Alternatively, should children be allowed to change their names to one in a restricted list anytime before 18, then to anything after 18?

    Let me give you an example of why you can’t do this:

    I think that “Connor” and “Brody” and “Mikaela” and “Chase” are stupid names.

      No, names like Vagina, X Squared and Helicopter are stupid names. Connor, Brody and Mikaela are just names you don’t like.

      Many countries have law banning stupid name which aren’t a way to give abusive power to a civil servant but to protect kids from crazy parents, so your example doesn’t work
