Quite interestingly, till 1993 parents in France had to
choose a name for their baby from a long list of acceptable "prenoms"
laid out by authorities and available in the local Mairie. So much for a
country which prides itself with the invention of 'Liberty, Equality and
fraternity!
Incidentally this repealed law was brought in by Napoleon
Bonaparte 300 years back.
Mercifully this
obligatory list was scrapped under President François Mitterand and
French parents were given the liberty to name their children themselves.
However there is a twist in the tail. Under the new law a court can still ban
names if they decide it is against the child's best interests.
'Liberty, Equality and fraternity! Ah bon!
