Isn’t there laws against names like this?
In North America, the only laws I know of are the character restrictions on the input field for the birth certificate.

No, why would there be laws about names? Name has to come from somewhere, right?
It’s to stop crackheads from naming their children names that will be detrimental to them throughout their life. Like naming them shitbag or sandals. No one would call their kids names like this you say? There’s a reason they had to invent this law SMH
Didn’t Michael Jackson name his kid Blanket
Pretty sure that’s just a nickname.
Well, there’s not, because the law literally doesn’t exist (in the United States anyway).
And that’s a pretty stupid fucking reason.
This is a great example of the price of freedom. Poor shitbags has to live a shitty life just because a deranged parent felt like being edgy and pushing the free speech laws to their limits.
They don’t. During their coming up they have a nickname and then they change their name. It’s not a thing.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but you have way too much faith in humanity. It’s probably a good thing in many ways
