featured many times in the media with stereotypes being laughed at on comedy shows, such Living Colour, Dave Chappelle, Saturday Night Live, Ludicrous idiotic names in which the following have been used such as Lakeesha,  Soliel Moon Fry, Verondanika, Bolt Upright, Jakeisha, Laquesha, Moon Unit, Blue Bell, Apple and others will scar these kids emotionally and in some case sterotype them as Comedians have ridiculed them on TV and movies, unless Rich parents have unlimited cash to spend on the kids therapy, pay their childrens friends to play with them and later support them for life because they cannot find work as they are ostracised from the mainstream of life. Who says Drugs are a victimless crime, especially when so many parents seem to be on drugs when picking baby names.

Some parents may disagree and say, but people will get used to it, as they did in the 1950's such as Biff, Muffy, Chance and Agathe and Irmgaard, yeah Right, kids didn't like their names then, and won't like these names now.   Let's face it, Life aint fair, and making it even more difficult for a child you are supposed to love shows a parents outright stupidity in theior quest to be different from the herd, hence, why, courts seem to be a voice of reason in some cases. 

A good maxim is never out of season.

A good medicine tastes bitter.
