Hi Everyone!!
I hope you're having a super duper day.
A couple in Sweden are fighting - in court - for the right to name their son 'Q'. The first judge ruled against them saying that it was inappropriate.
What do YOU think?!

Q? Must be Star Trek fans.
I think parents need to remember how cruel kids can be when they name a child. Naming them an odd name is just asking for the kid to stand out and be teased. I personally see nothing wrong with Q. Odd, but ok. We here in America have kids name Hitler (which I do find wrong), Apple, Audio Science, Fifi Trixibell, Moon Unit, Moxie CrimeFighter, ect... I think Q is the least of our worries.

Re: Discussion: Should parents have right to name child single letter first names?
hmm i dont see anything wrong with Q, i mean there are alot of people that go by two letters, like J.R. or D.J. so whats the issue with just one letter?

Re: Discussion: Should parents have right to name child single letter first names?
OK, can I name my kid
.
??
or what about X?
I think that a 1 letter name isn't good (even though I'm a big Star Trek fan). Maybe as a nickname, but not as a real name.

Weird.. I always associated Q with James bond :p
However, they should be able to name their kid whatever they want, even if it is a little weird.

I think it's alright, a bit weird though. Might be strange for the child having a name like that, and he could run through the probability of getting made fun of.
If I named my name a single letter name though I'd go with "L"

Re: Discussion: Should parents have right to name child single letter first names?
I guess they can just spell out the letter... "Kue" It's like the name, Jay... that's pronounced, "J" but spelled out. I think you should be able to name your kid what ever you want. Hey, if they really dislike their name... wait til they get older and can change it themselves.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
