French forbidden to name children in honor of products
Two French couples, who named their newborn daughters Nutella and Fraise, were ordered to rename babies in court. According to La voix du Nord, the judicial authorities of the city of Valenciennes (Nord-Pas-de-Calais province) considered these names to be offensive to children.
A judge in Valenciennes twice last week considered cases on renaming children, and it is not yet clear whether the parents were familiar or the “culinary” names were chosen by them independently of each other.
Lawsuits arose after the Valenciennes registry staff filed a formal complaint. After that, the city prosecutor intervened, taking into account that these names "can prevent two girls, when they grow up, to lead a normal personal life." The court considered the arguments of the prosecutor's office to be significant, calling the actions of parents a mockery, and explained that children at school age may begin to tease their peers.
После вынесения постановления, родители Клубнички (Fraise) предложили дать дочери имя Фрезин (Fraisine) — распространенное в ХIХ веке, которое судья одобрил. Родители второго ребенка долгое время игнорировали повестки в суд, поэтому постановление было вынесено заочно. В соответствии с ним девочка по имени Нутелла будет переименована в Эллу, пишет «Лента.ру».
