i must have upset ppl....
sorry if i did...but its so typical for ppl to do some research or whatever and then draw conclusions about a country when the y dont have a f......n clue
still in the 50 s and 60 s government all over the world tended to rely upon so called scientific research just to back up anything...
...and america was there too...
edit...and mkloby...
if you studied harder (maby)..youd know this approach is modern contra what we today call post modern...once upon atime in the 40 50 and 60 s...these studies where the basis...of political decision...belive it or not...and yes some i the back view mirror seem totally absurd....but the truth of the matter this is how much where decided upon...research in absurdum...
and no need to call me an ass hole...big wig

First names are chosen by the child's parents. There are no legal a priori constraints on the choice of names. This has not always been the case. The choice of given names, originally limited by the tradition of naming children after a small number of popular saints, was restricted by law at the end of the 18th century. Officially, only names figuring on a calendar or names of illustrious Frenchmen/women of the past could be accepted. Much later in 1966, a new law admitted in a limited number of mythological, regional or foreign names, substantives (Olive, Violette), diminutives and alternative spelling.
Only in 1993 were French parents set free to name their child without constraint. However, if the birth registrar thinks that the chosen names (alone or in association with the last name) may be detrimental to the child's interests, or to the right of other families to protect their own family name, the registrar may refer the matter to the local prosecutor, who may choose to refer the matter to the local court. The court may then refuse the chosen names. Such refusals are rare and mostly concern given names that may expose the child to mockery.

Hmmm think your right there. Wonder if there is a link between consuming vast amounts of drugs and giving your children bizare names?
