Whatever Happened To Good Old Bob?

A judge in the Dominican Republic has proposed a law that would ban children’s names that can be confusing, give no indication of gender, are vulgar, have more than three words, or are difficult to pronounce. He cites such names as Tonton Ruiz (Dummy Ruiz), Toshiba Fidelina, Querida Pina (Dear Pineapple), and Rambo Mota. Hey, it’s not like they’re naming their kids Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin), Banjo (Rachel Griffiths and Andrew Taylor), Bronx Mowgli (Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz), or Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf).
