There is something "fundamentalist" about this decision, especially that it was done so long after the event.

And no, I am not bashing religion, but in this specific case, I don't agree with the decision.

this says it all really - Italy is a Catholic country. The parents are Catholic - so they should obey the spirit of the law at least. Of course, they should have known in the first place (by the local priest telling them) that it was 'frowned upon' to name a child that way.

Only one kid called Jock though? You'd almost think it was only ever a nickname in the first place!

I noticed there was one kid who got called Nigar. That's somewhat... strange.
