An Italian court has ruled that a couple could not name their son "Friday" and ordered that he instead be called Gregory after the saint whose feast day he was born on

    I wouldn't choose to name my child Friday,but
    to each their own.

    At least it's not as bad
    as naming your kid Moon Unit,Dweezil,or Apple.

    I don't think the courts
    should have gotten involved in this case.

    Although I must admit,I prefer the name Gregory
    to Friday.

    Well,at least Gregory's
    parents will have an interesing story to tell
    him when he is older.

    Moon Unit and Dweezil... ahhh, that good old Zappa family. Even their family name is really anything.

    Honestly, it's borderline, but I see nothing wrong with having "Friday" as name.

    It is Italy, for crying out loud! Who cares!

    What a waste of taxpayers money... And, besides that... Who are they to tell parents what name they have to give their baby? Gregory??? In Italy? That would probably be Gregorio, right? :roll:

    i am not sure i understand your reaction.

    Do you not care because it happened in Italy or that his name would be Gregorio and not Gregory or Friday? Why do you assume that his name would be the Italian version. The article said that they wanted to name their child Friday not Venerdi.

    First of all, who in Italy should care if they call their son Friday. No one should. Friday is English. Why shouldn't they be allowed to give their son an English name? A girl at the school of my kids is called Friday, and her friend is called Summer.
    Then the court tells them to give their son another English name. Gregory. If Friday is not allowed, why is Gregory? Why doesn't the court tell them to call him Gregorio?

    Why in the world does the court tell them what to call their kid anyway?

    Well, Friday is better than the Chinese couple who wanted to name their kid the @ symbol.
