The Court of Appeal ruled the “unusual” choices might harm the children. The infant twins, as well as the mother’s other children, have been taken from her care. When Powys council social workers learnt of the names the mother had chosen for the twins, they took the case to court. In June, a judge issued an injunction against the mother, forbidding her from formally registering the twins’ forenames.

A mother has been banned from naming her baby Cyanide after the poison. The woman, from Powys, Wales, also chose the name Preacher for the girl’s twin brother, saying she had a human right to name her own children.

  1. Seems like a lot missing from this story. For example were the children removed from her care because she was already a fruitcake, or because of these ridiculous names?

    It blows my mind that the government anywhere can tell you what you can and cannot name your child, though I do admit I’d feel bad for a kid called Cynanide. WTF?

  2. At the other end of the spectrum, Charles Manson’s birth certificate lists his name as “No Name Maddox.”

    “I’m not a bastard! We just don’t know who Dad is.”

  3. What if Uncle Sy of Duck Dynasty had a kid with a woman named Ida with a hyphanated last name of Pell-Swallow and named it Sy-n-Ida Pell-Swallow Robertson?

    They’d let that go through, right?
