    Why can't she be satisfied with a normal name?

    Gwyneth ... or Apple.

    Offset ever so slightly by the fact that her name is Bjork. If Bjork makes the acceptable list for a girls' name, then Blaer certainly should.

    New item for the bucket list:

    Visit Iceland a year from now when Blaer is 16.

    Get some BBW action - Blaer Bjork Wombat.

    I am going to hell.

    I think the Netherlands has a similar law.

    Sounds like such laws exist across the globe.

    It could be worse. The parents could have named their girl Little Hitler.

    And for the boys, the popularity of the name "Adolf" took a hell of a hit for the past 70 years.

    And with good reason of course.

    The home exists, and it can be a lovely place to visit. You're just not looking in the right place. You have to look gently, then more forcefully if necessary. Don't give up. Google it if you're still coming up empty. You might be looking in the wrong place.
