His Nomial Oppressiveness
This week the Pope declared war on parents naming babies after celebrities, fruit or popular sports cars. In an address to parents, the less than progressive pontiff pleaded with worshipers to ‘give your children names that are in the Christian calendar’. So Apple, Brooklyn and Ferrari are out, Francisco and Giulia are in.
This creates a conflict for parents who want to name their daughter Olivia since it’s a fruit (olive), a celebrity (Newton-John) and a famous place of Christian history (Mount of Olives)
Worse off yet are those who wish to name their child Gabriela since its a form of Gabriel on the plus side, but connected to Gabriela Sabatini who was a fetching tennis playing celebrity.
Of those who are little concerned by this are the Protestants who get to continue naming their children any darn thing they wish… like Kyd (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni), Ocean (Forest Whitaker) and Willow Camille Reign (Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith)

Oh come on now. :) He just wants people to give kids names that mean something more than ‘OMG I LOVE SNOOKI” or “ITS HEAVEN SPELLED BACKWARDS” Ferrari is dumb. Olivia is fine. :) Though, the only ones who care what he say already choose normal names.
