cleverpun Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/saudi-arabia/saudi-arabia-bans-50-baby-names-1.1303898 The Ministry of the Interior released a list of given names on Thursday; any baby born there can't have any of those names. They claimed that the names didn't fit in with social or religious traditions, but that reasoning doesn't apply to every item listed. Saudi Arabia is not the first country to ban names; several countries have laws concerning the matter, and state departments have vetoed names that are "potentially offensive" or difficult to pronounce, including single letters and the like. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/03/16/why-did-saudi-arabia-ban-51-baby-names/ http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/world/asia/new-zealand-stange-baby-names/ Thoughts?

Peanuts Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Binyamin is believed in Islam to be the son of Prophet Jacob (Yaqoub) (PBUH) and the full brother of Prophet Joseph (PBUH), but it also happens to be the name of the Israeli prime minister. Abdul Naser, similarly, is the name of the famous Arab nationalist ruler of Egypt, who was at odds with Saudi Arabia. Seems legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some douchebag parents named their kid Adolf Hitler so should that be legal? That's why certain names are banned, but most of these on the list shouldn't be, especially Benyamin like lol fucking seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
