Couple Banned From Naming Their Baby This
A couple in Saint-Malo, France, has been banned from naming their newborn baby Hades after the ancient Greek god of the dead and king of the underworld.
Now I know baby naming is hard, but you couldn’t find ANYTHING else that you liked? After naming Cashton Duke, baby number 2 was a struggle to name. Seemingly Jaxson’s middle name was easy (Joseph after my late father) but his first name was a struggle. Now, I don’t know about Hades for me personally but live and let live. The kid can change his name when he gets older if he wants. Well, apparently French authorities and I don’t think too much alike.
According to Daily Mail, Kristina Desgres and Rodrigo Velasquez chose the name innocently, believing it to be “pretty,” but the Saint-Malo public prosecutor refused to accept the name.
French authorities can veto a name if it is not in the child’s best interest and demand that parents change it, and in this case, the public prosecutor deemed the name Hades inappropriate for a child. Despite the decision, the couple has hired a lawyer and is fighting to keep their baby’s name, pointing out other parents who have successfully named their children Hades without any problems.
