[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are reasons why countries who regulate baby names (as several European countries do) and don't allow parents to call their child Lampshade also require that the name be gender specific. [/quote]

What are the reasons?

By the way, here is a German court decision allowing German parents of Indian heritage to name their girl child Kiran, even though the -an ending is usually (though not always) for boy names in German, and even though Kiran is a name for both boys and girls in India, [b]on grounds that it's the parents' right to name their child, unless the name is bad for the child's welfare.[/b]

The German constitutional court decision was based on the fact that Kiran is a unisex name in India. They would not have ruled like this for parents wanting to name their daughter Thomas. Not sure what they would have done with Elliot, given that there apparently are a few individual cases of girls named Elliot in the US.[/quote]
