  1. Justice is a fine name!

  2. I wonder how they feel about Sargeant.

    It’s interesting to see single letters outlawed. I wonder if it applies to all 26 of them. I have a friend who’s grandfather’s first name was J (not Jay).

  3. That is absurd !!!
    My son’s name is Duke & it’s a family name
    that we hope will be continued to be used for
    generations to come.
    Lucky I’m an Australian living in the USA.
    Silly Kiwi’s !!!

  4. i have a cousin named Lucifer…
    iknow, Lucifer= satan..the devil…
    but Lucifer was his angel name, before he became wicked this is the name of a beautiful Angel, i can understand if satan / devil would be banned but Lucifer? Just because he became bad doesnt mean to say his original name should be hated on, thats just like saying a man named Bob grew to be an evil wicked guy so they changed his name to Robert and noone was alowd to be called bob..or robert from then on
